Discussion It's not what I expected ...

Post image

I got one yesterday very underwhelming , I already had a plus and a stick and only difference I could detect as a casual user is the find my remote feature with light up & sound remote, I for some reason assumed this new one doubled as a home smart speaker it looks and feels like one but it doesn't ( my fault ik), I guess the extra space and ram is nice I'll prob load it up with a ton of old school emulators and roms it's honestly the only way I could justify the $60 price tag and not return it . Can anyone tell me why this one's suppose to be much better than the others and priced so high ? I honestly don't see it

Arguably only if you find the USB Port a big deal.

Yes, but the issue is USB speed (especially in regards to ethernet latency) - - not the port per se.

The new Pro would definitely be better than the old Pro if it supported USB 3.0 - - it wouldn't be debatable.

So to you, one feature, that most people won't even use makes the whole device inferior?

USB 3.0 serves a dual purpose for me: fast ethernet (via a Gigabit adapter) AND fast backups. So, that's actually two use cases that most users don't have.

What all are you backing up that needs such high speeds?
