The original Acer nettop that we installed in the kitchen was finally being just too slow for my wife to bother using it. So, last weekend we upgraded it to a brand new Asus Chromebox and she’s loving it.
And, since the 10 year old Ubuntu-running Celeron desktop acting as our media server gave up the ghost a few days ago (it just turned off and wouldn’t turn on again,) the Acer is our new media server as of this morning.
