I love my deck because
But I was wondering what kind of uses other people have with it, as a non gaming machine?
I have used it a couple times to use Plex and watch movies/TV. Weirdly though it seems it requires an internet connection. I went on a trip and was hoping to watch 2 episodes on a flight and they were downloaded, showed as downloaded and when I clicked play it just spun and failed to play. Later when I had WiFi I clicked play and it was showing small amounts of network activity. Would much rather watch movies on that compared to my phone
