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
Yes? You'd be wrong-the Compute Stick doesn't support that at all. The dongle worked fine on my TV
Tiny form factor, Full Windows 10 pre-installed, Additional USB 3.0 port added, Improved wireless chip
Performance isn't substantively better than previous model's, Fan is sometimes audible, Competing InFocus Kangaroo has more features, costs less, and isn't much bigger
Intel's updated Compute Stick sports an extra USB port and a better wireless chip for improved streaming. It's still an impressively compact and affordable, but unless every inch of space counts, you can buy cheaper alternatives with more features. Read...
Abstract: At $149 (trending down) this is an interesting Windows 8.1 PC but when you know it weighs just 54 grams / 0.116 pounds it becomes a bit of an eye opener. The Intel Compute Stick, and its branded variants, are starting to become available in the market and...

Good for basic web browsing, microSD card slot for storage expansion, Built-in Bluetooth
Keyboard and mouse not included, Annoying set-up process, Not powerful enough for serious multitasking, HDMI dongle needed to fit into many displays, Slower USB 2.0 port, Slow Wi-Fi
The Intel Compute Stick is a neat way to turn any HDMI-equipped screen into a Windows 8.1 PC, but it's not worth the hassle...
Adds limited computing power to your TV/display, Bluetooth, Small-size means easy to hide behind the TV, Decent video play and storage speed
Only one USB 2.0 port, Slow Wi-Fi networking, Accessorizing adds to final price, Resource restrictive
The Compute Stick can add some computing functions to your video display, but by itself, it's very limited. Accessorizing it might help make it a little better, but you'll still be a long way from using your TV as a full blown PC...
Tiny size, great price, works with any HTML display, Windows or Linux configuration
Usually needs external power, can be slow with several apps working at once, runs hot
Deliveries of the Intel Compute Stick are expected to start in June and pre-orders are available. The Windows version I looked at will sell for $150. For Linux aficionados, a model loaded with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS will be available for about $110; it will hav...
