Banana7 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 (edited) Anyone using a Minix Neo U9-H with a Minix A3 air mouse? Specs look good. How does it compare to the Nvidia Shield? Edited November 27, 2017 by Banana7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skippy121 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 it is not as good for playing games and anything that requires grunt from its GPU, If all you want to do is watch movies and TV, then the following boxes offer just as much power as the minix and support all the same standards. Fire TV box Zidoo X6 , X8 , X9 , X10 avoid anything with MXQ in the name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterw42 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 (edited) As others have mentioned the Nvidia is a gaming centric android box, the minix and other boxes are more media boxes. Its not really comparing apples with apples, different prices etc. As mentioned in other thread, I have Minix box and have set up a couple for friends and no big problems, I think once you get over a certain price point boxes will be similar specs performance etc. Edited November 28, 2017 by Peterw42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaseTheBass Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 I think I have one sitting in my spares drawer. It started getting a problem with dropped audio, so I got a Fire TV 2 which is much more solid.Neither the Minix nor the Fire compare with the Shield.Sent from my Cray II supercomputer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried no end of times to update it, but it made no difference. There is a Lollipop update, but not sure if its available OTA yet as the Fire TV works fine so I've not bothered with it for about 6 months.

SooKee Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 I have a U9 which was my favoured box until I went with the Shield, my reason for doing that was, no Netflix or Amazon Video in HD on the U9. If those services are of no interest to you or if running a multitude of other regular Android apps is important, the U9 is excellent IMO. The Minix air mouse remotes are great and obviously every button / feature of them is designed to work with their boxes. I plan to sell my barely used U9 when I get round to it. PM me if interested.
