[ale] OT: mini PC

[JD]

Or an x86 chromebook could be used - portable, keybaord, screen included.
I'd wonder about 1080p video performance too. Didn't see any mention of that in
the specs.

For a remote desktop, there are $60 options ... usually running Arm CPUs.
Don't know if x2go has been ported to Arm or not - it is nice on current x86
distros, however.  Just be certain to get the Windows x2go client from August or
later to avoid some nasty server-side CPU issues.
