Faster than I expected

Quicker than expected, over heated once, but very satisfied.
I purchased this several months ago to replace the XD model I've had for years that replaced the 1st gen SD model I had before that. I red lots of reviews and despite some of the complaints about speed I am pleasantly surprised and satisfied with my streaming stick. Not as fast of the bigger models I am sure but gets the job done.
One word of caution, when I first installed I plugged it into an outlet so the stick was on 24/7. Well after a few weeks I noticed decreased performance. When I reached back to disconnect it was EXTREMELY hot. I guess being on all the time next to the TV vents venting all the heat from the TV combined with the heat the stick produced it was not a good combo. After it cooled off it worked fine again. I have switched to the USB port so when the TV is off so is the stick. No problems with it now.
The only other thing that is a little annoying is the remote, seems to be a delayed reaction often to input commands. IDK why maybe someone can enlightened me as to why but I don't like. Makes searching difficult cause I miss letters all the time. Bluetooth keyboard connection would a nice option for the non voice command models.
I would recommend this to a friend!
