      It's hard to compare them. This thing comes with 64Gb internal storage and OS, NUC doesn't.

      • asa79 on 29/01/2015 - 08:17

        Hdd is cheap and so is ram. Nuc is all intel components so is really nice fast and good after sales support

        Bulti in IR receiver that powers unit on from powered off state no need for sleep mode all the time.

        Is worth that extra amount especially if using as a media box.

    • heyimsu on 28/01/2015 - 23:03

      NUC will need RAM and a HDD. This one here is an all-in-one package.

  • musicinbed69 on 28/01/2015 - 23:04

    It looks small so may be prone to overheating, and how the (profanity) is it going to power 3 usb ports + it's own chip/cpu if it is only receiving 5v/2A of power?

    I've heard that the meegopad was slower than others due to only having a 5V/2A power input, so I assume the same issue applies here.

    • japik on 28/01/2015 - 23:21

      Not sure about the overheating issue but a usb powered hub would solve the power issue with usb hard drives.

    • ausmechkeyboards on 28/01/2015 - 23:24
      +1

      No chance of overheating. Also, chipset consumes less than 2W.

    • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 29/01/2015 - 00:07

      A keyboard and mouse will run fine on the USB ports. A USB hub may be necessary for any external hard drives with ac power.

    • bchliu on 06/03/2015 - 20:26

      I can say the unit does overheat a LOT.. typical temperatures run from about 76c idle up to 90c on 100% utilisation. too hot to touch under these circumstances. Maybe put some heatsink underneath??

      • bchliu on 07/03/2015 - 16:45

        After reading some forums, figured out that the design is pretty stupid and its almost an upside down approach. the heatsink and CPU is on the bottom of the PCB compared to the case but does not dissipate the heat enough this way. Flipping the unit around with the holes and underbelly up will take about 10c off. Blowing a small fan onto it gives another 5c as well. I am hovering around 55c on idle to a max of about 80c or thereabouts without slowdowns or CPU throttling anymore..

        • salem on 07/03/2015 - 16:48

          If there's vents on two opposite sides, it might be worth just mounting it sideways up against a wall or the side of the desk, so it can draw air in the bottom, up past the CPU, and out the top.

        • bchliu on 08/03/2015 - 01:02

          @salem: Unfortunately there isnt any side vents so that idea is no good. It really is strange that they had inverted the motherboard within the case though - as every good schoolboy will tell you that heat rises because of this, it will be much harder to dissipate through this design.

  • frondono on 28/01/2015 - 23:07

    Wouldn't the Pipo X7 be better as it has the newer chip but even though it has 32gb less storage

      • ausmechkeyboards on 28/01/2015 - 23:26

        I wouldn't say same performance. The Z3736F has a 2.16ghz turbo clock rate, whereas the other has 1.83ghz.

    • jackau on 28/01/2015 - 23:48

      I am still waiting for my 97 AUD approx. PiPoX7 to land and test it. :(
      it was delay in mail.

      However given I own one of those 8 inch tablets baring similar chipsets, I can say, it should do the job for what it design to be.

      This model is just another spin on the concept.

      Any one think they can use it as something for content development should pick an NUC and invest 3X the $

    Anyone know if this would do ok as a torrent/usenet box while running plex server to serve a smart tv and a chromecast?

    I've currently got an old PC doing the job while doubling as a file server.

    I'm thinking of replacing it with this and a NAS.

    • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 29/01/2015 - 08:19

      Yeah, it should be able to do it as it's a Windows 8.1 PC. I know that popular torrent programs and the plex server client runs fine under Windows 8.1.

      the description says it has ethernet, but for the life of me i can't see it in the pictures. without ethernet, i wouldn't use it as a plex server. unless your WAN is awesomely fast.

    • asa79 on 29/01/2015 - 18:49

      10/100 nic might be a little slow for plex to multiple devices

      • DarKBlooD on 30/01/2015 - 13:51

        Better to use this as a client rather than a server.

  • ywpn on 28/01/2015 - 23:46

    Windows 8 with Bing - I thought this was only for laptops, and tablets smaller than 9"?

    • daerka on 28/01/2015 - 23:54

      Definitely not just for laptops. Lots of mini-PCs around now, like this one, which come with 8.1 with Bing. I think it's devices up to a certain value.

