Would have been so much nicer with Android on it

Nexus stick with Chromecast support.

Stream Games to it with Moonlight. Install Kodi, Plex, Superbeam ag the possibilities are endless. Google's a strange company they have the arsenal but for some reason restrain themselves.

ARM chip so it can't. That's why it's so cheap.

Nah i'd rather grab a Nexus Player they're going for as low as $40. Android can do every and anything.
