That I don't know. I haven't been looking into one-board computers for a while. The one I bought ~10 years ago was running out of juice when I was trying to run Kodi on it last year. Wifi shouldn't be a problem IMO, I've been using mine as torrent downloader and hosted a few university projects (dynamic web apps) on it. The graphics might. I would guess that as long as you find one with decent specs (so probably not the 10$ one) it should work. I'm sure there's someone who is doing exactly that and either could answer what to buy/look for or wrote a blog about it
Thanks for the information and pointing me in a direction I can work with.
I found the pi setup to be too low powered, a lot of people opt for nvidia shield instead, but it has its own problems.
Im looking at making a micro computer using MicroITX form factor in a super slim case with a GPU (nothing insane, but something I wont need to replace for a long time).
After that, Ill mount the case behind the tv and hookup a wireless keyboard+mouse controller.
That might be a solution. A little over powered compared to a Vero or odrioid. Are you planning to game on it?
