          I still want to see some real video of this box running thru it's paces on your TV. I want to see the web surfing, Kodi playing different things and how does it pass Dolby via the HDMI.
          thanks.
          PS. I don't need a fancy video, just something quick and easy. I also, don't need all the technical details, just the meat of it.

            I've finally decided to order one unit , in replacement of a RK3188 box, but I'm a little bit afraid by the review of neowin:
            My main use of this kind of box are
            - Media streaming on my local network : seems to be OK, with audio passthrough
            - Emulator gaming (Mostly Retroarch on android) : Do you think this box will be powerful enough to run smoothly snes, genenis and psx emulators ?

            Thanks for your opinion / tests


            RK3188 is old, and the most secure chipset is Amlogic S812 for media streaming and emulator gaming, and I do not think Window system is a good one for TV Box,


            Cheers

              Having used many Android boxes, not a single one has performed as advertised out of the box and most don't even after a year on the market.

              This Windows one does and that makes a big difference.

              No rooting required to access all the facilities.

              All of the streaming services offered will automatically be available because there are no restrictions on Windows use like there is with Android, especially when rooted.

              Updates to the OS come through automatically and regularly, so no waiting ages in hope for an OTA update.

              Drivers can be added for practically anything, inside and out, often automatically by just plugging a device in and letting Microsoft do the work or via an easy to use installation method that just about anybody can follow.

              I can backup the whole device and restore it again with confidence that it will work.

              Far greater range of peripherals available.

              Far greater and wider support for issues.

              2160p Youtube resolution available out of the box where far too many Android boxes cannot access above 720p without custom fixes, with 1080p still being the maximum available for most.

              All that I have plugged in just works without concerns as to whether the AC adapter can supply enough juice.

              Perfect Kodi playback of all the things that I expect it to play.


              All this from the SOC at the bottom end of the X5 table, so with devices to come from the higher specced X5 and X7 range, Android devices are going to have their work cut out unless manufacturers pull their fingers out to ensure that products do deliver out of the box and with continued support.

              So far neither Rockchip, Allwinner or Amlogic have really stepped up to the plate and it has resulted in people buying multiple Android boxes, spending more to get little or no more.

              Add the Nvidia Shield into the equation and it shows that unless change is made on the Android platform by those that have been around in the market for a while then sales of those boxes may start to dwindle dramatically.

                Hello,
                Just received my Ara X5, has anyone found the way to enable "wake on lan" on this box ?
                Tried various settings in bios but without any success.

                  Finally got around to plugging mine in last night and so far im pretty impressed with it all. The box itself is def some quality hardware and as a whole it does seem more responsive then bay trail devices. One thing that doesnt seem better to be so far though is web browsing. Im still unable to find a way to load a site wiht a lot of images that scrolls smoothly but thats not really my main use for it so no biggy personally. Gonna have my review up on it the next day or two so will def share with you guys when its ready!

                    What browser are you using?

                    Are you connecting over WiFi at 5Ghz?

                    I found web surfing to be great in Chrome and Edge.

                      I finally got my new video camera delivered today, so you will see some videos by tomorrow of all the operations.

                      I also took my box round to a friends earlier and tested HDMI passthrough, which worked fine.

                          Great, looking forward to the video. I want to see web browsing as one of the items. Show us your input devices also. Thanks

                                Yes it works for me and that;s over WiFi, so ethernet, which I haven't played with much yet will throw stuff down even faster.
