Specific needs for a box

[Guest]

Hi All,
So I return to this awesome community for some advice.
I have a non-tv use, I'll be running browser based digital signage on the box and I am looking for recommendations.

Software:
Android 6 or above
Should not freeze/crash etc - stability is the most important factor
Should auto power on after a power failure (most boxes do these days I believe)
Root required.

ideally less than 4"x4"x2" in dimensions (the box will sit an enclosure)
At least three USB ports (I can use a USB hub) ideally on the front & back
2/16 GB is ideal
wifi AC 2.4 & 5 GHz is ideal but I could work with Wifi N too - antennas must be inside or rotate 360 degrees
gigabit LAN is Ideal but I can work with 100/10 too
HDMI & CEC is a must.

Ideal price range ~$70ish.

The closest one I could find is this https://www.amazon.ca/T95Z-Marshmall...ct_top?ie=UTF8
but the size seems too big and the price is a concern too though not as much.

Please give recommendations

What kind of use will it get?

24/7?

What kind of front end signage app will you be using?

Ideally yes 24/7 - but we are looking at those timer devices to put it on a timed operation, the minimum will be about 16 hours a day.

Signage is really just a web page opened in kiosk mode so the scroll bars aren't visible, we will be attaching an arduino + 20 leds, a USB keypad and a usb receipt printer and hence the need for usb ports.

I will just add that the unit you are looking at does get warm as it is a fully closed unit,
But if you handy with a drill and a small usb fan (laptop cooler) may be OK for you and purchase a local power pack 5v 3amp to suit.

Hello,

An good advice for that will be the X96 TV Box.
Some client I make an digital signage ROM for use this box since 6 month without any problems.

The pro:

Android 6
Good Wifi
Little Device
Ethernet

Overall this device running good.
