Another year is a double eleven, Lynx hit and then upgrade!
The Lynx Box has become the norm every time a double 11 hits. This is a good configuration, combined with a lovely appearance and steady performance and resources, so that the box is rapidly popularized in the box market. The Tmall for everyone Bringing the latest masterpiece - Box M13, how it performed, let's take a closer look.
Put aside radio and television, talk about the box...
At the moment, the box army has occupied the vast majority of the living room and bedroom, and the mini-portable PC products still have no habit of using the box and they are not used to it. In a short period of time, the box still occupies a dominant position, with absolute The right to rule, from its development so far, to moderate prices, convenient connections, and easy-to-use operations, has captured the needs of users, especially with the popularity and development of boxes, various kinds of movies, on-demand, Live APP also brings more vitality to the box market, so as to flourish, the ups and downs of the box will also experience, setbacks and hardships will continue, but the joy that the box brings to the user is not comparable, so the thing that is irritating Often, obstacles may lead to development, and they will promote transformation. The box for tomorrow may be stronger...
Unpacking
The box grows and the package does not change. Since the initial release of the Lynx Box, the packaging style has never changed. Kraft paper packaging and positive Tmall logo combination have become exclusive to the box.
Each change is only related to the back of the product information parameters and product name. The Tmall Main Theater, 4K support and 64-bit processor on the M13 will make the Tmall Box more competitive in the box market.
By the way, this sentence has also changed. M11's "Replaced from a new definition of life to M13" found that family happiness from the heart, this sentence may define the box more appropriate.
Unpacking, Tmall is staring at the unpacker with big eyes, is it saying, look, I still haven't changed. Since the early days, Tmall's magic box has changed its color (the red cat has become a black cat), and the rest has basically remained unchanged. This may be a time-consuming and labor-consuming effort for the merchants to redesign the appearance, but it remains unchanged for the users. The appearance will really save the United States from fatigue, and at the same time, for users who have a variety of Tmall products in their homes, looking at the front alone will make it difficult to distinguish old and new models.
Product standard: Lynx box M13, remote control, power supply, HDMI cable, manual and battery, in line with the previous paragraph, exactly the same configuration.
Lynx Box M13 Random standard HDMI HD cable, see the logo everywhere.
The Lynx Box M13 power supply still uses the integrated solution. The shape changes slightly with the previous one. The trapezoidal shape is replaced with a rectangle, and the workmanship and material are still so good. Look again at the cat's head, and the cat's logo is engraved on random accessories.
The Lynx Box M13 has no change in the packaging, the same shape, and certainly the remote control will not change. The remote control is still the original mold shape, using the 12-key simplified design, M key is replaced by orange, the main features: One-touch direct. The whole body of the remote control is treated with a black matte effect, and the remote control does not leave fingerprints when it is gripped.
Lynx Box M13 remote control with the front of the remote technology, the same color, the top of the infrared emission window, remote control using 2 7 batteries, Tmall random gifts, user-friendly start.
The Lynx Box remote control has always had a good grip, especially the frosted shell is not only non-slip, but also anti-fingerprint, plus a good button feedback, it is very comfortable to use.
The classic appearance and classic color scheme of the Lynx Box are timeless. The frosted body treatment is still used to integrate the celestial logo piano paint to make the product more stylish and stylish.
The interface order of the Lynx box is not fixed. With the upgrade of the built-in motherboard, the rear interface is constantly changing the position. The M13 is from left to right: power, HDMI HD port, network cable port, USB port, weight Set the AV port. As a local control, it is expected that the expansion of many USB ports will still fail to be realized on the M13.
Lynx Box M13 bottom of the fuselage is still using the piano paint process, and the top Tmall logo echo each other, the bottom of the middle inscribed with the product name and related information, anti-slip pad is still a circle design, the only change is only the model, this time as " M13â€.
Tmall is not so long. It is still so big; the skin color has not changed, it is still so red; eyes are sharp, it is so round.
Do not look at the bottom information, perhaps only from the different interface sequence to distinguish the models of the various Lynx box.
But I must mention that although the appearance of Tmall's box has never changed, but the workmanship is changing, the quality is changing, the material is getting better and better, the products are getting more and more fine, and at the same time, the body remains unchanged, the heart is changing, and the performance is also increasing. The more powerful it is.

Video on demand testing
Network Environment: 8M Telecom Broadband
The new box has been added to the Tmall cinema section, allowing users to enjoy more video resources.
The combination of Alibaba Cloud+Huazhong has been adopted on many well-known boxes and the results are quite good. The number of Huayuan's massive resources is stable and updated quickly.

The “listening to music†section of the music is to display the shrimp and rice music APP as a main category on the homepage of the main interface. After users apply today, the optimization of shrimp and rice music for TV box users is still very good, and the selection and operation of the music are very convenient.
Under the main interface add menu, users can add new installation software to the main interface at will, and they can also perform removal at any time.
Local play test
Each box test experience, the author is very concerned about the local playback, a box of high and low performance, good and bad, not only in the network on demand, the local video playback capability can not be ignored. When the user inserts the USB storage device, the main interface will jump out of the external storage operation menu.
When the user selects a video, the system will automatically load the video resources in the USB device.
The M13 official marked support for 4K, but because the author used 4K source U disk to use a friend, so the M13 was tested for 1080P. In the test, the author tested with multiple 1080P videos.
When the video is played, the user presses a menu button, a video player internal menu will pop up, and the user can make adjustments as needed.
Support 3D playback, as long as the user's home TV device supports 3D function, you can experience 3D stereo effect. The local play of the video box and the player operation of the box is very powerful. In the movie, it is easy to move forward and backward, with the point with the broadcast, playing smooth, 64-bit processor performance is indeed a lever.
summary
The Lynx Box M13 has made great progress in terms of process, performance, configuration, and cost-effectiveness. In addition, the perfect combination of Alibaba Cloud+Huazhong makes the M13 quite competitive in the market, especially the integration of the Tmall Cinema, to 4K. With the support of H.265 and the addition of 64-bit processors, the box is moving towards the high-end market. It is a very suitable choice for box enthusiasts.
