Considering the Minix Neo x7 over the MK802 IV

In a previous post, I talked about how the MK802 IV had the potential to go mainstream.  I believe that the device has failed in that goal.  Many reviews talk about problems with Netflix and other apps.  Although I am currently a strong supporter of MK802's, that support is wavering.  I'm considering for my next purchase a Minix Neo x7.  These devices are far larger than MK802's, so they are not as portable, but they do over a lot of features.  They have built in ethernet, an external antenna, more USB ports and a remote control.  The x7 is the closest thing to a perfect device so far.  It is missing one major feature.  Right now, the firmware only has a 720p kernel.  It will still output at 1080p, but it will be upscaled from 720p.  For me, it is not that big of a deal.  My bedroom TV is only 720p.  I would really like to keep 1080p in my living room.  The goal is to get this technology mainstream, however.  The mainstream really loves their 1080p.  It really is an essential feature.  I understand that their are heating issues.  Most Android mini-pc's don't have active cooling.  The Neo x7 has a large enough case that I am surprised that they don't have a really large heatsink to help with the cooling.  They might be able to squeeze in a small fan if needed.  I think the x7 is the closest bet on Android TV's going mainstream.
