Best Mini Computer

[MissHalifax]

I am a Senior and not very knowledgeable about computers. My husband & I are tired of paying the high costs of cable TV. We are looking for a mini computer that we can connect to our home TV and stream HD Movies. We do not need to use it for anything else. What would you recommend? I have been told that whatever I use it will need an HDMI CONNECTION outlet. Is that correct?

First check your tv and see what inputs it has; some tv's have none!

My TV does have an outlet for a HDMI CABLE.

I think the cheapest way to go might be a Roku3.

if you still want to look at a pc let us know, but you don't need one just to stream movies.

Sounds like you want a TV rather than a computer. Newer TVs have reception for streaming TV shows and movies... Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, Showtime, and more, without subscribing to cable. You need an internet connection to the TV. Go to Best Buy and tell them what you are looking for, and they will give good advice.
