The Intel Compute Stick is one of the more innovative devices of 2015 – if not the best. There are no surprises here – the Intel Compute Stick is what it is: a small footprint, low-power, great value PC. To say it's a “prototype” or a “beta” devic...

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...

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, but my on my friend's 80-inch projection TV—o
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...
Tiny Form Factor, Affordable, Quiet, LowPower, Ready To Use With OS Out Of The Box (after selecting region, etc.)
No 802.11ac WiFi, Only 1 USB Port, Low Performance
Find The Intel Compute Stick @ Amazon.ComThe Windows-based version of the Compute Stick with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of storage we looked at here (model STCK1A32WFC), will have a street price hovering around the $149 mark. The Ubuntu version (model STCK1A8LFC...
