Andrewr05 Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 Upon bootup, the Aios displays what is either a sort of POST code or something very insulting. Link to picture in question. Good review NF, seems like a pretty decent unit for $100. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waco Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 Can this thing play 1080p MPEG4 without stuttering? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nVidia_Freak Posted October 7, 2011 Posted October 7, 2011 @neozgeo As I stated, I couldn't get a mouse to function anywhere where the functionality supposedly existed. Perhaps an update is needed to get it working. @Waco In my experience it can handle some pretty demanding stuff. It easily handled a few HQ 1080p MP4 renders of HD cam footage. Furthermore, it also handled the raw mts files that the camcorder created with finesse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pureluck Posted October 8, 2011 Posted October 8, 2011 I was able to get a small wireless bluetooth keyboard/trackpad to work. Had to reboot the box after I plugged in the USB transmitter. If anyone is interested. I dismantled mine today to see if there were any sockets to add ram, etc. I've attached a pdf with the notes and pictures. Here's the PDF.

Dismantling the PIVOS AIOS Media Player.pdf The mouse does have limited funtionality. But so does most of the software. I'll be looking for any firmware upgrades. It's almost beta software that's on it. If you push the option button in the browser you can open a text entry window to enter a URL.

tcool93 Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 (edited) nevermind. I don't know why people write reviews then not respond to questions. Edited October 15, 2011 by tcool93 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nVidia_Freak Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 tcool I remember what your questions were, so I'll answer them. I don't always keep up with questions. Without a hard drive the unit is near silent. There's not much inside, and certainly nothing that produces much heat as evidenced by the lack of heatsinks. With a hard drive, the unit is as loud as the drive. Slower and newer drives will be quieter, and obviously, an SSD will add no noise. A Seagate Barracuda 7200.12, which I used, is very quiet, with only head movement and a mild vibration letting me know that something's going on inside. Keep in mind, too, that the addition of a storage drive will increase the internal temperature, and I'm unaware if the fan ever ramps up or can handle very high heat. Even so, the unit itself is rather a large heat sink, so there shouldn't be too many issues if there are. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
