I was looking at this when I suddenly realized I was drooling. And I don't mean a little bit, but buckets and buckets of drool.

Price is reasonable too

[bluesmanuk]

Does it have a price at the moment?

I could not see one unless bought in bulk.

An interesting retro design that reminds me of my 1980's hifi setup.

Good specs although I find myself wondering who would use an RS232 port.

Lets have a look at what is going on the inside of this HUGE beast
Remove front and cover and all is seen

[trebor]

Big Beasty of a thing had to set in a location bigger than the usual 150mm x 150 area
Working easy and well with BT Speaker.

Works OK with wireless keyboard/mouse, need the remote at times to do a coupla things

Been having a good play/fiddle discovery of the A10 as I do with most other media players...
Setup is much the same as others they have there UI and the Base Android UI underneath so should not get lost.

You can fit a HDD in side you can run one of the back with a cable thru Sata port or USB3 HDD caddy so lots of options to create a media server type of thing.

The Internal standard Media player (not Vidon) can just about do it all with ease.

Box is not Noisy fan not noticeable, you can set this Manually or Smart.

Bit short on USB ports, but easy with a four port hub if you need more.

Not sure if I would use the internal HDD caddy, most drives now 2.5 SSD and fast but if you have some kicking around why not.
I guess it depends on your use of this Media Player.
Not sure if the fan takes in consideration of the 3.5 HDD so things may get warm on a hot day.

And that display is Great, shows what's going on can be turned off via remote if it annoys, and shows some basic function of system, WiFi, Ethernet etc.

Many things to test not sure all will be done, As long as plays what I throw at its fine.
Most of my collection of 4k demos worked well, a few iffy bits may with sound or something in that are, using of a TV no Fancy Atmos system (yet) working on that .

So lets have a look at the UI and its much the same as the smaller A5 egreat also found in this forum

Easy to use with Remote found using Wireless keyboard/mouse as mentioned can be trying so remote on hand, just depends what you like to use.

This is were I had an issue using Keyboard to get to apps or the Menu function Pointy Down looking more thing
Need the remote press the down arrow actives lower Menu and you get more options to find and fiddle and add or goto all apps

[trebor]

Now back to Android a few options in settings to have a look see at
Some Benchmarks to follow

CPU-Z what's going on in the box





Benchmarks Ok...Ram appears a little slow if numbers are what you like I feel will do for most and with that look.
