I haven't made up my mind if it is a worth while thing to give a try or not yet so was just asking for a little bit of advice on what others here might be using as i am sure there are a few that use mini pcs for this setup.
I am basically at the moment just trying to find out what a good cheap mini pc to use?
I have been doing a bit of research and nothing much has really came up.
I have seen a youtube video of a person in the states using a BMAX
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...language=en_US
But that is in the States.
I could also be wrong here, but i think i need to have Windows 10 Pro to allow remote access, my laptop has the pro version but i see this one from Amazon doesn't.
I just basically want it to run all my gear as i am with my Laptop ( a bit of a vague description i know )
Any advice would be appreciated,
Thanks.

Peter,
I use Remote Desktop from my laptop in the NexDome to my laptop in the study
Yes you do require Windows 10 pro on both machines
I ran a Cat5e data cable underground from NexDome to house at approx 35m in length, works beautifully
Cheers
