Hello, everyone Place a query here. I come across an android device with strange shape today http://www.tinydeal.com/u6d-android-42-tv-box-w-px1lraw-p-101318.html This rounded small device reminds me of Mac mini Likewise, this android TV box is small, actually smaller than mac mini. But it has hdmi port, rj45 port and wifi function. so this device can become a PC if fitted with a keyboard and mouse However,does it can work on all functions that pc does? It has android os but mac mini has apple os, this make them work differently or which is better?

These are mobile OS, not like Windows. However, it will still let you do general tasks.

Thanks for your comment I know these are mobile OS, but one is android os and another is ios,a lot of difference. e.g android os is an open platform and everything is free while apple store is not. Do you ues windows os? Which one do you prefer?

Mobile OS are very limited compared to PC OS like Windows. With that being said, between iOS and Android, Android is much more relaxed and open, with more control.

android on tvs works great and is very cheap. There are so many apps its almost pointless to get another device that costs much more. Unless you need a certain application that can only be found on a pc get the adnroid set. I think many devices can even run Ubuntu which is a full desktop os.
