The Intel Compute
Stick looks like a
long media
streaming dongle or
rather a large
thumb drive that
plugs into any HDMI
port. However, it's
not just any
ordinary stick, it's a
PC that runs
Windows. It's amusing how Intel has
managed to shrink a computer on a
stick! Yes, plug it into any HDMI port
equipped screen and convert that
device into a fully functional PC. But is
the device ready for prime time? We
take a look in our review...
Build, design and setting up
The Intel Compute Stick looks like a
pen drive on steroids, larger in terms of
both width and length. The design is
utilitarian at best and won't win any
laurels for its looks. Made from plastic,
the front has a glossy finish with big
vents for fans (yes the stick even
houses fans for cooling!) an LED light
and the Intel logo (printed very
casually).
