I'm rezzing this thread because I'm still interested in exploring this. @Dare or others, do you have any ideas for doodling out some paper builds? Either DIY or from a pick-your-parts manufacturer. Let's assume we make it as thin-client and cheap as we can, while also assuming we're not shopping for second-hand parts. Maybe one desktop version and one laptop version. It's possible that certain Chromebooks will turn out to be cheaper than building a custom laptop, of course. Optionally, we might add the Pro-enabled dimension for 5.1/HDR/4K support. (I know, a "desktop version" could be a Chromecast Ultra plugged into a monitor, but let's assume we want to run in a Chrome/Chromium/Edge tab with keyboard and mouse.) If only the Raspberry Pi 400, the "computing keyboard", could have dealt with VP9, that would have been my first choice for the sheer convenience. Other single-board computers might still be on the table.
