    I look forward to a proper comparison between the square and round devices (assuming the final prod version of the CS M8 is the same as the "beta" version being sold at the moment)

    thanks!
    I think it's not normal to change the motherboard or that should be a headache for the customers who bought the first version if some big changes are made. Anyway they can improve something if they really want.

It's not just speak, maybe most of final users don't know what is a ESD protection IC, a capacitor or how to dissipating heat with a heat sink (in hardware terms), but I know, so I can recommend one of them over the other after a deep motherboard revission.

    The square M8 box (Tomato) is not the same hardware as the Tronsmart or Beelink!
    It uses a different bootloader which means it's NAND chips and possibly other hardware are different!

    I'm going to compare both boxes and believe me, this hardware is "the cheapest version" of the Beelink M8...

    That motherboard is not as good as Beelink M8 (and other products based in same board).

    Let me some days... I'll show why
    I look forward to it, because I cannot see the difference apart from the bootloader chips and the m8 Is harder to get at the moment due to stock. but then again who am I to judge I don't even own any of them at the moment

    Eric can you confirm your stock has small hardware mods that Shenhzen Tomato are mentioning they have done to their units.for wifi wows

    make a hardware mod, drill a hole and put an antenna on it.
