Not a Flash Drive Intel Compute Stick Is a Small Windows Based PC



Super-tiny computers are no longer new, and Google has popularized the concept first with Chromecast. And in the midst of the furor over Intel's announcement at the 2015 CES event the disclosure of the Intel Curie module to the official launch of the Broadwell processor, a new minimalist design device deserves your attention.

The device is named Compute Stick. Maybe at first glance, it looks like a USB flash drive. The shape is a bit elongated, because the Intel Compute Stick is not a thumb drive, but a compact mini computer that is easy to hold or put in a pocket not on a computer in general. The manufacturer calls Compute Stick a new generation of compute-on-a-stick devices, offering 'typical Intel' performance and quality.

What is the purpose of Compute Stick made? From their explanation, Intel blends it as an economical PC option, and is more practical to carry anywhere. For ordinary consumers, it can be used in streaming media, lightweight productivity functions, browsing the web, accessing social networks, to enjoy games. It also features small-to-medium business features thanks to Windows Remote Desktop and the simplicity of the plug and play concept.
The Compute Stick roughly has a body the size of a gum wrap and is the size of a flas drive. Outside there is an HDMI port, micro USB and of course the power button. Intel compresses a fairly capable hardware combination, especially in the Windows 8.1 version. This device takes power from an Intel Atom Z3735F Bay Trail quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. He did not forget to be provided with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0.
In theory, it can be used to enjoy a number of modern 3D games such as The Sims 4, or Crysis with a little 'coercion'. Intel gives a little clue that the newer version of Compute Stick will be armed with Broadwell Core M CPU. Other alternatives have been prepared, namely the Ubuntu Linux version. The specifications are lower, there is 1 gigabyte RAM and only 8GB of storage.

Intel hopes that the Compute Stick can also be a low-power solution for developers to create digital kiosks without the complicated installation process, as well as making it easier to send HD content either streaming or static to any display medium.
