it's main features are Core M Cpu, wich is more powerfull and less power Hungry, but way more expensive than Baytrail Cpus ! 100 to 200 Usd more expensive to be honest, is 50% more power worth it? what do you think?
it also features a better Gbu and 4Gb of Ram !
To guarantee the tablet’s expansibility, the PIPO K2 offers a slew of ports and slots (a micro USB3.0 port, a micro HDMI port, a micro SD card slot and a 3.5mm audio jack).
pipo K2 comes with quite a heavy but complete Keyboard
When attached Pipo K2 looks like a Real Laptop
Although the screen resolution is only 1,366 × 768 the contrast and color controls are very good, this may have a good impact on the price and Battery life too
The Price will be of 400 USD in China and so 450 up to 500 USD for Overseas Countries is to be expected
which is still quite expensive comparing to The previous windows Generation,
The Main reason is that windows stopped subsidizing it's Cpus the same way it did last year ! meaning that the new Generation Cpus are 200$ more expensive for everyone.
What do you think ?
Will chinease Core M tablets make it ?
For me Pipo K2 seems to be an ACER Aspire Switch 11 Clone with way better Functionality and characteristics For Almost the same place,
Will these be enough to convince customers to pay that much for a Chinese Brand? Only time can tell .

Zidoo X6 PRO TV Box Review

Zidoo X6 PRO TV Box Review
​
X6 is certainly a very powerful tool for your TV/monitor. But is it powerful enough?
Don't rush it! Let's inspect it the right way. The package that we received is very elegant and it gives you a premium feeling. It's minimal design in combination with it's durability makes it the perfect packaging for any product.

As we walk our way inner we find the device itself, sitting in it's own carton box and further at the bottom we find the accesories box. There's the remote, the power adapter, the HDMI and all the paperwork. Again premium packaging.
Accessories
The remote control, has a great size and design. It's quality is far better than the majority I used. There's an issue for me on it though: As a PC user I'm used to a specific numpad, and that remote has a completely different numpad layout. It's frustrating. And another thing was bizzare, too: It didn't include 2xAAA bateries. I know, minor details, but they do make the difference. Also another thing is that you will find it difficult to actually write something. The best thing you could do, is to buy a cordless keyboard with bluetooth or WiFi.
Design
The X6 is made of aluminium alloy and plastic. It's design is just perfect: little, elegant, gorgeous. At the front there's the IR receiver for the remote's signal. At the left-side it has 2xUSB 2.0 ports and a Micro SD slot (it supports up to 32GBs). You can use one of the USB's as an OTG port. That transaltes to "you can power an external device from that" (such as a hard drive). At the rear side you can find: The Power adapter DC/5V, a CVBS port, an Ethernet, a HDMI 2.0 ( provides up to 4K resolution at 60fps) and an Optical connector.
Benchmarks and specs
It's packing an Octacore Rockchip RK3368 64bit clocked at 1.5GHz, 2GBs or RAM, 16GBs of internal storage, GPU SGX6110, built-in WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0, Ethernet and Android 5.1 Lollipop.
The RAM and the internal storage are more than enough for everyday use. Also the GPU performs real good for video streaming (up to 4K).
See the video for Zidoo X6 PRO's capabilities on video streaming, gaming experience and more.
The Rockchip RK3368 is a 64bit, Octacore chip and it's clock speed can reach the 1.5GHz per core (so Zidoo says so). I ran a few benchmarks with GeekBench and as it turned out it's clock speed were 1.2GHz instead of 1.5GHz. At average it scored 2,394 and 641 single core. It's a pretty decent score for a CPU clocked at 1.2GHz. Actually it scored better than the Snapdragon 615 @1.5MHz (2,371 overal & 638 single core).
During the benchmarks I figured out that when I had mouse & keyboard connected the performance got worse.
Conclusion
The Zidoo X6 PRO has surprised me very positively. It's performance in addition with the Android Lollipop and it's design makes it one of the top TV boxes out there. If you are looking for a powerful little machine with wonderful skills of camouflaging in your living room then the Zidoo X6 PRO is the way to go.
It's retail price on geekbuying.com is 88.45€ (or 99$). Buy it now here with free shipping.
Positives
+ Design
+ CPU
+ Android 5.1
+ Built in Google Play
+ Pre-installed Kodi Isengard
+ Better than cheap Smart TV
+ Value for money
Negatives
- 1.2GHz instead of 1.5GHz
- Remote control's numpad
- Doesn't include 2xAAA batteries
- 3rd party Youtube app

Does zidoo X6 support passthrough on kodi?

there's tons of lipsync issues with this product.

Let me know what you think

Jesus thats one big monitor.
Tv monitor xd.
That gaming setup. In my opinion, is a very very very very expensive, rgbed and overpowered setup.
All you have left is an RTX or smth.

So... you just sit in front of that massive screen? Can you even see the whole thing at once?

Haha, yes. Both monitors are on full articulation mounts (up/down, left/right, back and forward, tilt). They can stick out 2.5 feet or sit flush to the wall so I can move them around. I usually have the monitor further back than in the pic but I wanted to get as close a grouping as possible when I took the picture.
If the 43" is as close as it is in the picture then that is too big but when I put it back about 9 inches its perfect for me. My eyes are not that good so if I dont have my glasses with me I can still see

Nah, I dont really game. I play Forza from time to time. I just like the LED's and how they look. Lots of options with the Corsair lighting.

Hmm then it would be good for coding i guess.

Wow, love the screens and the overall theme of your setup. I've gradually warmed up to the use of so many LEDs in PC setups.

Looks neat, cable management is well done.
Now I do not like so much RGB, I would prefer to see what theme is your personal preference, but well that is a matter of personal taste.
The monitors are too big at for this sitting distance, I think you would have a nicer experience with 3 smaller monitors (not small just smaller), or doing a setup in which your monitor is set farther away, maybe with a couch in from of it, but still visible from your working desk, this would require a whole setup modification and changing the placement of your desk tho (I have seen this kind of setups).
All in all, neat as I said before, but think about the 3 monitor smaller monitors setup, I think that setup would make your work or gaming more pleasant.

Nice touch with the cards and the dice. Didn't you have any poker chips?
Is that humongous monitor really mounted on a single point? I really like two points, I don't like booble-headed displays.
The PC is nice and clean, but I always go for the minimum of wasted space.
There really should be a better scheme (in general) for the retention of the back end of PCI cards. The flippy clips are not really secure and don't do anything for the top corner.

Damn, that's spicy. Definitely a different build though, I don't have/use Facebook. Spooky for sure.

No poker chips but is a nice idea, might have to go out and get some.
I used to have a 24" 1080p display and since upgrading the monitor haven't gotten around to swapping out the arm from the little one I have there. It does support 27" but I want you get something beefier like you suggested.
Thanks for the feedback!

if you haven't already done so, can i recommend you try ctr 2.1rc5 to overclock your ryzen ?
my build has the same cpu, with 2x8gb b-die ram running at 1800 (3600)
the clocking software has 4 out of 6 cores managing to hit over 4.6ghz, with the weaker 2 hitting a mere 4.38 at peak, with maximal vcore never above 1.375v, and usually way less
runs ~ 10c cooler than the stock settings, and way faster
it's a beautiful thing...

Yeah, it's pretty quiet. I need to replace the back fan to match the others in the front as it's the only one I can hear and gets loud at the same rpm. Once I put my closed backs on I can't hear a thing.
