If you need 3D MVC, yes. If not, there are better players (nVidia Shield TV, S905/905X w/LibreELEC, Chromebox...). As far as 3D MVC, best is still Intel h/w using @afedchin Kodi MVC build, with (IMHO) X9S/X8 coming in 2nd.

Ok so i dont need 3d, i am using my old gaming laptop right now but I could put it to better use, am I better off just staying with my laptop than buying a TV box

Non 3D Kodi boxes:

Best Android TV OS / Kodi device = nVIDIA Shield
Best Bang for the Buck for Kodi only = AMLogic S905 device running LibreELEC Kodi Krypton
