I am currently thinking about the G Box Midnight it seems to be just what I need, it has all the input's and outputs I need, supports 1080p output without any issues (or so it seems)
My questions are to the owners out there or those who know more than myself.
How is the playback of all files, any stuttering, or problems?
How is the remote, quality and functionality?
Does it run Android, if so, smoothly? (It appears to, but ive only been watching youtube videos and they are pretty spotty on what they cover)
How is youtube and netflix, do they run well? (Probably a yes if the box run's android as I use both of those apps on my cell phone w/o issue)
My only thing is this being a single core, can it handle XBMC and all that without any issues? I have seen videos and that of the MK808 and it has a dual core A9 CPU which intrigues me, however there is no hardware decoding so 1080p is unwatchable. Being single core, is the g box still able to multi task without to much issue? (With my use I will probably never multi task but I'm an "enthusiast" if you will, and the more capable a piece of 'tech' is the more I want it, regardless of if I will use the extra features or not. I know, I'm nuts :S )
Thanks guys.
(I'm stepping up from an original XBOX to a set top box of some sort so I am sure pretty well any one out there will blow the socks off my current setup)