      As for the VOYO Mini PC, is that 10/100 Ethernet a typo, or does it really not have Gigabit?

      • scotty on 29/01/2015 - 08:49

        From the photos I don't think it even has an ethernet socket.

        • salem on 29/01/2015 - 09:23

          unless it come with a usb/ethernet dongle? but yeah, without wired ethernet it'd be a rubbish media server. might be ok as a client if the wifi is strong and clear enough.

        • daerka on 29/01/2015 - 22:01

          Ugh! You're right, it doesn't.

      Definitely better looking than the Pipo X7. Don't think I'd get either though. Would be different for under A$100.

  • bchliu on 29/01/2015 - 00:30

    I like this - but was not impressed with their previous product (the Mini tablet) and had a number of manufacturing issues. Wondering if I should pull the trigger or not on this.

  • samboread on 29/01/2015 - 07:53

    anyone know whether this would run plex and be able to encode HD?

  • muncan on 29/01/2015 - 08:19

    How would this compare against the Pipo X7 for US$128.12 delivered?
    It only has 32GB RAM, but also has an AU plug, external antenna and ethernet socket.
    I'm also interested in using either as a Plex box.

    • salem on 29/01/2015 - 09:25

      plex server or plex client? the pipo actually has an ethernet port, and it's cpu and gpu are very slightly higher clocked than the one in the voyo.

      and the pipo comes in black, which would look nicer in an AV cabinet if you're wanting it as the plex client.

      • muncan on 29/01/2015 - 09:33

        A Plex server (and client?). My ReadyNAS isn't powerful enough to host a Plex server. It's sounding like this may be more suitable, depending on transcoding capability. Ideally I'm looking for a small/quiet BoxeeBox/TiVo/Blu-Ray/AppleTV all-in-one replacement, but prepared to sacrifice on components of the price is right (e.g. add USB TV card/Blu-Ray).

        • salem on 29/01/2015 - 10:07

          Best option is to have players that can natively play your formats so Plex doesn't have to transcode. This box or the pipo would be good enough to play most 1080p content natively in a variety of formats.

          Edit: although this box only has WiFi n and no Ethernet so unless you have a ridiculously strong and clear WiFi signal it'll struggle as server or client, just because of the limited bandwidth.

        • muncan on 29/01/2015 - 11:33

          @salem: Thanks for your advice. The Pipo with ethernet sounds like a better option for me. Cheers!

    • lplau on 29/01/2015 - 12:51
      +1

      Windows 8 with Bing doesn't come with a CoA.
      Microsoft gave them to the manufacturers for free (on certain devices) or small fee (on other devices) so they can level the playing field between Windows & Android.

      There is a criteria for devices which can have Windows 8 with Bing.

      For the end user there is no difference between a Windows 8 and Windows 8 with Bing.
      For a manufacture the only difference is that they cannot change the default search engine of IE to anything other than Bing.

    • McFly on 29/01/2015 - 12:52

      OS: Windows 8.1 with Bing (activated)

      (Maybe through the BIOS?)

      • lplau on 29/01/2015 - 12:54

        Windows 8.1 is activated slightly differently. It doesn't only rely on Bios anymore due to the bios hacks that were available for Windows 7 (SLIC based + Certificate).

      But if you don't get the package until the middle of this month ,free to let us know and the shipping company will help you investigate it .hope it can be ok for you .

      Besides ,we found you open the dispute and we hope you can close it ,you will get the package soon .
      Hope you can receive the package soon .
      Anway we will try our best to help you .

        You sent it out on the 24th January ONE month after I ORDERED IT!!!!

        • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 04/02/2015 - 22:32

          Sorry we made a mistake. Your order was actually sent out on the 24th of December, not the 24th of Jan. The tracking number says that it was on the way to Australia on the 21st of Jan. For free airmail it's common for the tracking information not to be updated as often compared to express post or a courier like TNT. Shipping times depend on various factors including holidays season like Christmas in this case and weather.

          Geekbuying is sorry for the long shipping and we will try our best to help you out further. You can contact the customer service on [email protected].

          On a more personal note. I'm in Australia and my packages ordered late December last year only arrived last week. This is because it was Christmas with Auspost admitting that they were behind on packages by 2 weeks and because shipping may take up to 30 days after the order has been processed.
