I was really annoyed for a minute because i thought the price had dropped by £40 since i ordered a couple of weeks ago but i ordered the quad core n3700 (passmark 1898) version, having been using that for the past few weeks with windows 10 and kodi i would be quite concerned that the dual core n3050 (passmark 882) might be unbearably slow for some tasks. obviously depends what you want to be doing with it.
A few other points for anyone looking to use this as a kodi box, particularly under windows:
1. Under windows the is no support for HD audio HDMI passthrough - very annoying, this is an intel driver limitation, the hardware is capable and i believe it will work on linux.
2. This will hardware decode h.265 MAIN profile, it will not decode MAIN 10 profile which is becoming more popular. at 720p it might manage in software but at 1080p not a chance. (im talking about the n3700 here, the n3050 probably doesn't have the power to do it even at 720p).
Obviously for a lot of people this probably isn't going to matter but i thought it was worth mentioning.

Good price. Just a shame there is no lan port built in or i would have one for kodi.

Best source of info for it I found so far is this at Amazon.com - Linky - ideal spec for Kodi/Openelec - but it's not passive and the reviews are mixed. I'll wait on a deal for a Beebox :smiley:

NOPE! .. 'FREE' DOS, as in 'WITHOUT CHARGE' DOS!! .. NOT 'MS' DOS, as in 'PAID FOR' DOS ..... lol.
Open DOS is capable of supporting beyond the 2GB limit/limitations of that of what MS DOS notably stopped at anyway?, what can I say .....
Though yet, it kind of would have been nice for them to have stuck on Windows 8.1 Bing on these at least, I guess?. :-)

Think it's to exploit a loophole vs coming with no OS.
