Absolutely none.. have to be honest, I do not have the Pro, so I only 2 Gigs/16GIG. The reviewers could find no difference between the 2GIG & 3GIG machine in performance, buffering etc. The main difference was about $50.00 more for an additional 1GIG of Ram.

I had no issues with the Wi-Fi, but I use Ethernet connection through "electrical homeplugs" because of the distance between the box & router. I have mine connected to the surround sound and it sounds a lot better than just the TV speaker. But then what wouldn't with TV speakers pointing down, rather than forward...LOL

I have had one of these for about 2 months
came with kodi 17 beta on it with preloaded addons
wiped that and installed kodi 17.1 so i could set it up with only the addons i use
works well except for the remote
when i hit the left arrow key on remote it makes the box lock up or reboot
started using a mini keyboard instead and the issue went away so must be a defect with the remote
no complaints other than that

Anyone know the pinout of the correct AV cable? I cannot find one that works correctly (I tried 2 different ones, neither one was right). Also what are the correct settings when using the AV cable? I tried turning on RGB mode and also tried the 480p/60Hz resolution setting. I have to do the settings on an HDMI monitor (which works fine) but I want to attach the box to a TV that doesn't have an HDMI input. Are there any better instructions than what is included with the box? Also what is TV Center? When I click on it, it just says it's not installed.

Edit: It appears the AV output is set for PAL instead of NTSC. All I can get is a rolling black and white picture. Does anyone know how to set it to NTSC?

just ordered the Zoomtak U plus which appears to be very close to this box. It will support and plug a 3tb drive into the unit. $101 from Ali with the faster shipping (3 to 13 days). Aluminum box should help with any heat problems. Dishuser said timeshift works well with this box. I hope I can get it to do some of the things I want it to do before getting frustrated and throw it against the wall.

Anyone know if I can run NFPS iptv on this box
