I searched the thread trying to find discussion about the nexus player (searched "nexus") and absolutely nothing came up.
That was kind of surprising given it's x86, has AC wifi, comes with a nice remote already, and is about half the price of the chromebox.
Geekbench shows similar multi-core performance but Nexus Player single core is about half, which I guess makes sense given it has double the cores.
Can someone explain why it's been completely glossed over? Thanks!
Android is what kills it. A Chromebox with Linux gives you waaaaaaaay better performance, and only for $20-$40 more than a Nexus player.
