MXIII-G TV Box
The MXIII-G TV Box is a new Android mini PC powered by the Amlogic S812 chipset starting at just under $60. Whilst sharing similar specifications to devices such as the Beelink MXIII Plus, the MXIII-G does add Gigabit Ethernet for those with more demanding networking requirements.
It also features 8GB of internal storage, 1 or 2 GB of RAM (depending on the variant), Bluetooth 4.0 and 2.4GHz b/g/n Wi-Fi. Android 4.4 comes pre-installed, with the promise of an Android 5.1 update being released later.
The MXIII-G looks almost identical to its Beelink brethren, with the only noticeable difference being the “Gigabit” label on the top of the case.
The excellent Amlogic S812 chip powering it, this is a tempting option for those looking for a cheap media player who want something more powerful than the Beelink X2 or Tronsmart Draco H3.

One problem that I had with this tv-box was upgrading it with the latest firmware. OTA does NOT work. And the site box maker does not have a firmware update.
Inside the box, you get the MXIII-G TV Box, AV cable, HDMI cable, IR remote control, and a power adapter.
