Anyone know if the N2 or N2+ would support H266 later on when it gets released?
or we need to buy a new device again?

For the lean mean Linux based CoreELEC OS - 2GB RAM is plenty.

Especially for Bootup, Kodi Metadata scraping, Updating and .tar CE Kodi backups and restoration.

I think I will go with the 2GB version. If I'm correct, there is no reason to use Android instead of CE? Everything I need is in CE for movies, music, live tv. Using Android I would see lower picture quality, especially for Live TV, not?

Can I buy the C4 instead? Is there something that the N2 is better than C4?

People need to be be particularly careful because HardKernel have a lousy warranty last time I checked (if you bought from them). If you bought in Europe/UK from a European/UK retailer you may be better covered.
