S912 Marshmallow – resolved yet. I have several boxes, deciding on next box

I really like the ninkbox TX8 not just for CPU & GPU

I also like the Sunvell T95U Pro. The Mifanstech H96 pro looks cool but phone .apk seems like gimmick to distract from true problems.

I’m currently setting up a Leelbox T95Z Plus for a Friend. He chose it. I’m just setting it up and gave me excuse to try several air mouse on his dime.

Both have ports not common to all boxes. I run Cat 6 so WiFi is not of great concern. The aux, spdif, the USB that allows USB drive to sizes of 1Tb are more important.

The TX8 has OTA but prior experience does not give me faith in updating Android much less any self installed apps.

I have looked at many many other boxes and may decide to build a micro factor case ( round would be nice but harder to fit hardware ) I have examined the Intel IPHT boxes but all run versions of CPU with 2Gb RAM cap. I would rather build a less than full on gaming machine but a powerful dual boot machine if none of the present boxes are going to be stable with S912, Android 6+ and KODI 17.

Any suggestions about the boxes I am considering or a better box? Your input would be much appreciated
