Best place and time to buy MI Box S?

by Sylph_uscm

Hi folks! I was hoping someone here could help me, since the last time i bought an android box, despite doing a good amount of research, I was quite dissapointed with the result.

This time around, I'm pretty sure a MI Box S is what I'm after, but I'm uncertain about whether I'll pay less buying it from amazon, ebay, aliexpress, or somewhere else. I'm also uncertain whether black friday is likely to make a difference, and most of all, I'm confused about which versions I should be paying attention to!

I already have an airmouse remote that I'm very happy with, as well as a wireless keyboard and bluetooth mouse, so I'm not bothered about controls, I just need a device that's relatively fast (I'm not after 4k streaming here, my eyesight isn't good enough to worry about that!).

Can anyone just give me a quick pointer? My basic question is, if you were going to get a MI Box S to use throughout 2020, what would you do to acquire one?

Thanks in advance for any help!

(Note - I'm adding the fact that I'm in the UK, because I didn't make that clear originally)

I would go to WalMart.com and pay $40 for it. It has been that price for a couple of weeks now. If you aren't in the US, then I don't know. If it had Ethernet I would have already bought it.

You must specify model mdz-22-ab exactly to avoid confusion between the many variations of Xiaomi MiBox prevalent on the market.

As it seems you may be offshore from USA, Aliexpress would be the best price.

Otherwise, USA Walmart has current promo for $US 40.
