Whats so good about MINIX?
would it beat apple tv? - thats what i currently have.
would it beat apple tv?
Yes, 4x better at half the price.
All MINIX players are excellent, but why buy an old model when I can buy the new one for less.

The SoC in the X8-H is much more powerful that the S905 found in the U1 so if you're a gamer, you may want the extra grunt.
A9r4 processor in X8-H vs A53 in NEO seems the NEO is better. Or do you mean the GPU only?
Was interested in your prices, when I click on the link I get AUD $174-43. Then when I add the A2 Lite Airmouse I get $201-17. I have done it a few times now and get a different 'price' each time but still nothing like $163 delivered.
AU is inaccurate there. Better off to use US with a CC ;)
I can't believe how little this product has dropped in price. I purchased this from DX 08/2014 for $180 With an M1 air mouse.
I can't understand how it's only dropped $15 in 20 months. Best ageing tech ever.
maybe has something to do with the newer model minix released not being more powerful ??
Upon review, you're half correct, mate. I got the 'MINIX NEO X8-H' not the 'MINIX NEO X8-H Plus'.
Only differences I'm aware of is the chipset (with the 'Plus' supporting wireless AC).
I believe everything else is exactly the same though, RAM, CPU etc.
You can blame MINIX for that. They have a set price range on each product and won't let the resellers go out of that range without permission.
Yep, they've got the same pricing policies as Apple.
This product uses an S812 chip. The text says it supports H265/HEVC codec .. but that's deceitful. It only supports H265 in 8-bit. Most H265 videos you get now will be 10-bit, and not compatible with this device.
Not a bargain - you'll need to replace it soon anyway! The newer minix listed above are better price & full capability. Or just go with a generic Android TV box with the right hardware. Available on ebay for ~AU$50 (but without a nice air mouse).
This is not an Android tv box. It's just ask Android box that you can plug to the tv. Android tv is an operating system
This is a pretty good media box. Been using it for half a year now.. no issues whatsoever. Plus this deal includes the wireless keyboard/mouse. That makes the deal even better.
