Difference between Q5 Pro & Q10 Pro

[Bedi]

Some friends are buying Q5 Pro this weekend but I'm encouraging them to get the Q10 Pro instead. I've listed 5 differences between the two.

1. 16Gb in Q10 Pro vs 8Gb flash in Q5 Pro
2. 3.5" SATA slot with Q10 Pro
3. Capacitive touchscreen on front panel on Q10 Pro, with overall bigger casing
4. Q10 Pro  back-panel has Coaxial + USB 3.0 + open vent cooler fan
5. Q10 Pro black, Q5 Pro silver. Embarrassing stains on Q10 Pro may stand out more.

Am I missing anything else? Other than the 5 items above, are they identical in every respect?

Depends on what you use it for. The Q10 is better if you're planning to use it more than just a media player.

I've invested over $25k on my home theatre, and the Q10 was excess to my requirements.

To answer the original question: Yes functionally they are identical all differences are HW-casing/Ports related only. They share  the same Chipset/SOC offering the same features.
