The Beelink X2 is an affordable TV box. It does have some limitations, but considering the low price it is a decent device.
The box is made out of plastic and it is slim enough to look good sitting somewhere next to tv set. It has a LED on the front that turns either blue or red depending if the box is on or off.
It has an HDMI and an optical audio output on the back along two usb ports. It takes an sd card but i only find that useful for increasing it's limited 8gb storage capacity. It can be connected to the Internet through a network cable or through wifi. The wifi has a good range and i didn't encounter any issues with it.
The box comes pre-installed with Android 4.4. Scrolling through screens is smooth but playing large mkv files doesn't go that smooth. Watching youtube videos at 1080p is not smooth at all. Changing the resolution to 720p improves the smoothness while watching youtube videos. Kodi works fairly well with watching different streams.
Even though it has some limitations while watching large files, at $36 USD it makes an excellent and affordable media centre. Check out the link in the video's description if you are interested in this device.
