  • Media support I wish it supported more media types - but there are FOSS converters that will get the job done. so-so
  • Video quality 1080p - what more can I say great!
  • Audio quality I'm just using my tv speakers - but sounds good to me good
  • Ease of use By far the best set top user experience. great!
  • Design and form factor The device itself looks good, but the remote looks like its destined to be lost in the couch cushions. good
Detailed review
I can say this is one of the single best purchases I have made this year. If you are already hooked into the Apple platform Ecosystem I highly recommend this. The UI is intuitive, the NetFlix app is the best one I've seen so far. The set up is simple.
The only obnoxious thing I've found so far, is when I press up or down on the remote it changes the volume of my laptop on my lap.

Sounds like you need to unpair that remote with your laptop. See: support.apple.com­/kb­/PH7233
It does that because…

"If your computer is not paired with a remote, the computer will take commands from any remote within range (up to 30 feet).

To prevent your computer from being controlled by any remote, select “Disable remote control infrared receiver” in the Security preferences pane."
