Right lets get this review started on opening the box the first thing you will notice is its quite a big device with a matt black finish to it.

The V1 plus is a all plastic square box with venterlation holes on the both sides.It has a aluminum heatsink & a mini fan Giving it a good chance to keep the unit cool BUT it should of came with some ear plugs too as its rather loude when it kicks in,Ok its not running all the time but when it is running Its a lot louder than the fans on my tower pc infact i can hear the fan over the tv even when im in the next room.Im doing some stress tests right now and it must be spinning at 10 million RPM.

I tried to measure the sound with a app



On the first boot of the V1 Took me to the windows setup, language product key etc etc (No need to enter a windows key here) just skip it for now then you will find it gets fully activated after the setup is compleat.First thing i wanted to do was to get it fully upto date.I went to windows update center and that kept giving me a connection error,So i changed my tackticks and downloaded the windows 10 update assintant & 2 hours latter i now have the latest Windows Version 1703 Build 15063.540.




The V1 is now showing around 39GB of free space in windows after all the latest updates.should.The main plus on the V1 is being able to pick wether to use the VGA or the HDMI output both work as they should.

The V1 Plus has all the ports most people will need with the power button the top nice and easy to get to.
