Many have loved this old Fire TV box as it offered a built-in USB port and ethernet without the need for an adapter. If you want something with more power though you may want to think about getting the Fire TV Stick 4K as it comes with better 4K HDR and a faster quad-core 1.7 GHz process for a cheaper price. The processor may be slightly slower but the quad-core processor gives you a far better experience than the dual-core. Add in the better 4K HDR and for most the Fire TV Stick 4K maybe a better guy at $49.99.
