Amazon Fire 4K gen 2

This is here for anyone interested as I have recently bought 2 boxes.
I bought the T8V4 from here :
I have also bought a Amazon fire tv 4K box from pcworld.
Both devices run kodi very well and both are have supported firmware updates ( no problems with installing kodi 17 so future proof for a while ) .
Now this bit is interesting
ANTUTU BENCHMARK performance on these two boxes has SHOCKED me.
The T8V4 from entertainmentbox 29534 AFTS SCORE​
The T8-S from DroidBOX 35175 AFTS SCORE​
The QBOX 30203 AFTS SCORE​
The Amazon fire tv 4k box 53245 AFTS SCORE​
The T8V4 , QBOX both run with S905 chipsets where as the T8-S has the S815 chipset. The Amazon Fire TV 4K box blows the lot away.
Interesting rather surprised to say the SHIELD brings in 75XXX.
Thoughts?

Raspberry pi 4 vs Nvidia Shield Pro

Hey guys,
I have a doubt, I had a raspeberry pi 2 that broke down, just used it as a multimedia box (kodi and some addons).
at this point I wanted to replace the RP but I was unsure, I will just use it for the same, is it worth investing in the Raspberry Pi 4 or is it preferable to buy an Nvidia Shield Pro?
Thanks
Specifically as a media player, I would search for a used ShieldTV, any flat version (not the cylinder) for ~$100 or so.
I have used Kodi and Steam/GameStream on both rpi4 as well as the 2017 ShieldTV and much prefer the Shield TV for this purpose. The rpi4 just doesn't have the same 'oomph' with 4k videos and game streaming that the older ShieldTV has.
I'm told the 'tube' ShieldTV isn't bad, but isn't as good as any of the flat models, even the oldest 2015 model can outperform the tube, so try to find an old cheaper model.

Redmi Note 7 - cast video to chromebook, possible?

Hello,
My. TV broke and while we. wait for repair, we have been using my Girlfriends Chromebook to play video from usb stick, but its tiresome to always have to transfer video to usb.
Is there a way that I can cast video from my phone through VLC or SOUL browser to play on the chromebook, just like I do with my Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 and chromecast on my TV?
The chromebook is Acer CB3-131-C3SZ which has reached end of updates with latest and final being 93.0.4577.107
Thank you in advance
Jan
