CES 2015: INTEL’S $150 COMPUTE STICK TURNS ANY HDTV INTO A WINDOWS PC


Intel Compute Stick
There were some impressively thin laptops and convertibles this year at CES. But the trophy of the tiniest PC has to go to Intel’s just-announced Compute Stick. Despite being just four inches long, it comes with everything you’d expect from a basic PC: an Atom processor, 2GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, a MicroSD slot for adding more, and a USB port. It will even ship with Windows when it goes on sale in March.
The only thing missing is the screen, which you provide by plugging the Compute Stick into an HDMI port on any old flat screen TV or monitor. You’ll also need to plug a USB cable into the device to provide power, but many TVs have those as well.
