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 center's rat nest
I've been looking for a low-power
Lightweight device to use as a Kodi mul
Small and versatile
Inexpensive
The editors didn't like
You would think a computer expressly designed to plug into a TV would have an option for overscan correction

So who should go for the Intel Compute Stick. Well, that is a tricky one to answer as this is an entirely new product category in a way. The advantage it offers over the incumbents in the small form factor PC space is its sheer size. At Rs 9,999 price poi...
Weak performance, Grainy video output, Requires vents and a fan, Insufficient connectivity
The Intel Compute Stick is undoubtedly a marvellous technological achievement, but after spending time with it our thoughts have evolved. We have a bit of trouble imagining where it might find a place for itself in the world. The HDMI dongle form factor l...

Only one USB port, loud fan
Slower than a laptop but more expensive than a Chromecast, the Intel Compute Stick feels more like an awkward compromise between portable PC and pure streaming device than its own, well-rounded product. Its simplicity and low price are tarnished somewhat...

Small, Cheap
Very poor performance, Cooling issues, Port clearance may be a problem, Somewhat limited connectivity
The Intel Compute Stick works well as a demonstration of just how small a PC can be, but it's only half a computer and not the good half either...

Without the HDMI cable, the device may be difficult to connect to a screen where the ports are close together, Performance is a bit slower than other mobile devices, Only one USB port on the device, Requires vents and a fan
