What do you all think of the base model? ( think the M3 based ones are a bit pricey.)

It should make for an excellent Kodi device.

Yep looks like they fixed the USB port problems.

No hevc 10 bit support. It seems Braswell based ... so you can throw it for future content. There are enough toys in arm world that are all not future proof as well but cheaper.

This article does mention the more expensive core m versions are skylake based

Maybe the cheaper entry level model is braswell?

doesn't really matter since both are limited to 8-bit HEVC decoding, and the skylake version isn't likely to have the grunt to do it in s/w
