I was about to purchase the MX2 on Amazon for $107 when I realized for the same price in a couple weeks I can go from a 2 CPU/2GPUs to 4/8 for the same price.
I'm about to preorder one of the makes (below), any suggestions as to which one I should buy? I'm wondering which one the community will support the most (if at all) or if I will be on my own. The specs look great, but those looking to buy should know these boxes (as of yet) will not decode DTS/DD, so you may want to wait a bit.
It basically comes in two flavors of 8 GB or 16GB native flash memory.
Also, you will likely need the cost of an additional wireless remote that has a mousepad so that you can take full advantage of the Android OS via USB dongle so figure that into your cost (although Bluetooth is included if you already have a device).
Here are two of the models/types I'm looking at:
Transmort 16 GB version ($120)
Personally, I don't think that an extra $15 bucks for 8gb native memory is worth it. The SD slot is expandable to 64 GB, and for $20 bucks on newegg you can buy a 32 gig SD card.
M8 8 GB version ($105)
Same M8 8GB version for $98 here
Transmort 8 GB version ($105)
One totally newb question, does KitKat have a working torrent client that I can use with these boxes?
