Pros & Cons

Bt mouse works fine if you need to use trad android apps. Use sideload launcher to show any apps that don't show up in your app list. App is the find the remote voice or phone app command.
Cons
What was supposed to be 4 player, 4k, family lounge room fun is an exercise in disappointment. Great for streaming, useless as a usb media player. The reome control is almost unusable. It is so annoying as it easily make your tv goes to netflix.

The addition of dolby vision has increased movie quality and i still cannot recommend this product line enough!
The ai upscaling and transcoding capability is also unmatched.
Price
10/10 would recommend even with the price premium.

Very pricey but you get what you pay for.
Would be nice if it included an hdmi cable but oh well, got it for a decent price and am happy with it.

2 day delivery from order to door.
Competitiveness
Believe the hype, this is better than any other streaming box you have ever used or looked at.
Its clearly the winner when compared with apple tv 4k.
I've recently tried a firestick and chromecast w/google tv and i hate them both in comparison.
This cannot be overstated compared to fs (yes, just using one again setting up for friend, ugh).
