    I was able to replace my Steam Link and Fire TV with this one device. Shield capable of 4k streaming, so I can stream 4k movies downloaded through PLEX with no issues.

    Snappy interface. Still getting software updates. I also use mine with no problems as a Plex server using media stored on an external drive plugged into my router.

    Worst part about buying a new system is having to buy a pricy game with it. Well, this comes with several and updates. The graphics are great too all for half the price!

    I love this device. However, I had purchased a couple of games, Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3, and after a software update by Nvidia, my USB stick is no longer recognized. I'm hoping that I don't lose all of my data if I ever get around to transferring it to a new USB stick.

    This product claims it has smart tech built in. It does but the update hasnt came yet. It's supposed to control Phillips hue lighting , have google assistant , and have other smart capabilities. It's now September and it came out in January. That's why I did not give it 5 starts other than that best smart box you can buy.

    This is compatible with so many things. If you're looking to cut out cable TV this will work great as it's compatible with so many apps, this is also excellent for gamers as well.

    Best streaming box hands down. The personalized feed at the top is a nice touch to recommend things to watch. Coming from a HTPC, this does everything I need in a much smaller footprint.
