If so, that would be fantastic!
 
I have a chrome cast. I love it. Bought it on TAKEALOT. It is not android. It is just for streaming plex and Netflix and stuff.

That android PC would be a full android is with support for keyboard and mouse.

oh ok. I understand now. Helps to research a bit into it. So for me I think the chromecast is actually stupid. I know this is more expensive but I have a similar thing but runs on windows. Now with that I can actually do things without having to whip out my tablet or desktop or whatever. I can just navigate through the pc itself but I guess what works for me might not work for you. That cloudgate thing will also be doing what he needs. I'm not sure if the cloudgate might do what you want to do if you really need chromecast then get one from takealot. It's not that expensive and free delivery for July.

they both have their niche...Chromecast has a narrow focus and is therefore able to hit a pricepoint Cloudgate can't make. That focus also allows it to ship with no additional peripherals since you interact with the device through your phone or tablet. Cloudgate is the more traditional desktop environment i.e. wider task focus with the flexibility that brings but also clutter since you need peripherals to interact with it.

Get the one that suits your needs...I have both.

TAB-PROLINE W835G 8" IPS Windows 8.1 tablet price drop to R999.90
Not sure, but it was around R1800-R2000. Better specification than Nextbook which was priced R1500, now dropped to R1240 on special. Windows 10 coming out, maybe is not special after all. :)

After the ripoff pricing on the 500GB Samsung evo 850 "sale" ... this is quite cheap for a 75k iops read/write, 560mb/s read/ 460 mb/s write drive @R732 :
Transcend SSD370 128GB SSD http://www.takealot.com/transcend-ssd370-2-5-inch-sata-3-solid-state-drive-128gb/PLID32837001

That Transcend is an excellent drive. I wouldn't say its out and out better than the 850 Evo, but it terms of value for money it cannot be beat. Got one a couple days ago for a family member and it's damn quick.
