I'm looking for a device to play music, and maybe some other stuff. Considering an ARM-based board.

I'd been using a 2007 macbook that I got on its way to the trash a few years ago, but it died yesterday. Was largely only using it to play music and watch things on youtube. My other computer (which I found at the same time) is a 2005 dell, and the headphone jack doesn't work properly. It might well be on its way out too.

Need a 1:1 replacement, but don't want to buy another laptop. Considering a small ARM chip, like an Odroid. Generally I don't like macs, but I had sort of gotten used to it, and do like the durable aluminum case. Don't know of any other laptop with something similar, but with a small chip I could probably just make one myself.

Is this as viable as I think? Any other suggestions?

ARM boards do not have Flash support outside of Android.

Apparently it even works quite well

Also, another question. How viable is the notion of using an ARM board as a "pseudo" ASIC? Or a state machine?

Have a few uses in mind. Just beginning to (slowly) learn about circuit design. Something like that would do for now.

Raspberry pi zero? A little slow but good for music and YouTube If I recall correctly.

I don't want a cell phone.

If I had one I'd probably use that.
