GPElectronic Intel® Compute Stick is a device the size of a pack of gum that turns any HDMI* display into a fully functional computer running window 10:

Same Operating System

Same High Quality Graphics

Same Wireless Connectivity.

All this in a PC on a stick that measures 4.5 inches from end to end, and is ready to compute right out of the box.

Features:

Built for Performance

While the Intel® Compute Stick is small in stature, it's what’s inside that makes the biggest difference: a choice of Intel Atom® or Intel® Core™ m processors with up to 2 GB memory and 32GB of on-board storage.

Sized for Convenience

It's not like a computer. It is a computer. Same operating system, same high quality graphics, and same wireless connectivity as a full-sized computer. Totally different dimensions.

Ready Out of the Box

Pop it out of the box. Pop it into your TV. Go. It’s that easy to transform any HDMI* TV or monitor into a computer.

Cool Under Pressure

Who wants to pay for a processor and not get all the performance? The Intel® Compute Stick features a tiny, quiet cooling fan inside to enable reliable, and fast performance without overheating.

 

The Benefits of Efficiency

The quad-core Intel Atom® processor delivers max performance but uses minimum power—making the Intel® Compute Stick both space and energy efficient.

Portability and Power

A Intel® Compute Stick powered by the Intel® Core™ m processor offers the flexibility of having the power of a PC in a device that fits in your shirt pocket.
