However the moment your needs become more demanding, you’re probably going to want to run your server on a desktop or laptop. If you only plan to watch one video at a time and you’re not planning to share your Plex library with other users, an inexpensive NAS or a Shield TV might do the trick. Here’s Plex’s support page that discusses the minimum requirements it’s a good place to start. Since the Plex Media Server does the lion’s share of the work involved in organizing and playing back your media, a sufficiently powerful device is important for the best experience. A sufficiently fast Wi-Fi network (routers and devices that support 802.11ac are best) can work too, but you’ll need excellent signal strength to support streaming in 4K/ HDR. Whichever one you choose, a wired network connection for both your server machine and your client device is recommended.
