Android mini pc?

Have you got one?

I have an Android STB. With a keyboard and mouse connected, it's pretty much the same thing.

Got it to use for media (XBMC mainly) in the living room. Didn't like it. Too glitchy. It's been relegated to the spare room now and replaced with a custom built HTPC instead.

Besides, I'm not sure that "mini PC" is the right term for anything running Android. Regardless of the form factor.

The Rockchip RK3188 is pretty impressive in this regard.

Not only does it work well with the test build of XBMC, but with a quad-core 1.8GHz processor it's capable of displaying 720p at full frame rate in software decoding mode. In hardware mode it's very swift indeed.

These little devices are improving all the time, but you need the right one and a little patience to get the best out of them.

Bought mine direct from China for £30.

I've got the Rikomagic MK802IV. It works quite well but you've got to have a decent power supply (2A output (supplied in the pack)) for everything to work right. Using a USB power supply will cause it to reboot all the time.
