Nexbox MXQ

As usual, we start the list with a very cheap device - this time is a mini PC with a slightly outdated SoC, but at this price it's still worth noting.

Nexbox MXQ comes with Amlogic S805, 1GB of RAM and 8GB ROM.

The OS is Android 4.4.

MXQ Pro+

I've seen the "MXQ" letter combination in several device names from several manufacturers - now it's time for one that has both "Pro" and "Plus" in the name, so you know it's special :-)

MXQ Pro+ comes with the better version of Amlogic S905 - 2GB of RAM, 16GB of eMMC storage, dual-band wi-fi and Gigabit Ethernet.
Yes, almost twice the price of the "MXQ" above, but there's quite a difference between them as well (in terms of specs).

Z68 TV box (Rockchip RK3368)

This particular item got to the April 2016 Mini PC DB deals list as well, and since then the price got even better. Rockchip RK3368 might be attractive to some due to the octa-core CPU, dual-band wi-fi, Gigabit Ethernet, and HDMI 2.0.

Link to the Z68 Mini PC on GearBest currently at just $54.59.

MXQ Plus

To make things even more confusing, here's the "MXQ Plus" Mini PC

MXQ Plus comes with the low-cost Amlogic S905 board - 1GB of RAM and 8GB ROM.
So, another "MXQ" Amlogic S905 device - this one comes with 4 USB ports and S/PDIF/AV/HDMI/Ethernet.
