Hi all,
So long story short I got a Pi B+ for free, and I tried OpenElec on it. I'm a fan, I'm a fan of moving my desktop out of that room too, so now I'm looking at more powerful options...
This is where it seems to get confusing....
VidOn, CuBox-TV, and an S812 varient* are in the running, but everyone seems to be talking apples and organes? The VidOn is slower (1.2) with a a7, with less ram, but the SGX544MP2 8 core. But the s812 is an a9 at 2ghz, more ram, but a worse GPU the Mali450 mp-8 that somehow supports 4k?
Then the CuBox-TV comes in with what appers to have the strongest GPU, but little else going for it?
Are there other devices I should be considering? Am I missing something obvious?
Would apprciate your insights...
