Slower USB 2.0 port

You would think a computer expressly designed to plug into a TV would have an option for overscan correction

We love the idea of Intel's Compute Stick. We really do. Unfortunately, the execution is awful – a myriad of connectivity issues, poor performance that limits its use and overall experience really didn't impress us. Yes, you can bring the Compute Stick wi...

Abstract: PCs are getting smaller and smaller nowadays, and Intel's looking to make them even smaller with their newest product, the Compute Stick. The Compute Stick is, for all intents and purposes, a PC that's been stuffed inside a (chunky) USB stick that runs Wi...
Compact size, Versatile, fullyfeatured Windows PC, MicroSD card slot for storage expansion
Lackluster performance, Slow internet speeds, Requires power adapter to work reliably, Needs other peripherals for it to be truly usable
The Compute Stick is truly a jack of all trades, but master of none.At the end of the day, the Compute Stick's greatest merit lies in what it brings to the table as a concept and a new device form factor, as opposed to how well it performs its professed f...
The Compute Stick is touted as a computer in a pocket, and its performance and versatility are convincing when compared with competing smart TV solutions.However, being able to carry all of the Compute Stick's power “in-the-pocket” is far from the truth...

Los 150 dólares que cuesta esta edición dejan claro que este dispositivo es bastante más ambicioso que la mayoría de miniPCs del mercado. Aquí resulta inevitable no hablar de propuestas como las de la Raspberry Pi 2 -aunque no cumpla de forma tan solvente...
Licence Windows incluse, Prix assez raisonnable, Idée originale
Finition à revoir, Performances trop faibles, Stockage eMMC anémique, Streaming vidéo parfois difficile
Avec son Compute Stick, Intel étoffe encore son offre PC en présentant une solution peu courante. Certes, la marque de Santa Clara n'est pas la première, loin s'en faut, à proposer une clé qui se branche en HDMI sur un téléviseur. Mais généralement, il s'...

Le Compute Stick est surtout un « proof of concept » pour Intel, qui lui permet de prouver que son architecture x86 peut parfaitement faire l'affaire dans des machines miniatures autonomes. On l'utilisera par exemple pour accéder à Netflix directement sur...
