I'm looking for devices that can manage light games such as Hearthstone, Warcraft 3, Terraria, and Call of Duty 4. I'm not sure if any of these will work well with them. There might be other similar small units you're interested in, especially those in the shield lineup. You mentioned you could install a Windows version on it, but I doubt it would be ideal. Thanks for your thoughts!

I’d place every available amount I own right now (zero dollars) on the idea these computing sticks won’t handle Heartstone even with good configuration and 1080p performance, let alone other titles like Intel NUCs or Zotac mini PCs.

Solid performance in Half-Life, but be aware there are newer intel sticks that are quite tougher.

I think Heartstone is easier than HL2, and he’s running HL2 at 720p, right?
