There was no audio lag (that I could tell), and the video play was really smooth no matter which app I tried. I also really loved that I was able to connect my Bluetooth over-ear headphones and watch TV in bed without disturbing anyone. This make for a great media center or home theatre PC. I love the fact that I am able to use a microSD card, as well as browse my home network for any SMB servers that contain files that I want to watch. The two different “settings” apps give you a larger view of the same Android settings, most likely for it to be a little bit easier to see on the screen. This Android mini PC came with Android Jelly Bean 4.2, but I was able to easily update it to 4.2.2.

I then connected to my Google account and downloaded a bunch of my favorite video apps, such as Netflix, DramaFever, HBO Go, YouTube etc.Īs you can see in the screenshots, the Android mini PC comes with a few stock apps, which include some settings apps, video, and audio apps. Once it was connected to my TV, it booted up within 10-15 seconds, and I was able to connect to my home WiFi network.

I could have also used the included USB adapter with an outlet. I was then able to use the built-in 5V USB port on my TV to power the mini PC – just enough to power it up. To test the unit, I connected my Logitech K400 keyboard (which has a built in trackpad), and the microSD cable that it came with. Conveniently, the HDMI port used to connect to your TV or monitor is built right into the stick!
