Contemplating the x96 air (ventilation issues?), a95x f3, vontar x3, would be happy to hear more options in that price range.
Hi, welcome.
Suggestion, at the cheap end of the Android market get something Android with great Firmware support + decently engineered hardware for thermal heat dissipation:

It's the reason why we have been suggesting the Ugoos X3 Cube (& included Wireless G20S or G30S Air Mouse remote) from Aliexpress or similar.
Because you can dual boot it for great CoreELEC Kodi use and also use this great Android TV ROM (click)
@clarkss12 might have more input if you want a regular Android Kodi box.
The only thing that puts me off buying one is the board layout, where USB sockets are on the front - could live with that, but why put the hdmi socket coming out of the side - hdmi is a big plug with a thick cable?
My preference to have a clean looking installation would be usb sockets on the side and all other sockets at the back.
Yes I'm hearing you.
I noticed that with the nice clean rear layout of the ports the ODROID N2+ has which is more like a NUC in it's packaging.
Really for regular cheap Android OS devices, you need to research over on the Freaktab forum for device internal pics & Firmware support and then go and read over on the CoreELEC forums to see what works, is popular and has the best online user help.
There simply are too many of those cheap China sourced Android devices to cover in depth here on the Kodi forums.
Having said all that the cheap X96 Air has good CoreELEC support and also good Android Firmware support in the form of the SLIMBox ROM's (click)
The X96 Air - 4GB RAM version should have Gigabit LAN
