bought this for £24 from ebay with tracking last week, not touching gearbeast after screwed couple of orders and offered peanuts. If noob, stick SPMC or other flavour of kodi with many easy good addons. Got this for bedroom replacement, good bits:
# 2GB RAM, usually 1GB for this price range, you do not want to go back to 1GB like it was 2014
# 16GB internal flash storage, usually 8GB for this price
# Good(ish) name and build compared to 90+% of boxes, not hundreds of clones and skimmed clones of clones.
# Good cpu for the price
# Most boxes are basically dead OS wise and since there hundreds coming out now, custom ROM devs have basically stopped doing most boxes, what they do they often abandon as another box comes out next month. This is one of the few makers out of hundreds who does OTA (Over The Air: wifi or ethernet) OS updates. I believe for this box they already done 4. They also started a website and forum.
Once I get mine, might start an owners thread with links to resources for others. If someone starts an owners thread, I'll post there.
The next kodi is out as beta nightlies with new great interface.
The next generation of CPU from Amlogic is out due this summer but will be pricey in a few boxes till later with more, probably drop by January 2017 with some boxes to a good level. It is the S912 chip and it is totally reworking the architecture. It will be outstanding and cheap(ish), might get a S912 box in Jan 2017 for about for about £70 range, nearer a £90-100 probably this autumn at launch for the few launch boxes.

You get the tracking number from eBay listing, in myebay summary too, check and track on http://www.aftership.com . Takes a few days for it to appear, gives you a few possible couriers, once you know which after a few days, can bookmark it.
If by Chinapost and most other Chinese couriers, once in UK, can track on royal mail track_details page.

I control my own Addons but for New people as well as experiences kodi users I recommend installing the wookie flavour of spmc DBO187 linked on this page. You can watch easily lots of stuff.
Chromecast to be ditched? No, different beast, has it's own uses, fast YouTube etc. As does chromecast audio. Might want to get a remote controlled hdmi switcher box for tv, about a fiver on eBay, to switch inputs to the tv fast.
Remote control: For setting up android, Kodi etc I use a wireless flat pc mouse, couple of quid from eBay, get the fatter bulgy older flat mouse, tis good quality.
I've been using the vertical skin on Kodi for nearly 4 years. Was abandoned for a while and persuaded the dev to resume. with vertical can use basic minimal remotes such as the one shipped with this box, not mouse or airmouse or controller. And it's much much faster and easier to control Kodi with vertical skins. And now everyone realized what I been saying for four years, next Kodi skin by default is vertical. No more trying to hunt down the hotspot on the silly horizontal control strip, and then trying to drag it left or right. Unbelievable crap that lasted for years. I rarely use my expensive remote airmouse / keyboard
Game controller? Could go for a Tronsmart go1 controller on Amazon for about £12. Functions as mouse/airmouse too. T3 game controller is basically the same for about £6-9 on eBay.com (not .uk). Got a T3 there last week for £4 but sold out fast.
This box is New from a good(ish) New maker which do a range actually. This is the cheaper small cute model in their line up. Reviews and feedback has been good so far as opposed to most other hundreds of budget boxes, except a handful of more pricey quality names. It does not have a switch button or light. You can buy a remote controlled power plug on eBay for a few quid which can be used for other things too.
EBay seller others listed here seems to have stock left. These were £32+ till last Thursday, then a couple of big tv box sellers dropped the price to £24 but sold out fast, now one has stock again but running out again. If it sells out, search eBay.com for it and sort by cheapest every few days. If you see a seller on eBay selling android tv boxes for silly prices, they are a scam. Usually less than 300 feedbacks, been selling dollar tat (as seen in feedback) and suddenly selling electronics for less than factory gate prices. You'll get your money back after a couple of months when they get banned, but waste of time. EBay Seller linked in this thread by others is legit.
The code only works with the EU Plug option, but I'd assume you could maybe ask them to supply a UK plug at Checkout?

Lol. "Discount" code adds about £5 to the base price of £31 then deducts about £6. Still, it's better than other way round !
Shame it doesn't work on the UK plug option.

big bonus - device is rooted out of the box!
Shame it doesn't work on the UK plug option.
What is the bottleneck of this one va a slightly higher model?
