Hey Guys, looking for suggestions on a box for my needs.
It will be used as a daily PC using Windows and basic applications (nothing heavy)
At night/weekends it will be moved and plugged into my Home Theater room/setup and playback MakeMKV created Blu-ray files from USB.
I also want it to be portable enough so I can pack it up and take it with me on trips or to friends/family house, along with a portable HDD and keyboard etc.
Must have features:
1: Windows.
2: Bitstream HD audio included latest formats like Dolby Atmos.
3. Portable.
4: Wired Ethernet and USB.
5. 2.5 HDD if possible.
Not bothered about:
3D, Full BD Menus, remotes or WiFi.
Ideally want to spend around $300 (I already have a spare Windows license and SSD for OS) may stretch a little though.
Something like a ASRock Beebox seemed perfect but is missing HD audio Bitstream in Windows, so anything similar to that would be ideal I think.
Thanks for any help/suggestions.
