It's simple, a little rough, but usable

It's not the most sophisticated experience, but it can be used in a pinch. It's not something I'd recommend for everyday streaming and the like, but it works well for something like a TV or maybe a projector. It's a bit sluggish at times, but I think it needs better cooling. I read that sometimes they have poor quality cooling solutions and adding a better heatsink will solve the problems. I plan to try this, but that's not what you need to do for it to work effectively. To be fair, maybe it isn't, but I suspect it is. It's not overly expensive, so it's a legitimate option if you have the patience and don't mind messing around. Whether it's cooling or RAM I'm not sure, but I know it has potential. Pros: Stream lots of different apps (App Store is a bit controversial) Cheap Good remote control Cons: Netflix isn't super HD Slow navigation at times Overall unless you're worried you'll have to fiddle around or do a little extra to make it work like that how it's supposed to work as a daily streamer should it pay off. If you are looking for an easy and quick turnkey solution I would keep looking.

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Crumpled
