I agree they are great, I have a few. Just a note on the ethernet, it is
via a USB2 connected MAC device and not directly connected to the DDR so
the performance is ok not great, ie they are not for NAS type applications.

The graphics is very good using the Broadcom binary blob. Load Kodi on
it to make a media box and you will see the nice HD video performance.
