Not really comparable as M8S uses previous generation S805 / S812 chips & has less featureset than provided by OP that has latest-gen S905. Also not aware of any M8S that has 10bit x265 capability unlike all S905, regardless of RAM.

Good point, but why have the latest cpu and not enough ram to run smoothly anyway? Makes no sense to me personally.

I agree, it looks ok for the price. But I have tried a few other so-called 4k boxes (with more RAM) which aren't so great. I have a 4k LG TV which streams the 4k content from Amazon/Netflix but stupidly won't handle the HEVC-265 codec direct from a file - moronic! So I want a box that can simply do that. Not much to ask really? The Amazon Fire 4k can do it well enough but at £70 I'll wait until LG get their lame ass fingers out and do a firmware upgrade one day (yawn)

All of the S905-based boxes I have used have handled local x265 without issue via Kodi (16), inc 10-bit x265. MXplayer was my previous preferred local file player but it struggles with 10bit x265, hence now use Kodi. One of the cheapest S905 boxes is around £27 delivered ex-UK. OP item seems decent price for usual s905 spec with known branding.

Dito. Really annoying that they don't pay HEVC, would like to condense my library and bandwidth.

I believe one of the greatest challenges to these boxes is 10bit x265 playback, for which my generic S905-based box with 1GB RAM is flawless. I don't feel the need to match the 2GB RAM of my S812 box. I assume another demanding application may be gaming, but I can't comment about any potential benefit of 2GB on an S905 for gaming cos I don't use any Android box for games.
