Hi all,

I am into the hunt of a Android tv box.  Device with S912 cpu is always better than the S905 cpu correct ?

I am looking at :
1.  MXIII - G II Box  RM 286 at lazada
2.  Alfawise S92  RM292 at lazada
3.  COOLEME MB2    RM 258 at lazada

which one is better ?

laugh.gif Those famous brands will have good support for firmware or if anything screwed up, you will have solutions. Like Minix, Himedia.

For me, I bought my own box before coming to this thread. It's not a famous box but it's working well for me. The seller seems reputable, after some credit card rebate, I got it around RM 200. It was just shared few pages earlier. Docooler brand. I'm quite happy with it but not sure for others.
*
yeah....i think himedia is outta my budget range and not sure about minix will check it out

u bought your box from lazada or gemfive? hmm.gif

at the same time i also contacted a few seller about mibox but most of them doesn't really give info

coz im very confuse of mibox lineup as some of it running android tv os and some is full fledge android.

No need to beg.. How about you take a look at Frutie's box? I recently had to quote one of her posts, which contains a link to the box on Lazada (If not mistaken). You are a senior member and should know how to isolate/show only posts from a particular user (Very helpful forum feature).. Do that to either mine or Frutie's..
*
usually i'll check on the first post

well...this isn't a well maintained threads

so i decided to give it a shot while at the same time a search shows up tons of unknown brand.

owh well...some ppl gonna spoon feed me later

im waiting

Aiyo, guys... Jangan gaduh la. sweat.gif

Android box is a pretty easy thing to setup if you are an Android user. I mean, even girls like me can do it, you guys can too. Just buy a box which you like and good to go. flex.gif
Edit: Chill. I will discard the report for now. Herojack41, don't troll anymore.

the so call "senior member" is so helpful and wanted to start spoon feeding me. so i grant him what he wish biggrin.gif .

my initial plan were buying the mibox off taobao and figure it out myself.

but is kinda waste of time to deal with it as it not so straight forward and china mainland version is different too.

planning to do some not-so-legal-thing laugh.gif

as the price range i search is really a lot and i seen lots of discussion on this price range in this threads.

hoping to get some leads on which is the best in it...turned out to be a spoon feed statement for some senior.

lmao.

Hmm. No discussion about illegal stuff here. smile.gif
MiBox is very popular in China but i don't want to crack my head to think so much, I chose an easier path. blush.gif Maybe if you are adventurous, you can try. laugh.gif

getting the mibox with android tv OS is my worst nightmare...so dare not to buy it and try it

as they are not clearly listed in the spec sheet. laugh.gif

guide on rooting the mibox guide on the internet is abit sketchy and bricking the device is my last resort laugh.gif

If Himedia outta your budget, the same goes to Minix, dNT talk abt Shield.

Within your budget, lookup for Sunvell T95M, T95Z, T95U or Beelink GT1,  MXiii ii or Nexbox A95X

Alright thx.

Actually the more powerful the box is it means it can play more files?

Aiyo...give la details....what you  know, how you are going to use it, are you well verse with kodi or willing to maintain it..or need external support, and what actually you dont know....so that we can give details..

if its just gimme suggestion for a best  rm200++ box, there are tons out there and "best" is relative

its like any car or tv, everyone has their own likes and requirement, there is no "best"

im using it for prawn bro

QUOTE(nikrizal @ Feb 3 2017, 05:39 PM)
Decent brand like Minix & Himedia are well built and also have good support like firmware upgrade. Of course they're a bit pricey. But not necessarily means it can play more files. I would say they'll cause less trouble compare to others.

If you want some adventures, buy a relatively expensive unbranded one like the one I bought recently, Alfawise H96 Pro+. I would say it's a good box, causing me no trouble so far after almost 3 months. Of course time will tell if it'll live up to my expection like my existing three year old Minix, which I let it switched on 24/7.
*
ohmy.gif i see

reliability is the key then.

yeah gonna switch it on for 24/7...guess is time to DIY some fans that are same as my router
