Minix NEO-X5-116A

Inexpensive for an unlocked Android device. Fully open, stock Android. Compact with plenty of ports. Has built-in storage.

You need a touch screen. Clunky with air mouse remote. Really made for tinkerers and Android fans who are tinkerers. Interface is in 1,280 by 800 resolution, even on a 1080p screen.

In Use and Conclusions The Neo X5-116A is a very customizable system, and that will add an intimidation factor for novice users. If you've tried building your own home theater PC using Windows, Mac OS, and Linux, the Neo X5-116A might be a good project...

inoltre se attacco al minix un hdd esterno, posso vedere dal mip PC questo hdd (quando il minix è con il wifi acceso) come disco di rete?

Incredible mediaplayer. Works flawless with XBMC

Nothing

Box does not do 1080p despite being claimed on box. All updates are not done over OTA and erase everything so you have to start from scratch each time. Support people feel you are annoying customer when you try to resolve issues

Just not there yet if you want to have reliable way to play 1080p

Small ; Low power ; Versatile video output

Difficult to flash - USB cable doesn't stay connected ; Android support for set-top boxes is minimal ; Built-in media player interfaces are confusing for the non-technical minded (my daughter and wife) ; Video playback from a NAS via SMB was...

extremely fast delivery, frequent updates, size, zero noise, supports almost anything

remote is terrible (mentioned by many others)

install and run XBMC from this device without problems. (this is my main reason to buy X5)

Can't play 7GB ISO file but play fine with 4GB ISO using XBMC ; No Remote control., I have to use wireless mouse to control program ; Can't hide X5 because I have to reach X5 each time to power on the device by pressing the button on the box

Simple, easy to use, able to install custom roms and revert back to stock if needed. Finless Bob at freaktab says it is the best TV stick he has ever used and I agree. One of the best and cheapest option for turning your TV into an android player...

none so far

Compact unit with a number of additional ports and features not found in comparable Android TV devices ; Updated Android OS versions

Stablity issues ; Poor quality materials / construction
