Thanks for the review!
I need a small machine that runs local 1080p video files on VLC smoothly (some are large mkv files). I can go either with the Compute Stick or with the cheaper Kangaroo but I want it to last and the heat issue worries me.
1080p on vlc is my only use for this machine. Which one do you recommend?

The fan is unbearable. The advertisement says that the fan is quiet but it emits a high tone that makes me mad when I use Kodi or Plex.
