First introduced at CES 2015, Intel’s Compute Stick, a new pocket-sized computer based on a quad-core Intel Atom processor running Windows 8.1 with Bing, is now available through Intel authorized dealers. The stick PC is designed to transform any HDMI display into an entry computer capable of working with productivity apps, playing local or streamed content, driving basic digital signage, or enabling thin clients.
The Compute Stick supports Wireless 802.11 b/g/n, a microSD card for expandable memory, MicroUSB power supply, and Bluetooth 4.0 for keyboard and mouse. Prices for the Windows version of the computer start at $149. A Linux version with Ubuntu, available in June, is expected to retail for $110.
