22:15 viperisthebest hello
22:16 viperisthebest I don't understand the difference in just buying the cubox-i and the cuboxtv
22:17 viperisthebest What is the difference?
22:20 cbxbiker61 less ram on the cuboxtv vs the cuboxi quad
22:22 cbxbiker61 under normal media playback scanarios the cuboxtv has plenty of ram
22:23 viperisthebest I want to buy the cubox-i 4x4, Should I buy that or the 4 gb cuboxtv?
22:27 cbxbiker61 i haven't seen a 4G cubox-tv, are you sure there is one?
22:28 cbxbiker61 last time i looked the cubox-tv's were 1G
22:29 viperisthebest yes, there is one here:
22:29 cbxbiker61 bottom line is for media playback only 1G is fine, if you're like me and want to be able to repurpose the device later, more ram is better
22:29 viperisthebest repurpose the device?
22:30 cbxbiker61 use it for something else....i use my devices for lots of years
22:30 viperisthebest What else would you use it for?
22:31 cbxbiker61 given that it can be attached to external e-sata, pretty much anything you can think of
22:32 viperisthebest Is the 1G one enough for apps/addons?
22:33 cbxbiker61 do you mean kodi addons? if so. yes
22:34 viperisthebest What about for game apps?
22:35 cbxbiker61 how are you planning to use the device?
22:36 viperisthebest well, I might put osmc on it maybe, osmc has an app store
22:36 cbxbiker61 ic, well more ram may be better then
22:38 viperisthebest So there is no difference between the 4G cuboxtv and 4G cubox-i then?
22:38 cbxbiker61 i can't say for sure, since i haven't really paid much attention to the cuboxtv version
22:39 viperisthebest yeah, they could have put a better explanation of the cuboxtv, like the difference
22:39 cbxbiker61 true
