Package Content
The largest package for TV box that I own. As usual, Egreat A10 comes in a well-protected packaging. Mine is from Unimax Pro, Malaysia locally this round. After took out Egreat 10, you can find other stuffs like 2 detachable antennas, HDMI, composite audio video & SATA cable, power adaptor, IR remote control with battery and user guide. Yes, the best user manual is there for A10 too. For your information, it is very detail and loaded with lot of coloured pictures. And soft copy is available to download from their website. Do check out A10 specs there too. Lot of them to be listed here.
Build Quality & Design
Egreat A10 is using Aluminium alloy with wire drawing process as casing. Top notch build quality no doubt - stylish, premium and sturdy. Just refer to the photos below and you will know what I mean. And it has a very unique front metal cover that hide the hard drive too. You can insert / remove HDD from front and not top or side. A saver for those with small cabinet. There is a LED white-Light dot matrix panel just besides it. Infrared receiver and power light indicator are there too.
Yup, this is the hidden internal 3.5 inch HDD rack that I talking about. All metal material is being used here.
LED display that show useful information like clock, remaining movie time, Wi-Fi, resolution and more. Brightness is good for both day and night. You can turn it off totally too.
Here is the air intake. Yup, there is a fan behind the case that keep the media player cool especially when there is HDD spinning. No worry, it is quiet and fan speed is automatically controlled based on temperature. Manual control is available too.
