Versatile, able to move from room-to-room, can be used to connect to the modem or whatever so my WIFI or internet stuff doesn't go down the drain. (Again, not tech savy folks).

A couple of user friendly apps (Netflix, Youtube, Hulu, etc)

HDMI Compatible for TV use from device (or..whatever)

Price range $700 - $1200.

 

Thanks

I got a refurbished iPad 3 with an otter box case for $250 off of eBay. Add a one-time cost of $30 for a chromecast to stream to your tv. You can do everything above for a fraction of what you are trying to pay.


This is the PC I'm going to build:

You don't need all that tho. It's not mobile and it's for gaming, so it has lot more power than you need.


Just get a tablet. iPads are the best obviously.
