Vorke V1 Giveaway [Sponsored by Geekbuying]

[cpfreeplz]

I'm really hoping that I win this because my Vega S89 is on it's last legs. It's crashing more often than usual and is going very slowly. Geekbuying ended up getting another one sent to me after my first one arrived DOA. I hope I get a shiny new Android box =D
Thanks for the contest!!

[stillsomber]

Why? If I enter enough of these competitions, maybe I'll win one one day. But seriously, I have never won a giveaway ever. It would be to win something like this, so I can finally stop using the router as a media server

Box Wars: Episode III – The Perfect Mini PC

Once upon a time between the borders of the Milky Way there was an avid movie and music fan, whose sole purpose was to enjoy his media the way it was meant to be. From Tarantino to Scorcese and Pink Floyd to Queen, he couldn’t help himself but wonder – how would it feel to be part of a brilliant movie scene or standing next to his favorite singer on stage? This thought could not escape his mind...

So he went on a journey into the realm of TV boxes to find his perfect match, the only one who could fulfill all of his desires. His first love was an unlikely one: they met on a cold winter night in the eastern part of Europe in a common electronics store. He wasn’t looking for her, but there she was, standing on the shelf with DVD players. He saw her and then he slowly walked towards her. All the technical specifications in the world didn’t matter at the moment. And then they thought – why not give it a shot? He came home with his brand new Minix Android TV box and the next one year was like a fairy tale. Problems were nonexistent and his experience with it was nothing short of great. All apps he regularly used worked like charm. Buttery smooth playback, stable Wi-Fi with excellent signal, fast quad core CPU and a NAS-full of media. What more could he ever want?

But one day, there was an unexpected rift in their relationship. It was an ordinary summer day, the birds were still singing and children were playing soccer in the park nearby. He just got back from work and decided it is time to try that new video format, what was it called? A-ha, a H.265 video file. Because his colleagues with media center PC at their homes told him it is superior to H.264. And so was the truth. So he put it in the download queue and waited for like an hour. Then he went to his beloved box and pressed “Play” on his remote. He waited for a minute, but it seemed like eternity. Cold drops of sweat rolled down from his forehead and after that - another two. The box reacted. It uttered those five, terrifying for every video and music lover, words:

“Can’t play this file.”

Sudden moment of shock. His heart in his throat, he went to his computer and typed on the keyboard

“cant play H.265 solution”

In this very moment, their connection ceased to exist. There wasn’t hardware decoding support for H.265 on this TV box. He already knew this relationship is doomed and could not continue. Not a single week passed by and the box was already gone. Brokenhearted, this gave him no choice - the Great Search was on again.
He rearranged his priorities and put on top of the list

“H.265 hardware decoding”

He wasn’t ready to splash the cash again, so he considered some cheaper alternatives. In the meantime, his CNX-software RSS subscription alarmed him about a new article. There was a review posted about a new box by Beelink with an Amlogic S905 CPU – the Mini MX. The hardware potential was there, but the software was still at a very early stage. This little black box quickly became his new interest. He couldn’t stop thinking about it through the day and dreamt about it through the night. It was obvious what would follow from this new situation – he opened a new tab on his browser and loaded ****.com into it. Then he proceeded to search for a top-rated seller who would provide him with his dream TV box. And then clicked on the big, blue button that said:

“Buy now”

The wait for the new sweetheart from China was a long and epic one, but our hero did not lose faith and checked his mail box every day before work. 23 days later his lucky day finally came. An unreadable postal notification with the word “China” on it made him smile. He ran to the post office with the speed of light to pick up his beauty. He couldn’t wait to get back from work to play with it.

At the evening he started to breathe again. The grass suddenly became green and the sky smilled at him with its fluffy clouds from above. The long awaited new beginning was finally here again. Life continued at its usual pace and its previous harmony was restored. The new TV box worked flawlessly with every audio and video format he could throw at it. Wi-Fi was not perfect and automatic refresh rate switching didn’t work, but he knew that every rose has its thorn and was patient enough to wait for an OTA update to solve those issues. After all, she was a in a new surrounding and problems were to be expected at first.

The OTA updates started rolling one by one, every two weeks. But none of them seemed to solve either one of those issues. At his 23^rd birthday his friends and collegues from work presented him with a brand new AC router and an external USB 3.0 hard drive to complement his new TV box. He then realized an important fact – it didn’t support Wi-Fi 802.11ac, nor USB 3.0. This was a big problem and the box was soon retired to the bedroom, next to the 32’’ LED TV. His search for the perfect TV box had to continue.

