What are the import duties? Buying directly from Hardkernel is $63 (board, power supply, case and shipping). Given that you have local distributor to receive goods faster and deal with potential RMA issues, might be worth the extra R100.
 
Paid $53 including shipping. Can't remember what I paid UPS. Was about R100 I think.

Rand has dropped quite a bit since you bought tho :( - I reckon 1100 is about what you'd end up paying now, with shipping, duties etc.

I wouldn't buy a power supply tho - you must have some 2A phone chargers lying around, surely?
 
Looking at the Cyber Connect site - not bad actually. BUT the price of those eMMC cards?!
Anybody know if those can be found locally? I haven't seen at the normal places.

MicroSD is fast enough IMO.

My phone's far faster copying speed from the onboard eMMC card disagrees with you (compared to the high-speed sd card I installed). (Besides, if you gonna get the Odroid, why slum it with MicroSD when you can have eMMC goodness? Apart from the price, of course :(

Will look for comparison/performance tests, but IIRC, eMMC has roughly 3 times the read speed of UHS-1 (class 10) and 2 times write speed. You should see good performance increase, but other components (cpu, ram) may cause bottleneck elsewhere. Ultimately, I don't think that at the current price point it's worth it.

Are the eMMC chips not perhaps specific (designed/configured?) to Odroid, hence the price?

Dem exchange rate is a beach.

Unfortunately all the chargers I have (4 of them) is in use or already has a purpose. I was looking at USB charge stations as a possible central power hub (to power odroid, bpi and rpi), but have yet to find a 2A one. The couple that I've seen around local retailers are 1A, max 1.5A. It's ideal for phones and tablets though.

I've noticed the same thing - the multi-port chargers usually only have a single 2A port. The others are always lower. (That's when you even get a 2A port).

Ah, Dx. Haven't bought from them for years. How long do they take to deliver these days? Used to take ages.

Does not compute. Why no H.264 60fps support?
