A Windows 11 Pro PC in a stick? I had to try it and I was pleasantly surprised at how it performed.

Thanks for the review! Doing a small project where I will just be streaming KZfaq videos or music. I was unsure how good this would actually be for that. Looks like it’ll be perfect! Thanks

@MrDavidlfields Жыл бұрын

Devices like this are perfect as a guest-room email, Facebook, & KZfaq machine. I can see this as something provided to granny or someone less technically savvy as well.

The only advantage I see in this over a typical mini pc is that you don't have to carry around an HDMI cable.

Okay, I know nothing about these but am I correct in thinking that you can plug it into a Monitor or TV then use a wireless Keyboard & Mouse to use it as a compact PC in tight quarters like an RV ?

Correct.

I recently purchased one of these units and can attest for lightweight computing (e.g. internet surfing, email, text editing, office apps), this device works adequately. I have it configured to match my desktop PC and use it for portable computing when I don't wanna carry my laptop (e.g. going through airport security). With wireless input (keyboard and mouse) and an LCD panel at my destination location, I can plug this in and function as if I am in front of my home computer. I will endorse that simultaneous use of video streaming DOES IN FACT impact smoothness of performance, for example, if I am in a video call and trying to document notes during the call, text input can be laggy. I would NOT recommend using this device for graphics or video editing.

Looking for something I can just use to surf the internet and check e-mail and can attach to my roku smart tv. I can use my tv itself for video streaming like youtube. So no over heating issues just doing web browsing? Have you continued to use this computer stick over the long term? Any idea how it holds up?

@jeradhilltech Жыл бұрын

This would handle that well. I didn't have any overheating issues even when running Minecraft.

Interesting product. Given that its running windows, I take it that it would also need regular updating and restarts, anti-virus, etc. Too bad power is so weak but I suppose for single tasks like displaying a power point or playing a looped video enough. Not sure if its worth the $186 black Friday price though. Seems like a Raspberry Pi 4 is a better buy even it that was a few dollars more.

In this day and age of smart TVs, computers easily hook up to internet--seems like an expensive redundancy,. Though I did see someone in comnments mention that it could hook up to motel TV for greater flexibility in TV viewing.

Its small size and low price appear to be its only virtues beyond laptops, which can just as easily be linked to external monitors and keyboards. I have a friend who is blind and obviously doesn't require a monitor. The Windows operating system has narrator, and probably could run Jaws as well, both of which are text to speech facilities.
