Feel free to buy cheap though, but you will buying again very soon because you will have chucked the box in the bin in sheer and utter frustration when you have nothing but problems with it....
Spent 70 on a box about 6 months ago and works perfectly fine, feel free to overpay for something.0 -

Its also absolute rubbish that you constantly write off every brand of box bar two.
I agree there is a lot of overpriced tat for sale but there is also a decent range of mid priced boxes to be got that do a perfectly good job.
Its just a case of doing a bit of research and reading reviews that are available in abundance0 -

True, there are other reputable boxes, Beelink,Nexbox & Tronsmart to name but a few. Some reviews state that the Nvidia is overkill unless you're gaming. Those who think that the Minix and Nvidia are the way to go have probably had a bad experience with some rockchip device,(as I had), and subsequently wrote off everything else.0 -
The reason I recommend Minix is from personal experience - have loads of friends and family who have them and never had a problem. Same goes for the Shield, although I would definitely agree that it can be overkill if you are not into gaming.
At the end of the day, I would prefer to pay the extra for a hassle free product that both works and lasts. On any forum or people I've chatted with, it's the people who buy the cheap boxes who have problems. I mean, have you ever seen anyone with the Shield or Minix complain? Just look at the users on this thread alone who have nothing but praise for them. That goes a long way in my book....
(Just for full disclosure: I originially thought that I had a problem with my Minix, but it turned it out to be a crappy ISP. Once I changed my service, it's been nothing but perfection! Happy out.
