Design & Quality.
Design combines a crossbred between a 7 inch tables PC and a Set-Top Box. The box has excellent build quality and design. The casing is all made from metal materials, including bottom cover that’s also made from sheet metal. From looking at the base of you can see a small pad connected to the cover. From my guess, its maybe a type of heat conductive material to spreed all the heat outside.

Performance
From first impression device works very fast. Innormal “non heavy” operation without running apps or games that consume a lot of CPU resources, each core operates at clock frequencies ranging between 500-600 GHz. In more heave usage, CPU max peak speed that every single core can reach is 1.3GHz. Fornormal everyday usage its more then enough for running Windows Applications such as: OpenOffice, Games etc.
System
The product can run both operating systems, Android 4.4.4 and Windows 8.1/10.0. Switching between different OS environments, for example from Windows to Android is done by running “WinToAnd” App. Booting from one OS to another isn’t done instantly or “on the fly” and does take a few seconds until system completely loads.

XBMC/Kodi Support – Testing Under Windows 8.1 OS
According to my tests. Playing with my 60GB Samples that contain 2K/4K, Blu-ray samples Intel hardware runs Kodi 15.1 Isengard very smooth without lags or noticeable glitches, Performance is perhaps even better than current Amlogic S812 Soc Solution.
Final Words
Excellent Product for business, including home users that are seeking a cheap low cost PC solution. The product main advantage is its integrated 7″ touch panel that makes it very attractive and a nice solution for building a Windows / Android Workstation without a any need for additional external screen.