But one week after this decision, something unbelievable happened. He saw a thread on Freaktab - his favorite Android device forum - about a giveaway of a TV box with incredible technical specifications – the Vorke V1. The kind folks at Freaktab and Geekbuying offered a lucky user the chance to win one of these incredible machines. A powerful Intel CPU with a low TDP, which is a significant upgrade to the Cherry Trail platform, 4GB DDR3L RAM at 1600 MHz – just enough for a casual user - and a ton of fast storage, along with an option to expand it significantly and dual-band AC Wi-Fi (which meant that he could properly use his AC router), USB 3.0 ports (external HDD at USB 3.0 speeds) and gigabit LAN for less than $200 with a Windows 10 license included? Even Linux runs on top of it. This tiny desktop computer deserved a proper review! In this moment, the hero of our story felt like never before - every single detail about this device just ticked the right boxes and filled his soul with deep enthusiasm He didn’t want the Vorke V1, he CRAVED it and soon realized that if paradise had another name, it had to be Vorke. The perfect mini PC.

Excitement and joy dispersed in the surrounding air. The whole Galaxy felt the presence of this incredible force. The search was finally over.

May the best win ! Have Fun !

Hello, I am new membru of FreakTab and will apply for Win a Worke V1.

I consider that the minipc's are the future of domestic PC.

Curenttly, people are in transition to smartphones. Logically, the minipc's are pairs for smartphones.

The Age of classic desktop PC seems to be finished. Because, the economique feature and the dimensional feature are leaders in the reasons of the buyers.

Wow, this thing looks really great. Why wouldn't anyone want one of these. I've had one of the first android boxes and looking for something new. This could really be the thing! Certainly want to give it a try!!

[Krzywon]

I have bought a number of items from geekbuying and all arrived in a reasonable time. I had a mixed luck with the item quality. Most were OK, as presented, but there were exceptions like for example mini TV stick 808 - which never worked as promised. I tried to reinstall firmware I got from the seller (geekbuying), but it did not install correctly, even that I did exactly performed it according to procedure advice. No further reinstall or update was possible - so it was bad luck. That unit had very poor WiFi, and stopped responding very quickly. Too expensive shipping from Australia back to Chine to claim faulty item. The next, more expensive model 809 (Tronsmart) is better and still operational. That was one of the many mini stories.

I tried some Andoid boxes to make present for my mother. But all boxes I was tried was not so good and so easy for mom. She knows Windows and may be this Vorke V1 would be nice for her.

I've been struggling with the Xiaomi MiBox. I went through a ton of trouble just to get English and Gapps installed on it ... and then it stopped working. Since then, I've scoured the net for custom roms for it and I've been doing my research, reading up on posts and more. If people would be so kind as to alleviate my troubles, my wife and kids would greatly appreciate it (since they use it so much more than I do but I have to deal with all the problems!) Sigh, life as the technical resource of the house.

Great Giveaway. I always try to participate in this events, it's a nice way to get in touch with new devices in case of a victory. I have tried a Windows TV box before and i most say that it really surprised me, things just worked out of the box. With this box things should work even better and for sure longer, since that with this specs it will have support for a couple of years.

I should win so that i could watch the future games of the rightful soccer European Champions PORTUGAL everywhere i decided and problem free.

I wish all good luck.

I would definitely like to win this micromachine.

Why I think I should (read: I would like to) win it: My friend runs a small bar. Emphasis on small. There are two really ancient midi-towers - one running the music player, one running the cash register. With its multi-monitor capabilty, this gadget could replace both, making room for 6+ bottles more. Saving around 180 watts of power, this would also make for cooler drinks.

Why a community might be interested in me winning it: I'd put it on Linux, thus you would get a thorough Linux-on-this-gadget review and some hacking, if necessary.

Of course, this is a poll. Thanks for giving the chance to all of us interested.

[Vintel7]

I like it. Vorke V1 equipped with new generation CPU. I can upgrade RAM, install SSD inside and old HDD via external HDD enclosure.
In addition, I can use Vorke V1 in hot August without any problems, because it equipped with built-in fan.
Good luck, everyone.

[moha pidro]

I would really like to win this machine because it looks like a very cool device and because i love new technologies

[bluesmanuk]

Good luck to those who have to judge.

Should keep you busy for a while

[neomode]
