Beelink Pocket PC

[Squizza]

Just purchased one of these from Gearbest for £69 http://www.gearbest.com/tv-box/pp_147603.html?wid=3

Going to use it as a VPN and some other hosting stuff. Once I receive it (I paid the extra pennies for the UK warehouse) I will post a review.
If it performs like the Stream 7 then I will be more than happy.

Just noticed for £10 less you can get it in this guise: http://www.gearbest.com/tv-box/pp_147604.html

Second one doesn't seem to have expandable memory?

also depending on what you're wanting to do with it/how much grunt wouldn't a rpi2 do all the above for about half the price (by the time you buy wifi Bluetooth etc)

Got many rpi's including the 2. Main purpose is to set up a VPN for my mate, before a security update on Raspian it worked fine, however now it only works with running additional apps on the iPhone for L2TP

Windows does sometimes just make it easy, plus who does not like a new gadget to mess with

The second does have an SD slot:

OK managed to cancel the first order and get the smaller one with the keyboard that they offer (deal when buying both).
I think this one ships from China though and not the UK centre, so could be a couple of weeks before I can report back on it.

Just had confirmation it has been shipped. Logged into my accout, they provide a picture of the parcel and it has shipped within the UK!
Hopefully will have in a few days unless the couriers (I won't say who but they have a reputation.....) pull a miracle off!
