Review: Cheap Celeron 1037U Mini PC (IN-1037UA)

Yep, the real seller verified that he'd been hacked.

I'll be getting my refund in a few days.

Ahh, good to know!

Lucky it was only a few bucks :3

(I'll remove the Ebay link, so other people won't buy it)

Just writing to say that OE 4.0.2 is running great with this system. I have two of them and am very happy. Some say there is a 24p bug...if there is, I don't notice it at all.

Thanks for the original review of this, it helped me pull the trigger.

How about 1080P content, blurays etc?

[doug]

1080p movies play smoothly for me with or without VAAPI. I normally leave VAAPI enabled and CPU usage gets up to 15%. If VAAPI is disabled, CPU usage can get up to about 75%, but normally 65% to 70%.

Just got one in today, it's working pretty well apart from the WoL issues. I can leave it on, though.

Does anyone have a link to the most recent BIOS and flashing tool?

Edit: Got feedback from Melissa Lau at Inctel:

This model not support Walk on lan, our new batch of C1037U next month the new batch come out, will support Walk on lan.

This one, but this month the batch not support, we are producing new batch which have developed this function and support.

A bit cryptic, but I guess the newer versions of their C1037U systems will support WoL, although the chipset seems to be the same.

Saga, So the one you linked is the one that has WOL?

Should be, yes. But before ordering I recommend you email them at their sales address beforehand, since it's also related to the production batch, apparently.

Has anyone received the remote for this device?
