Although it has not changed in appearance or configuration, it has added one month's equity to Youku Tudou. At present, the only product in the Box family that is bound to Youku Tudou members, along with the marriage between Ali and Youku, this renamed box is still worth looking forward to in the content.

Tmall's box M16C uses a square design as a whole. The roundness of the four corners makes it look dexterous and lively. In addition, the depressed middle waistline design highlights the exquisiteness of this compact box.


On the back is where all the interfaces are, from left to right are power, network cable, HDMI, USB and AV input, to meet the daily basic needs of use, which can be connected to the old TV at home through the AV interface, so that old TV can also easily Watch Internet video content.
