I know very, very little about the inner workings of media players and things like graphic cards, but what I do know is that I have seen enough interactive virtual tours on different devices to know they’re often choppy and sluggish. They’re smooth, usually, when there’s a PC with a dedicated graphics card driving things. […]

[…]
I don’t have the technical background to say this is indicative of anything, but my test so far of the little Asus Chromebit as a simple signage player has been positive.
