I would wait for RK3399 based tv boxes to show up in the market since it's ready for production as announced a few weeks backs. Couple of Intel SoC developments are now cancelled, so not sure if Atom would have enough support going forward.

Kodi on the Vorke V1 looking ok just a small test and sample appears to to as expected with no Issues.
Easy to set up, found network easy and other bits as required, looking good.

Not sure, Kodi not my cup of tea, Plex Netfix all do as they should, may give it ago when I set up bigger drives with Linux installed instead of ISO, I imagine it would be ok.
Cheers

Look forward to more feedback.

A few more Test with 3DMark etc, this machine as we know does not claim to be a Games Unit so the scores don't reflect too much, but it can get buy.




And a little more hardware Info



As I have some parts around I will be Installing a Larger Internal Msata, 8Gb ram and a SSD, will make this unit perform.

It does show that far from dying out, as some have predicted following the withdraw of Broxton, Intel boxes seem to be thriving.

I find the Vorke V1 also a very useful Unit, as seen can update the mSATA, Ram and also add the HDD or SSD of the correct thickness, vga port bit of a waste but maybe handy for those in need
Robust little beast hardware looks good as well another Intel box to consider, pity they didn't start like this,
Cheers
