I think you get more for your money going with android. The guy from Minix said
"You want a mini computer (Z83-4), or you want a media box (U1)?". The win 10 mini pc
gets mix reviews being used as a XBMC media center, some say works prefect and someone said
it dropped video frames. The Minix X7 Android suffered video micro freezes (drop video frames) when it first came but they fixed it pretty fast. I think you will be ok going with either.
