Slightly off topic but weird to not see Shadow.tech mentioned.
It's a smaller French streaming company where you get a complete VM you can do anything with for an unlimited amount of time.
It's not as easy because you will end up spending a little bit of time setting things up compared to a game-only system though.
I have used their service and was absolutely blown away _as a casual gamer_. I stream in 1440p 60fps+ with no hiccups and a latency of about 18ms from my laptops.
You need a solid connection, no low caps, and a good wireless router but other than that it's pretty amazing how well it works - also i would rather not use Google after their turn towards monopoly in the last years.
They are coming out with support for up to Nvidia Titan Tiers so you can have a crazy 3D rendering workstation on the go.
On the downside i guess it's not very green to be streaming several terabytes of data each month, also it's beginning of a pretty horrible slippery slope privacy wise.
But for "just gaming" or other non privacy/important stuff the "terminal" concept is pretty cool.
On a side note does anyone have any CO2/Megabyte calculator? I have had a hard time figuring out how impactful the move to constant HD streaming in a lot of homes is?
I slightly remember reading that the internet could use upwards of 1/3 of total power consumption in X amounts of years.
