  • PositiveSehr bedienerfreundlich
  • PositiveGroße Formatvielfalt
  • NegativeRecht lange Startzeit

Platz 3 in der Bestenliste verdankt der Syabas PopBox V8 der breiten Palette an Formaten, die er im Test abspielen kann sowie seiner ausgezeichneten Ergonomie. Die schlanke Fernbedienung etwa liegt gut in der Hand, und die sinnvoll angeordneten Tasten sind hintergrundbeleuchtet. Außerdem reagiert das Gerät flott auf Eingaben. Die Startzeit (45 Sekunden) ist aber etwas lahm.
