I'm planning to use tv box to connect to internet browser such as google chrome and watch movie thru streaming website such as kissasian.net.

Can Mi Box do this? I don't mind using bluetooth keyboard and mouse.

There's MiBox thread, best ask them there

Hi,

Thank you for the reply. While looking for more information on android box, I found out that they have pure android OS and the newer android TV OS. The latter's Google Play store does not has much apps, but they can sideload the apk - seems like more job there to get installation done. I read that MeCool M8S Pro L is quite a popular choice with the people in the forum, but it is an android TV OS. May I know, which one gives a better user experience - pure android OS box or android TV OS box ?

Thanks

Side load app is easy and is done once in awhile

Android TV os is the in thing due to its UI

This box is my daily driver now replacing the old but still working himedia Q16

Some app are not optimize for Android os box hence you'll need to use mouse. This is common even for pure Android boxes as some app are meant for mobile phone

This box is working well

Awesome! Another user here. I realized YouTube stock version works well but if updated to latest there's a bug.

Other than that it's a very good box
