I've ordered one of these... anyone else ordered (or got one)?

Couldn't see the point of the MeegoPad when it has no LAN port.

I have ordered CX-W8 from aliexpress. When i get it i let You know.

I have Tracking number of the parcel. It is real and trackable.
But this MiniPC goes with trial windows 8.1.

For a first generation of (box low cost window), I decided bought me, one of the cheaper box.

- VOYO Mini PC = USD 128.99 ( there is a battery, I do not like, I think it is a tablet without a screen )
- MINIX NEO Z64 = USD 174.99 ( too expensive for a first generation )
- PiPO X7 = USD 129.99 ( I have doubts on this box )

I bought, Sunchip CX-W8 = USD 95,00 ( same characteristic as MINIX NEO Z64, but with dual band 5GHz ).

I will take pictures of the interior, if I receive and give my opinion.

I have doubts on cx-w8 has dual band. Chinese lie often.

[Moulin1980]

hi Zloikefir, if it is not dual band, it does not matter, for the price, the box is the cheapest.

When there is a new SOC, with more options, i' bought a brand ( minix or others ).

To have doubts, much buy the cheapest.

That is, for this too, I bought Sunchip CX-W8.

Well it won't be long before we see Cherry Trail boxes with better graphics s0 the CX-W8 will do for now

[Moulin1980]

Thanks Methanoid, for the news.

we will see, may be, a box (windows/android) with Cherry Trail, around June or September, as usual.

hopefully we, to a Sub-Forums/Threads for Sunchip CX-W8.

requested, at Finless or no-spam-for-me, when we have the Sunchip CX-W8.

Hi, I still cancel my order of (CX W8 Wintel), i had to wait too long.

Why, Chinese stores, not reported, Product not in stock ?

Now, I'll wait for that the Chinese stores, reported that they have products in stock.

Beelink Intel TVPlayer with Hard Disk 2.5, looks interesting,

but we will have to wait until after the Chinese new year (20 February).

Ask them before ordering if they have stock.. some do....

So where is the link for the Beelink?

Sunchip
Find attached image of internal PCB looks much same as others regarding heat.
Info I received there has been a change and no longer has 5g WiFi new model
will be using RTL8723BS more compatible with dual O/S.
Casing looks like one can improve cooling

Also now is not a good time to buy from China with Spring Holidays coming.
Things will be slow for the next few weeks.
But be prepared for an onslaught of New products when its over.
