In this review im going to be looking at the NEXBOX T12 (Also known as the T11) that comes with Intel’s latest 14nm Intel Z8300 processor and authorised activated Windows 10.
The N12 comes with 2GB RAM, and 32GB eMMC, built in wi-fi module,SATA and usb 3.0 support.Iv been playing around with this for just over a week now & i have to say im very immpressed with it.
The main plus for me is being able to pick wether to use the VGA or the HDMI output both work as they should.
Also on the Tv box packaging it does mention Android 5.1 so maybe theres a chance of getting some Android firmware in the near future.

SSD Compartment
The NEXBOX N12 comes with Windows 10 preinstalled & is fully activated version with English language installed and there is no bloatware on it.
The first thing i did was to get all the windows updates out of the way, After an hour or so of updates & a few restarts,The next thing i like to do is to make a driver backup using double driver, a very easy program to backup & restore your drivers.

DEVICE
My N12 is now showing around 16.5GB of free space in windows after all the updates.
What works
64GB sd works
120GB SSD
128GB USB Stick
Samsung 1TB unpowered HD works
Tronsmart Mars G01 Gamepad works
Logitech c270 webcam works
The boot time on the N12 is around 30 seconds & that takes you straight to the main windows screen where your ready to go.I then installed a 120GB SSD in the compartment on the underside of the N12 (Very easy to do just undo the 2 screws & slot in)
Theres 4 full sized USB ports with one of them being a USB 3 port (Great to see this on a tv box),One VGA port on the rear along with the RJ45 port,HDMI port,Head phones port,Power port (5 volts 4 Amp psu) & a OTG port.
The N12 has plenty of venterlation holes on the underside & with all the testing iv done the device has only ever got warm never hot.I think this is down to the nice sized heatsink thats fitted to the PCB.
Device ports
Right Hand side,You will find 2 full sized USB ports & the power button
Left Hand side,You will find one USB2,one USB3 PORT & the SD card slot
Rear,You will find the VGA port,RJ45 port,HDMI port,Head phones port,Power port & the OTG port
Games
Iv tested beach buggy racing & asphalt 8 both played perfect with no lags, freezs or lock ups & the loading time is fast.
Kodi
IV installed the latest stable kodi 16 jarvis whitch runs perfect, windows seems to handel kodi much better than the android tv box's with a faster load time etc
WIFI
The wifi surprised me on N12 as its a lot better than I was expecting very pleased with it found my network connection first time & the signal strength was strong,It also picked up other near by networks.
Cpu Stress test
The stress testing gave me some course for concern i must admit.
I ran a full load test & once the box gets to around 80c the box will freez & lock up thats after around 45 min at full load.
Whats in the box
1x MINI PC
1x Power adapter
1x HDMI cable
1x User manual
Basic unboxing video
