Intel Compute Stick?

Sasqui · May 31, 2016

This is the newest model, currently $116 with Win10/Android 4.4/5.5. Great reviews... the only thing people seem to be having problems with is the power supply:

Considering you're getting Win10 with this, coupled with a BT keyboard & mouse, seems like it'd make a really convenient device to web surf and stream video over any household TV with HDMI.

Anyone try and go this route? Obviously not going to win any 3D benchmark scores, lol.

The newest Atom based ones use the x5-Z8300.

Plus there are also beefier (but far more expensive) models with Core Ms in them.

That newer one with the Atom X5-Z8300 seems to have issues with Wifi and USB 3.0, plus a bunch of other complaints, bringing the rating to 3.5 stars right now. Perhaps it'll get better with time and drivers http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01AZC4NHS/?tag=tec06d-20

This one seems to be faring better on the review front

Did they fix the bluetooth/wifi issues? Until then this thing is useless.

It appears they did with the one I linked and the second one linked by @Yukikaze ...one reviewer speaks about an overscan problem.
