Just registered a few seconds ago, I was just about to place an order on a new box but after reading few posts here I really start to worry and have no idea what to buy
My budget is 75$ [not including shipping]
My top options were Beelink GT1 S912 or R-BOX Pro S912
I just found them to have the newest tech since the Rbox got 3GB ram, and both are with S912
I am clueless about Kodi and all but i am sure i will be able to set everything up myself without any issues [i now how to root devices and play with custome roms/kernels etc]
Can you please tell me what should i buy? Also where can i find the new Mi Box?
so the options are
1) Beelink GT1 S912 - 56$
2) R-BOX Pro S912 - 75$
3) NEXBOX A1 S912 - 72$
4) Xiaomi Mi Box 3rd Edition Amlogic S905 - 70$ [its the only one i found]
5) Beelink MINI MXIII II - 45$

Will help if in the recommendation can explain in simple words what exactly is bad/lacking/issue, since most of the specs on these devices is the same

Will be happy to receive a fast reply that way I will buy it today
Thanks!


Edit: Im not from the US so I cant buy from amazon, gonna order from gearbest or geekbuying unless someone can find a better site to shop in
Edit2: Go Seahawks! Smile

On your budget I would start with the Beelink GT1, overwrite the Kodi it comes installed with and replace with Kodi from the play store.

There is a lot of negative posting about low budget android boxes, but in my opinion they give you a lot of hardware for your $.

That should allow you to gain a lot of Kodi experience, if then you decide you want something better you can pass the GT1 to your parents.

If you can stretch your budget to include an air mouse I suggest you get one of these:-

Be careful, make sure you order the correct one as there are very similar looking remotes which are not as good,
