+1 Chromecast has won IMO. Dirt cheap, good quality. I've put a few Chrome
Audios around the house as a cheapskate Sonos - works great (except can't
stream YouTube to Chrome Audio).

Depends on which apple tv you get.. Also, I didn’t pay for my compute stick 
which also included a wireless keyboard and mouse... So I’m not complaining..

Anyways, all I was trying to point out is that the computer stick isn’t quite 
useless.. But I wouldn’t recommend it for anything more than basic video 
streaming and maybe light web browsing.

I bought one of these. They are worse than useless.

It took about 10 hours to upgrade from WIndows 8.1 to 10.

And if you have lots of money to burn, there’s always the Apple Mac Mini +
