I wouldn't bet on their Wi-Fi if it's anything like their previous model.

I have a Beelink MiniMXIII (got it for just under £25 a month ago) - was thinking the same after reading the earlier Mini M8S thread! Probably best waiting for reviews to appear.
2GB of RAM. not good enough in my opinion even for 30 quid.

Thought that 99% were 2GB Ram, even top end models?

You're commenting on an Android thread, not Windows.
Most Android media players have 1GB of RAM. The more expensive ones have 2GB. The NVIDIA Shield has 3GB of RAM but you pay more than £100 extra for the privilege (and of course, it's probably a tad more optimised software-wise though the Nvidia Tegra X1 chipset is well know for its own set of compatibility issues)
This is a stonking price for what it is, with Marshmallow and the 2GB of RAM. I only hope the WiFi issues with the original box have been ironed out in this version. I have that and apart from the WiFi and no HD on Netflix (common to all generic boxes), it still works perfectly.
Heated. Nice find OP.

Most are 2gb RAM. Should be more than enough to deal with media.

Depends what you are after doing with it? 2GB is more than enough for streaming in kodi. Main problem with these boxes is after sales support and firmware updates, there are some openelec builds out there for the 905 and hopefully libreelec soon. But they are unofficial.
