I currently run Kodi on an Acer Revo 3610 with 4GB RAM and a regular SATA hard drive. The Operating System is Ubuntu Linux 14.04. The performance is ok, obviously I wouldn't mind some additional speed and some future-proofing for new technology. I currently only watch 1080p movies with DD5.1 sound. I'd like to continue to run Ubuntu (full distribution) with Kodi, but I'd also like better performance for RetroArch (and eventually RetroPlayer!). N64 Mario Kart in particular is laggy. Any suggestions on new hardware? I'd prefer the hardware be in a small slim case like the revo. Would the HP Chromebox with the 2955U be ideal for me?
