Khadas will be launching a lite-version of the VIM3, that we’ve aptly named the VIM3L! It is going to be affordably priced for the mass market, and targeted at the HTPC crowd. VIM3L will have a power consumption that’s slightly less than the VIM3, whilst still providing superior VPU and GPU decoding and performance; more test results, and the price, to be released later.
I like the boards for HTPC, but I think you guys should be able to sell a whole package at some kind of discount, adding everything together ends up being quite expensive to me but if you guys could do a whole package thing that includes the board, case, power adapter, USB cable, everything really needed for the board to be used as an HTPC that would be great, you guys don’t even have to put them together but all would come in same package.
I think this would be great, just select a whole kit and done.
Since this board doesn’t look like it will have the support for POE, I think the board should be longer to support the nvme storage device by default. other thought would be to add recalbox or retro pie support to the mix, more so recalbox as it has kodi though
** K0N: DTS + Dolby Vision*
I think this^ is the SoC that makes sense on a HTPC enthusiast oriented board. I would definitely pay a few extra $ for Dolby Vision support.
I thought the same until I used it to compile Kernel. It got hot on the back side.
Then I saw the DIY Case video that showed the use of metal plate is to be used with the heat passing pad to pass it on to the metal plate.
