Another new gadget purchsed – Android TV Box

Thanks to Ozbargain on this one, a $50USD android TV Box

Just picked up one of these Tronsmart R68’s at http://www.geekbuying.com, youtube unboxing here

Some thoughts as to why I purchased

• cost – $50 USD, actually a rare occasion where it’s 1/2 price
• it’ll be able to run Windows 10 (lots of speculation, Rockchip are releasing SDK’s for the 3288 chip)
• it runs KODI (apparently)
• Cortex A53 Processor – some interesing info here
• PowerVR G6110  Series 6 XE graphics / GPU – the same series as used in the Apple A8 Processor (uses a GX6450)
• it’s quite fast – Antutu Benchmark V5.7 gives a score of 32338, easily in the top 20 for android devices right now
