The evolution of
technology is getting more and more power in less space, helping the
proliferation of mini computers. This field offers many formats and
configurations although Intel has managed to set the tone with its Compute
Stick USB. The second generation is already on the street and we have analyzed
the possibilities of this PC Stick Windows
10.
Mini
Pc Windows 10 are gaining prominence in recent times
as they allow us the versatility of a smartphone anywhere with the only
requirement of having a screen with an available HDMI port.
Intel launched the
first version at the beginning of last year and due to the good reception in
the market a second edition has arrived with improvements in all the key areas.
Next, we will tell you a little more about its technical characteristics,
review its design, perform some performance tests and draw conclusions after a
few days of regular use.

characteristics
The second generation
of Intel Computer Stick has the Intel
Atom Cherry Trail processor to increase performance, Wifi ac to improve
wireless connectivity or Windows 10 Home installed as standard so we just have
to plug in and start using it. In addition, this is a summary of its technical

Box
and accessories
The Intel Pc Stick is presented in a box in
blue tones of reduced differences similar to that of the first version with the
technical characteristics on one side or the data related to the product number
and serial number of the device in the lower area. Once we open the box, we
have the Android
PC Stick in one of the sections properly packed
and with its HDMI port protected with a case.
In the other section of
the box we find the instructions, warranty certificates and accessories. The
Intel Compute Stick is presented with a microUSB power adapter that has several
plug sockets to connect it in different regions of the planet and an HDMI
extension so as not to have the device connected directly to the television or
monitor due to problems that this could cause.
Exterior appearance
Intel has not worked
much in the design with respect to the first version although we are not facing
a product to wear or that will be exposed. The Intel Compute Stick is simple,
straight lines and finished in black plastic. Together, it gives a feeling of
strength and resistance. Its size is correct if we have a complete PC, although
somewhat more elongated than the first version.
At
the top we have the two vents that allow cooling the inside of the device along
with the Intel logo and an LED that indicates that it is on and working. In
addition, at the bottom of this area we have the anti-theft slot. The back is
reserved for the serial number and all the logos for licenses, warnings, etc.
