x86 would be good for flash and other linux plugins, but my experience with linux and atoms is TERRIBLE. Instead of using a Beelink HDMI stick, that would require me hours of tinkering to prepare it for HTPC, Core-M-based Intel Compute Stick was: install official Ubuntu ISO and everything works. Same with tablets...I use a Surface Go (just needed a wifi binary) and sold my Lenovo Tab 8.

Shame there isn't a 6/8 gb option. Even my dad multi tasks (if you count having 20 tabs open along with solitaire)

There is also this Atomic Pi which is Intel Atom as well. You need some accessories to make it work obviously, but a resourceful crowd here and many of the things you need, you may already have lying around. (except maybe the barrel power adapter).

It is an alternative to consider. I think ARM is interesting platform, but a lot of software is optimized for x86 still you likely get better performance (just because code is written for x86 vs ARM).
