Problems I’ve discovered with this specific iPad miniĪ) it’s a little on the small side - it’s workable but something with more real estate would be nicerī) it’s from 2012 and it seems to choke on a lot of the content being direct streamed. I just want to stream stuff that’s already on my Plex server into here. I have absolutely no desire to use this for any kind of computing or any other apps. I’d rather have a cheap tablet in here vs an expensive laptop (if a $200 toy gets ruined, that sucks - if a $2000 tool gets ruined, that’s a disaster). The iPad mini seemed like the right tool for the job, and in testing the idea, the concept works. We’ve never used it for anything else - between our TVs, laptops and iPhones, there just hasn’t been any need for it.īut lately I’ve been spending more time in our kitchen getting back into cooking, and I thought it might be nice to be able to have a small screen in here that I could use to watch sitcoms and other light entertainment while I’m cooking and cleaning. I just set up a HTPC running Plex, and on a lark I tried installing the client on an old iPad Mini from 2012ish that my wife got for free ages ago. I know almost nothing about the current crop of tablets.
