This € 50 Android PC has a rare feature, hardly any other device offers

The X96H sounds like the name of a futuristic fighter, but it's "just" an Android PC that costs less than €50 on Gearbest with a quad-core processor, 4GB of RAM and 64GB of onboard storage.

This is a fraction of what similarly configured Windows PCs cost, and while it's not an exact apple-to-apple comparison, the X96H offers something no other Windows PC does.

HDMI is coming

In addition to the ubiquitous HDMI output, there is also an HDMI input that can be used to bring an external video source to the device for monitoring and recording. Its use is limited only by your imagination.

The X96 runs on a heavily customized version of Android 9.0 with a remote to highlight its TV box roots, an LED screen, and plenty of ports (three USB ports, one Ethernet, one card reader, and two audio jacks).

Don't forget that Android was never designed to be controlled by a keyboard and mouse combination. As such, the X96H comes with some troublesome issues.
