Switch to Atari VCS for all in one. Full Featured PC/Video Streamer/TV Game Console

EDIT: I pre-ordered Atari VCS because I was fed up with the limitations of Roku and other popular video streaming devices as they all either don't have an internet browser or don't work well. EXACTLY what I always wanted. I've been a Roku user for many years, including several different models. Here are a few points to consider when choosing a Roku model: 1) If you need to connect via WiFi in a room that's far from a WiFi router, I would recommend the Roku Streaming Stick Recommend PLUS or Roku Ultra If you have a 4K TV, I would recommend Roku Ultra or Roku Streaming Stick PLUS. The Premiere 2018 model also plays 4K.3) To search for content using your voice, be smart h either Streaming Stick, Streaming Stick PLUS or Ultra. All 3 of these models also have a remote control that allows you to control the power and volume of the TV. There is also a Roku app for Android and iPhone/iPad that you can use your smartphone with. /tablet to control any Roku device and use your phone/tablet's onscreen keyboard for searching. 4) If you need a wired Ethernet connection, use the Roku Ultra. 5) If you want to connect an old TV via RCA/Composite A/V jacks, you need the Express PLUS6) The Express and Premiere 2018 models, unlike others, have a remote control that clicks on the device Roku models must be addressed. My problem with Roku (and other streaming devices) is this. Lack of a fully functional web browser. I've surfed the web on a big screen for years and find it funny when a web-connected TV blocks you from browsing the web and forces you to switch to another web-connected device. I'm aware of the screen mirroring feature of smartphones/PCs/tablets, but I find it a poor excuse for not turning on the web browser. Many people who text and/or email a lot like me prefer typing on a wireless keyboard to a phone/tablet/remote control.
