All this discussion along with other apps aging out on my 2011 Macbook 
has me thinking about a hardware upgrade. I've always liked the quality 
of Apple hardware.  Not sure if that's still the case 9 years later 
though. I know it's expensive.

Because I have a Samsung Galaxy phone, I get tons of emails about the 
latest with Samsung and see they have a new 2 in 1 Galaxy Book Flex with 
impressive specs, but it's a Windows 10 machine. Windows supports the 
applications I need once I buy them, but what about Mythfrontend? I 
don't think that works on Windows. I guess I could use Kodi?
