>same product but new name, probably cheaper parts,

The new $100 TV Streamer has 32GB of RAM. 32GB of consumer RAM alone is at least $50, and that doesn't include any of the other stuff (graphics, cpu, nic) that makes a minimally useful device.

There's some misunderstanding. It's 32 GB ROM, not RAM. RAM is 4 GB.

Seems pricey for what it offers. Just WiFi 5 - not even WiFi 6 or 6E, let alone WiFi 7. It doesn't even come with an HDMI cable, sigh.

Gotcha, that makes more sense.
