Pros: Small, great XBMC over LAN. Price. Included brackets. USB3, HDMI
Cons: Unit gets very hot. After reading reviews I wanted to use this as a Windows Media Center with my TWC Cablecard service with a Silicon Dust HD Homerun Prime. The unit works great about 75% of the time. It will suddenly freeze up and become unresponsive during Live TV or recorded TV. It will also tear the picture on HD playback of live TV. XBMC playback worked flawlessly in HD or otherwise. No tearing or artifacting.
Overall Review: My goal was to use one low power box for all my media and use my other box for just Steam but i have moved my WMC and XBMC all back to the Steam box. With my Live TV playback issues and the heat generated this box just doesn't suit my needs. Unfortunately the return policy for this unit is exchange only so I will find a more traditional use for it.
Not Good
Pros: case zips up and screen is usable.
Cons: The pouch in no way connects securely to the bracket. It four slots that slide on but the do not secure in any fashion. This results in the pouch simply falling off.
Overall Review: I might try glueing it but i'm concerned that my expensive cell phone will simply fall off while riding.
