Ive been using 1 for more than 6 months already. It comes wit micro usb cable but without power adaptor. But that’s not an issue as you can just use any adaptor or even plug in directly to your usb on your tv. Yes its very convenient as you can just plug into your hdmi port and you’re good to go.

In terms of performance, its acceptable. Not as fast and smooth as the mi box but works pretty well and has certified android tv status. Unlike mi box that supports 4K, this supports up to 1080P but it does the job well.

No worries mate. But imo if you’re looking for something long term, mi box s is still much better la.

Oh, then for your use mi stick is ok. Mi box s is just faster and smoother in the UI. All other functionality is the same as mi stick except mi stick only supports up to 1080p as i mentioned. Mi stick is a little bit slower and sometimes has a slight lag in the UI but no issues when viewing.
