Great base product
The market is saturated with a proliferation of sellers (at different prices) of this product. It is also fair to say that the product itself is also repackaged into many different boxes. Seeing the best of the bunch is harder each day.I have specific requirements for this 'tool' and I'm not easily swayed by trinkets. This box ticked all the boxes for my needs, including the right price. Included was a mini keyboard/mouse/touchpad add on, which looked okay visually.I set the box up (simple enough as it was a replacement) and saw it perform to my requirements admirably. Now that part was satisfied I began looking deeper into the product as a whole. Loading aida64 and checked the specifications, big thumbs up there, all that is claimed checked out. Ran several tests to show performance of the CPU, Codex and Streams, 4k@60htz streaming was consistent and 99% flawless (I did have to set a 2GB cache manually). Colours were well saturated and crisp, albeit I do have a quality 4KTV and HDMI cable which helps, along with a Techniques audio system, neither were left wanting.I personally do not like the Launcher and will look for ways to change that (if possible, albeit I have not looked too deeply how to achieve this), I also prefer to have greater control over my devices, I can see no clear way to get into the underlying engines (Android) settings, only the current launcher settings seem available, which are meagre at best. On the desktop I can see no way to remove/change icons, even after I uninstall the app, its Icon remains. For me the smattering of apps preinstalled aren't that bad and some may find them useful, thankfully it is not fully loaded with every app available like some. Kodi is missing, which I guess most users will be looking to use, even when Stremio is far superior and much faster. One strange issue I had was with the time.... default is to use the network settings, however this made the clock show 1 hour less than true location time. When I set it manually, most apps that stream (iPlayer,YouTube etc) wouldn't work saying the clock was not correct, to cure that problem and correct the clock on the front of the box, I set it to my actual time zone (GMT+1), however the desktop app still showed the wrong time, even after a reset. These are all of course an Android problem, not the hardware.I found the remote basic but useable, would have liked it to be an airmouse, fortunately the one I have worked without issue.When I tried the mini keyboard, mouse, touchpad, it was akin to typing on a 4" mobile phone screen for me, moreso when both hands were needed (shift + key). The touchpad was crude in resolution but sometimes also indecisive to the touch. The 'mouse' only simulates the keys on a mouse (left/Right). Now to the most annoying thing about this keyboard/mouse/touchpad, without the keys being backlit, I found it difficult to focus on the keys needed, when enabling the backlights, (fn+F2), it begins with a Christmas trees of lights, next press it a wave of colours, followed by a series of colours scrolling across the keys, BUT none were static, so I couldn't for instance work out how to have a blue or green backlight to the keys. It is just as well I am not epileptic or these lights could have caused me a problem.Conclusion, Is it worth the money?In my opinion it is worth the money asked for it.So if like me, you discarded the keyboard/mouse/touchpad, you would be hard tasked to find the bare box and basic remote for a cheaper price.

Useless, description lies about google apps and contains malware and spyware built into the OS
The media could not be loaded. As per my video, it’s not google certified so the play store doesn’t work.No Netflix or prime or Disney apps etc….If you want to pirate software that’s what it’s for. Also beware, this android unit will attempt to connect and monitor allDevices on your network. If you’re tech savvy you will figure this out. If not please google it for in depth reviews about how it does this.Awful unit purchased as a gift and going back the day after receiving it.

No Chromecast support. Remote a bit tricky.
Excellent performance. No Chromecast support and remote can be slow to respond or,on occasion non responsive. Limited number of shortcuts for apps on main screen but that is not a big deal.

Great little android device
I've had a few of these type of TV boxes before, but so far this one has to be about the best. Quick and easy to install on the TV, simple to use interface, easy to install other APPS. I'm happy with the purchase, especially as it comes with the keyboard.

After 6 moths, it's just rubish.
Was using it in UK, was feeling fine but after I came back home and got to compare it to a MiBox (not even a S model) realized it's just outrageous.It takes a lot of time to boot, the UI itself is muddy, no way to customize it. Lack of firmware upgrades.Tried to play a FullHD (4K) on it, the image just got frozen on first frame, can't go over 1440p.If you press volume and hold it or you press and gold to get for a letter on the keyboard you never know where it will get you and it feels you can get to moon and back.The remote feels cheap and is very squeacky...Much more, but it think you got it.The only great thing I found in this box is that it has optical output.

Used for video conferencing.... Whatsl a great android box, terrible keyboard
It's strange. I wasn't expecting much from this, but then again what I was looking for was a small android device I could use as a hub for video conferencing. I bought this, a webcam and a desk based microphone.... And wow.... So good. Put the webcam on the TV, but the desk mic .. Well.. On the desk. And Bob is indeed your uncle. Teams, zoom, meet and a load of other apps up and running in a matter of minutes. Absolutely brilliant.Seriously, for the money, this box breezes through vidoe conferencing so well, I'm tempted to suggest to the manufacturer they rebrand it.One fly in the pudding. The keyboard. It's terrible. On mind, one vertical row of keys doesn't work and kept causing the keyboard to switch off. But as it's part of the kit, I don't really want to send everything back... I guess I will put up with it because the main box in is so good!!!!

Faulty
Box worked well for a few weeks but is now stuck on boot mode. Box starts off with main screen then goes blank with display showing boot. Very disappointing
