Several people posting within this thread are skeptics. That’s fine. What I don’t understand is why someone wouldn’t actually try something to either prove or disprove their expectation. Dealers are willing to demo. Most dealers are also willing to let customers try in their own home. An audition will reveal whether or not a streamer will outperform a laptop and provide a suitable or improved experience.
It’s fair to note that a streamer is a purpose built computer, stripped of all the extraneous devices that don’t serve that function - like video processing, running 3rd party software, etc. Accordingly, they’re far more stable (don’t need updating every 5 minutes), don’t tend to crash, and don’t introduce the same levels of noise, etc.
As stated previously - audition one and then state your findings - good or bad. But those like usery above who state conclusively an opinion without any experience - are just missing out.
Try one. If you like it - buy it. If you don’t - don’t buy it - and then tell us what you found.
