I guess I dont follow what you're asking, or wanting me to defend? Just click on the pirate site > type what you're looking for > play the video maximized?.... I value the versatility of having a computer at my fingertips instead of an app controlling the addons and all the BS that comes along with Kodi and similar apps. A computer with a good browser that actually has an adblock that works, is infinitely more valuable to me.

Not asking to defend. I use a NAS w Plex and wondered if there was any particular benefit to plugging a PC up. Seems mostly like preference. Six one way, half a dozen the other and all that.

My friends mostly use free streaming apps and make fun of me for hosting my own media.

You should check the apps they use, find things that aren't on them, and start asking them "hey, did you see this awesome thing!?"

Wife is looking for a Windows tablet with a detachable keyboard. Was going to get her a Surface Pro, but apparently they're only making the Snapdragon version of that now, so, that's out. Any recommendations? I guess non-detatchable keyboard is ok too so long as the hinges are actually durable.

Any reason you don't want a snapdragon? I've heard nothing but good things about them.

Only compatability. I figure if it's running Windows, I'd like to stick with an x86 processor. If they're alright now, maybe I'll take a look, I wrote them off back when they released the Surface Pro X and it was hot garbage.

I was issued a snapdragon based dell for work and it's been perfectly fine. No issues in the 6 months or so that I've had it that I can trace back to it being ARM CPU.
