Form factor, Power consumption, Good Netflix box
Refresh rate accuracy, Video rendering performance
I must admit that even though that this iteration of the Intel Compute Stick will not meet the demands of requiring HTPC users, and the Intel BayTrail NUC is a better value if you don't need a Windows license, I still love the concept. There is just some...
Full-Windows, preconfigured PC in amazingly small form factor, USB and micro-USB ports, Includes MicroSD slot, $149 price includes Windows license
Only one USB port usable for connecting peripherals, Zotac's Zbox Pico PI320, at $199, delivers more connectivity and is only slightly bigger
An amazingly small, fully configured Windows 8.1 system, the Compute Stick is an excellent value as an HDTV streamer, a light-duty productivity PC, and more. Read More…...

I love that the Compute Stick can be powered solely by the USB port on my TV. I expected it to need more power, but it doesn't. One less plug in my entertainment centre's rat nest, I've been looking for a low-power, lightweight device to use as a Kodi mul

No.The Compute Stick is a good idea at what would be a decent price if it did a good job. But this stick just has too many problems. It's hard to set up and use. It's not very powerful. It has weird connectivity issues. It's not even all that portable: ye...
Small enough to fit behind a monitor, Can play 1080p video smoothly, Inexpensive
Poor performance, Not enough ports, Limited storage, Far too expensive for media streaming
Can the Compute Stick be your sole computer? Yes, absolutely. It can run everything any other affordable desktop can except games. The question is not whether this device can be your only PC, but whether you'd want it to be. That's a tougher sell. The Co...

Abstract: Is Intel's Compute Stick a solution looking for a problem, or is this PC the size of a USB stick a solution to a problem you didn't you know you had?You know, like dude, I can't stand my so-called smart TV's pathetic browser and horrible remote control in...

Abstract: Intel wants to help you turn any TV into a Windows PC, for the low cost of $149. All it takes is a little stick, much like the much-loved Google Chromecast . Meet the all-new Intel Compute Stick .The Compute Stick is essentially a complete PC, but in the ...
