Bought two of these on Newegg because its $99 there. I was confident that this box was going to trump the Midnight. I was wrong and highly disappointed. Sure, it's pretty fast in Android, but that's all you're going to get. There's not a single build of XBMC that works on this box (I've tried EVERY one) unless you like watching standard def content. 720 stutters just a little too much to watch and you can forget about 1080p. The wifi is good in this though, no streaming problems - but who needs streaming when it doesnt have the balls to decode the video? And it's too expensive for the features. There's a ton of Rockchip boxes on the market much cheaper than this. Heck the MK808 runs better than this box and is half the price!I really wanted to love it. I've bought a ton of Midnights and when I saw this and the positive reviews I was excited to get one. If anybody says this box runs XBMC then they obviously aren't using XBMC with HD content otherwise they would change their review to reflect the choppiness. It's unbearable.If you're looking for a straight Android box to do Android stuff, this is not a bad box. Maybe too expensive, but not bad. If you're a power user looking for something to run XBMC and can handle custom ROMs there's still not a brand better than G-box. Even Pivos Xios is better than this thing and the xios is slower than molasses.. at least IT can play HD content though.I'm not giving it one star, because it does run Android well and wifi is good. It's only rebooted on it's own a couple of times but I think it was because I was pushing it too hard.

Came with Android 4.1.1 installed.3 USB ports, can be used for Wireless keyboard/mouse/airmouse dongle, webcam, storage, etc..10/100 Ethernet port - important for streaming video reliably.Installed latest Skype from Play Store, works perfectly with Logitech webcam (standard "UVC" class webcams only).XBMC for Android 12.0 RC appears to work perfectly, plugins make it extra nice.Great performance, connectivity - doesn't seem to get hot either. Some niggling issues with Minix launcher.I like using a microsoft Bluetrack mobile mouse, but will experiment with the iPazzport airmouse/keyboard combo.The supplied remote is small and cheap but the buttons can be learned by another IR remote if necessary. It isnot a good replacement, however, for a good mouse.Support and user forums are almost non-existent, but Android HTPC enthusiasts should be very happy withthe purchase of this device. An ideal price, bundled with a better air mouse remote, might be US$100-.If the manufacturers managed to offer a similar model with a 3.5" SATA drive bay, for DVDR or large mediadrive, this would be the "bees knees"!
