I am an Expert Technician, Usually I modify the hardware to suit my needs. Means I fix it or I improve it.
EXPERT Technician: I have not bought or owned the product as of yet. I am an expert in computers and I build computers, I also solder take apart memory chips on motherboards and I know how to upgrade electronic components due to my 25 years of experience. So the key thing yours looking for is the latest Android Operating System Which most technicians talk about usually called &#34;OS&#34; another focus is the &#34;CPU&#34; That's the Brains of the whole box and if not done right at the factory and solder right can cause malfunctions which are not unheard of if they are doing rush jobs. So yes there can be a chance you get a Factory defected box which comes to the next important thing to look for. &#34;CAN YOU RETURN IT WITHOUT PENALTY&#34; Pay the extra warranty even if its a bit crappy at least you get your money back or replacement or better. Now the next most important thing to look for is the Frames per second for 4k! This one will run 60fps which is way better than 30fps (Frames Per Second &#34;FPS&#34;) So I have noticed most old android boxes only have 2gig memory and this one has 3gig memory which is really really fantastic, what would even be better if this had dual 4 gig memory but then it becomes an Intel motherboard lol which this is not. In Conclusion The memory alone is what will cause lag when multi tasking, Such as running 4k then trying to do another process and using a wireless keyboard and streaming into the memmory all are process that is working at the same time and for it all to work it needs RAM memory not HARD DRIVE DISK MEMORY which is completely seperate, Hard drive also known as SSD drive &#34;Solid State Drive&#34; also known as SD card or USB drive are all storage drives that hold your movies or photos and some apps which you can connect to the box or dongle it if it has the capability like the amazon Fire Stick does. Overall there are youtube videos that will teach you how do add more hard drive space for your digital home movies. I hope this helps you to understand what is better and what is older and not so great! make sure that the Android box you are buying can handle ANDROID 8.0 which will be released very shortly in 2018 which my Samsung S8 PLUS already has installed.
