Beelink M8 / S82 vs M8 Box (square)

[Lokie]

Yes, but I'm a little bit confused by the metal plate under the PCB at the round boxes too (not so bad like the upside down SoC+heatsink at the square box, but ...(we will see))

I'm sure that this to stabalise the box on a surface. These things are so small & light the cables destabilize them

No, not only, have a look at this picture

you will see the thermal pad and the 'pin' as/like a 'heat-bridge' (but don't ask me which heat from where)...

Yea saw that too - but that little pad underneath the PCB is not doing much. at most few %.
That is probably there for shock absorption I recon.

You can solder ufl connector on there as the pads are sitting there you can order from rs components and farnells

Do you mean something like this:

New S82 v3.0 board on its way!!

Good News Guys!

Just got off the phone with the factory (NetXeon). They took notice of the cap issue - the more the better. They designed a new S82 V3.0 PCB which greatly enhance the PSU circuit.
As a added bonus they will now include "MotionFlow (TM)" a 6 Axis Body Motion sensor so that you can now operate the box without using remote ad only with body gestures!!! Awesome!

This has to be the best post on this entire thread! (snicker, spelling is accurate too!)

You ROCK!

Thank you for the effort, much appreciated.

Seems all rounds are alike, well for now at least :-)

If you read a little bit, you could find out by your self, that all the round one are the same PCB / device...

I agree, apologies.

WoW, I readded the intire theads from botom ta top. I tink I is now edukated rale good.

Folks, there is enough testosterone floating around this thread to make sure every man in the world will have at least one good night,maybe two.

Now really? Was this whole thread about who does a better job of reviewing the XXD3B? Or who writes a better line of BS? Three fourths of the individuals on this thread, have no clue how to spell, write a complete coherent sentence, or know how to use a spell checker. Please note I said there is at least 1/4 who do, so don't get hot under the collar yet. I am sure before I am finished here you will ALL be P1$$3d off at me.

The set top box particularly XBMC related has enough issues on its own. You all know them. broken links, poor resolution, intermittent streaming, a setup that requires a GEEK, to complete. Uh uh, let me finish. Do you honestly believe that this technology can honestly call itself disruptive? Do you understand the term? When Sally (I don't do internet), Jones; Sam, (my secretary (!) does all my typing, Bossman), pick up one of these devices at the local Big Box, TV store, brings it home and sits back to enjoy TV from everywhere with a remote control that WORKS. Then you have something you can waste time being blowhards on. Until then you are sending this technology down a deep black hole.

Until then, how about talking about issues, problem, things that go bump in the night. Don't assume the Engineers in China or wherever will read what you have written so far, they won't. Their eyes will roll up in their heads as they move on to something more substantive.

Have you tried the new firmware? What version? What specifically failed? What did the new firmware break that worked before. What tests have you run. What problems are due to bad feeds, slow internet. Oh yes, what is your REAL (tested) internet speed? Are you using RJ45 or WiFi. What is your end to end LAN speed. Once you start talking this way, engineers will pay attention. Others will pay attention.

This may be deleted because someone may feel it is not relevant. That's fine. I tried.

Judge for yourself, my sentences are complete. My thoughts are defined. My spelling IS correct. OH yes,

What do I know about all this?

My resume tell us that I was employed by Atari when the 800 was being manufactured, Epson America hired me to assist in the design of their Equity series. AST Computers wanted an engineer to manage the Testing Laboratories for Desktops, Laptops and Servers. IBM asked me to launch Chicago. I wrote all my own, documentation and many magazine articles in my early life. appeared as guest speaker lecturer across the country in the late 80's. So yeah, I know what I am talking about.

I came to this site to discover others experiences with AMLogic based devices. I came here to learn from you! But with all the bickering and (R@p being written, I learned that many Geeks are still anal. Want to prove points, and can't take criticism.

So have at it guys, I have to get the knowledge somewhere. As Thomas Edison once said, "Now I know this dosn't work." Sounds like this site, huh?

Hope you don't take this thread serious? I don't as you can see from few posts back.
Really enjoyed your post. Nice to read something that is more than a sentence for a change. I think you could become a great reviewer you know?

You must realize that many responses to post are done from mobiles (like mine now) so do not be too hard on people. You do get used to it after a while though.
