As Liliputing’s Brad Linder points out, the biggest difference between the new model and the original (which sports similar specs) is the adjustable WiFi antenna.
“Personally I didn’t have any problems connecting the original MK908 to my home WiFi network, but these tiny Android TV sticks are notorious for flaky WiFi performance,” Linder explained. “So in general I’m a fan of any changes designed to improve WiFi reception.”
