Hi all,
Thanks in advance for your comments. I am looking at purchasing this HTPC http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Cheapest-...261.VgIfyT with 4 GB ram and 64 GB SSD - total $223 USD..
I will be using the device solely for Kodi and predominantly for streaming 720P and 1080p video (Netflix) and live streaming sport at 720p. I have no desire to stream 4k video.
Will this device suit my needs? Are there any better, cheaper alternatives? Currently using Amlogic M8S+ running OpenELEC which works for 80% of what I need but the CPU struggles at times (running well over 100%) with 1080p video and especially with live streaming sport.
Any feedback will be massively appreciated.
