Hi I am in the process of buying a Kodi box to watch movies and especially my 3d movies I came across this during my searching and this looks like the new Kaby Lake i3. How good are these Msi Cubi 2's? and should it go with this or an intel 6th gen i3? I will be using windows 10 pro and Kodi with a plex server the price difference in Canada isn't much.

Kaby Lake is already available? Thought these were coming out Q1 2017.

Get this one Future Proof..

Very tempted to get one..

Here's the U.S. newegg link. Looked at specs on MSI's site and it's indeed a Kaby Lake 'U' CPU.

Tempting, but want to make sure it indeed does 10-bit (do see 4K@60 mentioned). And, whether you get full rez via HDMI or need to use DisplayPort.

HDMI 1.4?

Yep, I had read about that. So, need to buy a DisplayPort-to-HDMI adapter to get full rez.

Wish I had some money to waste, very tempted.
