I want to have a way to watch mkvs whenever I visit my parents' place.
The only requirements I have are: ability to play mkvs of any kind from an external usb ntfs drive, a way to scroll through a video easily (a mouse?), hdmi output and sub support.
No web browsing is going to be needed but it wouldn't hurt. I dont care about wifi, or gaming at all.
I was thinking about a windows 8 pro tablet, I will want to buy a tablet to use during flights as I am going to be selling my macbook pro (the thing I was using as a media player while I was there, and i was just using it on my holidays) but I think they are going to be pretty expensive, and I think that all rt tablets will not support mkv.
I would rather spend less then, and just buy a cheaper tablet for my inflight needs and ebook reading while at home.
Any suggestions?
