Works Perfect for My Needs

Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2018

Verified Purchase

I don't care what anybody else says on the reviews. I think it works perfect in my opinion. It could use more usb ports though. If I need more memory I just attach a 64 gb cruzer glide to it. It works perfect for my python projects. I left the bios alone - did not bother updating it. The wireless speed is not super fast, but I am not really using the stick for browsing the internet. If concerned about it getting hot, I just put a fan (a cheap box fan is sufficient) near it like I do with my other electronics: laptop, raspberry pi, etc....

This stick is awesome! My husband and I use it every time we travel and don't want to lug around a laptop. We installed Steam on this, and it runs most games smoothly. It has bonus HDMI/USB ports as well for our wireless controller adapter, and anything else you'd need. I highly recommend this if you travel a lot, or just want to be more ergonomic, lol.

Amazing Technology Crammed in a Tiny Package, but consider a NUC or other SFF product First

Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2016

Verified Purchase

The good news – this stick feels like the future – or at least a highly integrate-able form factor that manufacturers should use in every “smart screen” device in the future. The best way to get a sense for this product’s performance is to read reviews for the Core M3 powered Surface Pro 4. Take about 80-90% of the SP4 M3 performance, and you’ll have the Compute Stick’s performance. You’ll see how for 90% of users, it fits the bill for web, office, and general multimedia purposes. I hope we find Core M powered smart screens in our future – the chip is a solid piece of kit by Intel.

UPDATE: Upon further research, it's clear this thing is NOT in the same class as the Surface Pro 4 M3 version. The TDP limit within the SP4 M3 is 9-watts, because of a superb passive cooling system. The compute stick is likely capped at 4.5 watts. This can have upwards of 25% impact on performance, especially with the HD515 iGPU. The more I read up on the SP4 - the more I realized how solid MS engineers did in thermal engineering and really stretching the M3 beyond what most manufacturers are doing with the Core M3 processor (capped at 4.5 watts, or other significant thermal throttling).

My bottom line recco right now – unless you have a specific need for something this small, I’d recommend going for other SFF products like Intel’s NUCs or Zotac ZBOX. The 64GB of eMMC is slower than you’d expect and is just a bit too cramped for desktop class use. If you plan a highly specialized use for this, you’ll find a capable machine. For those who want maximum portability, please consider the size of the AC adapter and cabling as well. For those seeking fully feature web browsing, MS Office, highly adept media playback, and desire to play 1-2 older triple A steam games – the compute stick works wonderfully.

Next year’s variant will likely include 128GB and 8GB RAM with better cabling – that’s the unit to look out for! But this is finally a stick worth using every day without compromise that feels like it punches above its weight.

The PLUS:

- Solid Wireless network radio – was able to latch onto and keep my 5GHz signal across the house
- Was able to do steam in-home streaming, Xbox game streaming, and PS4 streaming without major issue
- The M3 is an incredible chip considering its low TDP – apps and office programs opened as quick as my quad core skylake desktop
- HD515 iGPU works for some older games @ low. I played Civilization (20-30fps @ 1080P)
- 4MB of RAM is much better than 2 in other Compute stick products for multi-tasking
- 3 USB ports is solid for a device this tiny, plus the micro-SD card slot for storage expansion
- Flawless 4K video playback in YouTube (in Chrome no less!)
- TINY – portable highly useful device that doesn’t feel compromised in power

The NEGATIVES

- USB-C cable is clunky, thick, and unwieldy, they could have at least packaged it better
- Fan usually runs most of the time – it’s only audible when it sits within a couple feet though
- 64GB of storage still feels cramped; at this price 128GB would have been amazing
- The 64GB Storage runs fairly slow – I checked 150MB R/W and around 20MB R/W for 4K – this is slightly better than a 7200 RPM spinning disk, but nowhere close to SSD speeds
- I did have one BSOD in use, and some issues with the device going to sleep and resuming forcing a windows reset – likely some immaturity in drivers/BIOS
- PRICE - $400 bucks is a lot to ask for this, as solid as the hardware is. A NUC is a better choice with i3 ($289), 8GB ram ($35), storage ($42 for 120 M.2) = $366, and a windows 10 license ($99) if needed

While that list of negatives looks extensive, I’m being pretty critical but only docking one star. Overall the compute stick is amazing piece of technology given its size.

Tiny power house.

My number one computer. Goes with me everywhere now. Streams 4k at work for presentations. Huge spreadsheet. Word processing all day. Draws like 5 watts of power. Everyone that see it loves it. This thing is very zippy compared To my surface 3. Even video recording and Editting has been a pleasure.

Update: 03/31/2017 All is well
I finally finished all the work I was doing and decided to try updating the Compute Stick.
I started with a fresh F8 restore.
I did not set up a network link.
I installed the latest drivers and bios etc. from intel which I had saved to a usb drive.
When Installing the drivers etc...NO MicroSD card installed. Only a keyboard and mouse plugged into the stick.
I transferred the bios files etc to the drive in the stick and unplugged the usb drive.
All went well all driver, bios etc went in fine.
I rebooted several times and everything seemed fine.

I then set up my wireless network link. Logged in to my Microsoft accout
and ran update.
All updates install correctly.
Rebooted when complete and everything seems to be working fine now.

Access to usb drives and microSD work fine now. Sleep/Reboot/Shutdown all is working well.

SO....I am once again happy with my intel compute stick!!
Update: 11/12/2016 Windows Updates are causing terrible things to happen.
Intel is scrambling. Bios updates, driver updates. Still having problems accessing drives at times. Power Off, Sleep, etc. very flaky.
No real way to stop Windows 10 insanity unless you do an OS restore from bios and then NEVER allow network access.
At this point that is what I'm considering doing. I still want to take a self contained PC with me to do presentations.

ARGH!

Doesn't like running off battery -

Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2018

Verified Purchase

I needed a computer for my astronomy hobby and had an Azulle PC Stick already but I was looking for something more powerful and I bought this one. The computer comes with windows Home edition and you cannot use Microsoft Remote Desktop to remote into it. I have upgraded mine to windows Pro and I can remote into it and it runs all my applications flawlessly. But it doesn't like running from a battery even if the voltage is right and even if ample amperage is made available to it. The AC/DC converter that comes with it is pretty clunky as well and it does act as a usb hub, which is why the power cable is so darned thick. I don't care much for the design of this, it almost needs to be wrestled with all the thick cable and the clunky power supply. I would by an Azulle instead of this one especially if you want to run it off battery and my Azulle works flawlessly.

Reasonable price for a full featured home computer.

Reviewed in Canada on November 2, 2017

Verified Purchase

We wanted to have a simple computer in our living room for doing our taxes and writing the he occasional e-mail. Our flatscreen TV is old enough not to have an on-board computer, so I read a few reviews and bought this little system. I really like the convenience of the preloaded Windows 10 software, and the bundled hardware/software package was very economical.
As with any new computer, one must get the device set up, but this one seems to be very well designed for ease of use. We have not tested any of it’s limits so far, and may post further reviews later. For the time being, it appears to be just what we were looking for!
