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

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
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…...

Abstract: With Intel's Compute Stick, less is more, as the adage goes. The tiny device is essentially an oversized USB drive that doubles as a tiny low-powered Windows 8.1 PC. It can turn any HDTV or monitor into a bare-bones PC for a staggering low price of just u...
Form factor is controversial, Fan isn't ideal, Performance wasn't impressive
The Compute Stick is a niche product – one that will have fans and detractors. It has flaws and compromises, and far too many to make it an indisputable 'buy now' product. Wait until the next version, and we shall reconsider our verdict....

Abstract: Fancy having a full PC that fits in your hand? Intel have ambitiously created the next generation of portable computing by creating the Compute Stick, which is a complete PC operating system that unobtrusively plugs into the HDMI port of your TV. Take it...
The Intel Compute Stick retails at RM 599 which I think is an excellent price for such an item. Imagine, that price is inclusive of Windows 8.1 OS and as you know that operating system isn't cheap. You get to upgrade it to Windows 10 as well because the I...
Really small form factor, Capable of 1080p 30fps decoding, Low power consumption, Capable of handling general web browsing and Office tasks, USB 2.0 port capable of supporting external hard drive, Easy to hide behind displays
Only one USB 2.0 port, Insufficient grunt for multitasking, Still requires an external power supply
The Stick can be summed up in one word, awesome. It turns any TV with a HDMI input into a smart TV. The Intel Compute Stick is quite the cili padi I expected it to be. Tiny but with just enough kick to not be easily overlooked. The only improvements I can...
