My friend and I have messed around with these. He is a big fan of them, I'm more lukewarm. One of my complaints was that the OS and driver support always had something wrong out-of-the-box. Tried with the provided Ubuntu image, also with Odrobian (its a debian build for odroid), always some random problem. 2D video acceleration worked but 3d didn't, or maybe 2D drawing was busted but Kodi would run at 60fps. Maybe the audio worked, maybe it didn't. It was almost always fixable with enough time and effort but eventually I gave up on them. Also build quality is a bit suspect, we've each had one or two of these things die on us. Ended up replacing it with an Nvidia Shield. On the upside, they're cheap and the metal case you can get for them is pretty cool. They don't run too hot and they're reasonably fast. For a while they were the only option with USB3
