When watching movies/TV with Kodi it does not get as hot thankfully, and performance is fine all around. This is still adequate for basic gaming, but plan to keep this TV box in an area with decent airflow as it gets very hot to the touch under load. Throughout the remainder of the test it jumped between 75 and 100% performance. The S905 processor is blazing fast, but does it ever get hot! I ran the Antutu stress test, and after a couple minutes it began to throttle itself to 75% performance. At least the USB ports powered a small hard drive, a keyboard and a mouse without issue. That means any external peripherals connected will use up one of two USB ports. The box only has 2 USB ports and no Bluetooth. In terms of build, it’s plastic, but it feels well built. I would highly recommend the 2GB ram version of this model for this reason. Out of the box, without any additional apps set up or installed, it was consistently using 60-70% of its memory. The box works great for KODI and other TV playback, but is limited by its storage space and ram. Right away it’s worth noting that 1GB of ram is going to be a big limitation of this box, and with only 8GB of internal memory a separate micro SD card will be required to store any movies. Price at time of review: $29.00 (No Keyboard), $44.99 (With Keyboard)

If those things aren’t deal breakers, this kit is a good basic Android box for streaming movies and television. The only concern I have is that it gets quite hot and there is no Bluetooth built in. Summary: The A95x TV box has decent performance at an economical cost, and this package includes a nice keyboard/trackpad combo to add. Excellent keyboard/trackpad combo included.Wi-Fi is stable and LAN port works fine.Micro SD port to expand internal memory is easy to load card in/out of.Android UI allows installation of most android apps and custom launchers.Fast processing speed for applications and user interface.
