That's sooo cool. I love these guys. I have the xu3 and its great! Exynos A15 processor runs nice.
This one's great. I had debated getting the u3 for home entertainment, but it didn't make use of the eMMC, this one does. The -"W" was at the price point i wanted, but didn't have onboard anything.
Def. picking one up soon!
if anyone else decides to, i highly recommend going for the eMMC 5.0 memory. they're worth it.  Comparatively, it is to microSD, what SSD is compared to HDD.
