Anyone looking to get a new afforable mini PC is surely considering the new Chuwi GBox, because it’s hands down one of the most interesting pieces with the right price/performance ratio out there. And currently you can grab one with a 15% discount for the next three days on the Gearbest e-shop, so the price will reach $198.99.
Chuwi GBox is carrying onboard the Gemini Lake processor, the quad core Intel Celeron N4100 so it’s fully equipped to natively handle some advanced specific tasks like the 4K UHD hard-decoding, DRM support for premier sources like Netflix or Sony and new gigabit Wi-Fi UHD content streaming. Talking about Netflix, the Chuwi released a recommendation for the web browsers for the streaming, because they are not equal at all with the capabilities.

Windows 10 App | can reach more than 1080p (1080p~4K) |
Netflix’s movies involve encryption, so the compatibility of different browsers is different. It is not recommended to use the Chrome/Firefox/opera, but rather stick to the dedicated Netflix App or Microsoft Edge or Safari to correctly get the 1080p output or higher.
