Starting the unit it comes up to a basic Launcher with basic Apps installed such as YouTube and Netflix.
The box came with Kodi 18 loaded which is still in Beta and not yet finished, so we uninstalled it and loaded Kodi 17.6 Krypton.
It had no problems installing Kodi 17.6 from the Google Play store.
The System Info monitor in Kodi showed is using hardly any resources.
Testing the WiFi speed with Ookla App from SpeedTest.net it shows a 46Mbps Download, and a 22Mbps Upload.

Summary
H96 MAX H1 is a good Android TV Box that will have no problems playing HD 1080p videos or playing basic games.
It is a low cost mid-range unit built for those on a budget or a box for a second room.
It has no problems streaming from online sources such as Netflix, YouTube, or Kodi.
I am still testing the unit so far with good results and will update if anything changes.
As always be sure to read the reviews on Amazon, forums, or elsewhere to be sure a unit is a good fit for you.
Can I use it with a wireless keyboard as a pc – ie surf the net, use gmail, all google apps like docs and maps.
How does it work with netflix HD content?
Would you consider this box to be an upgrade from a firetv box? I mostly use it for kodi but I like to have a lot of addons installed and I find that if I have extra apps installed on my firetv then it starts to slow down. Also would I just be better off shelling out the dough and getting a Nvidia Shield? I’m not a gamer so I feel like the shield might be overkill. Thanks!
