I assumed Windows when you said PowerPoint. They make wireless PowerPoint remotes, and you could always use a remote-control sized keyboard+trackpad (http://amzn.com/B00I5SW8MC)
I added a 4GB G.Skill DDR3L SODIMM and a 64GB SSD I had spare. I upgraded the wireless because I wanted 5GHz 802.11ac support. You need Professional editions of (client) Windows to operate as an RDP host. -----Original Message----- From: Hardware [mailto:hardware-boun...@lists.hardwaregroup.com] On Behalf Of Dave Gibney Sent: Saturday, February 14, 2015 3:46 PM To: hardw...@lists.hardwaregroup.com Subject: Re: [H] Small box to drive projector That is one I looked at before. Looks like I would need memory, storage, possibly an HDMI to VGA converter. Then there is the question of remote control software. I guess I could just go with Windows and RDP (What level of Windows 7, 8.1, 10) does RDP? I would love to be able to reach it with an Android Galaxy as I have a spare :) > -----Original Message----- > From: Hardware [mailto:hardware-boun...@lists.hardwaregroup.com] On > Behalf Of Greg Sevart > Sent: Saturday, February 14, 2015 12:38 PM > To: hardw...@lists.hardwaregroup.com > Subject: Re: [H] Small box to drive projector > > I just recently built a tiny system around the Intel NUC DN2820FYKH.
