Intel Compute Stick mini PC/Media Player

Στην πορεία πιστεύω όταν θα μπουν και άλλοι κατασκευαστές θα δούμε και πιο προσιτές τιμές.
Όχι ότι είναι πολύ ακριβό για ένα mini pc σε μέγεθος ένα μεγάλο USB stick βάση αυτά που θα προσφέρει.

Όπως είπα αν αποδειχθεί αξιόπιστα σε βάθος χρόνου θα είναι εξαιρετική επιλογή που θα καλύψει μια σημαντική μερίδα χρηστών.
 
Κ εγώ το βρίσκω πάρα πολύ χρήσιμο ως συσκευή !
Δυνατό, μνήμη αρκετή, unix λειτουργικό κατ'εμέ, το παίρνεις πας εξοχικό και έχεις υπολογιστή εύκολα !!! :BDGBDGB53:
 
Εγώ πάντως βλέποντας αυτά τα μωρά (Ιntel και άλλα συναφή, Pipo X7 και άλλα συναφή) για ένα πράγμα είμαι πλέον σίγουρος: η επόμενη γενιά τους, πραγματικά, δεν θα έχει να ζηλέψει τίποτα από έναν τωρινό υπολογιστή μέσων δυνατοτήτων και ισχύος... αυτά που κυκλοφορούν τώρα τα θεωρώ κάπως πρώιμα, όλων κάτι τελικά τους λείπει, λίγο η ισχύς, λίγο οι θύρες / ευκολίες, ... και πάει λέγοντας

To NewEgg δίνει την έκδοση με Linux $40 φθηνότερα απο αυτήν με Win. Το υλικό είναι ίδιο άρα η διαφορά είναι το κόστος του λειτουργικού.

Τα Windows10 μάλλον θα είναι δωρεάν για RPi και τα παρόμοια.
 
Μελλοντικα λογικα θα δουμε πιο ισχυρες υλοποιησεις σε επιπεδο hardware,αλλα μενει να φανει στην πραξη απο την αποδοχη τοσο του κοσμου οσο και των κατασκευαστων.
Λογικα και στο amazon θα βγει για προ παραγγελια.

Intel PPSTCK1A32WFC Bay Trail-T Compute Stick Review
http://www.anandtech.com/show/9167/intel-compute-stick-review

[h=2]Concluding Remarks[/h] The Intel Compute Stick gave us the opportunity to see whether a tablet SoC could provide enough horsepower for a desktop PC. Based on our experience, the answer to that question is cautiously in the affirmative. There is no doubt that the device can do well as an economical solution for thin clients, kiosks and digital signage. These are scenarios where only one program runs for the life of the system and the OS is rarely updated.
​
The Compute Stick could do with some improvements for the scenarios in the left column​
Traditional PCs have a different use-case compared to PC-like embedded systems and that brings us to the first problem in the Compute Stick we reviewed:

  • OS drive size
32 GB, simply put, is just not enough after Windows installs a couple of updates. Out of the box, the system had around 17 GB free in the 23 GB disk (the rest, presumably, is the OS recovery partition). An initial update check resulted in a 1.3 GB download, and that installation brought down the free space to 14.3 GB. We have always been wary of Windows Updates on machines with low free space on the primary drive. As feared, attempting to install another round of updates resulted in a botched update problem (solved here). We had to spend 4+ hours getting the unit back to the initial state with a 'refresh' operation (and reinstall all the updates once again). To top it off, Windows lost activation in the refresh process and refused to reactivate (indicating a blacklisted key).

  • Thermal design / solution
There is no doubt that the thermal design is very effective. Acoustic measurements come in at 28 dB at 1m distance. However, the irregular nature of the small-diameter fan makes for a strained experience if the user sits very close to the Compute Stick (possible in an office environment). It would not be a bad idea to go for a passively cooled Compute Stick at the cost of a slight increase in cost, weight and/or size.

  • WLAN solution
The unit doesn't come with any wired networking facilities. It is essential that the Wi-Fi solution be top-notch. Unfortunately, a single-band 1x1 802.11n solution just doesn't cut it - particularly for scenarios involving video streaming. Thankfully, the presence of Bluetooth makes a USB keyboard / mouse unnecessary, freeing up the single USB 2.0 port for other purposes. Talking of video streaming, it would also be nice to have full HD audio support in the GPU drivers for Bay Trail-T (now that it has made its appearance in a mini-PC).
​
Despite the above shortcomings, the Compute Stick did impress us in a few areas - the form factor and portability aspects are praiseworthy. The CPU performance is not as bad as we feared it would be - Windows loads in a smooth manner and the system is as responsive as what one can expect from a Bay Trail-based mini-PC.
Coming to the business end of the review, we can say that the Intel Compute Stick is a typical first-generation product. In our opinion, there are way too many compromises being made to get to this form factor. There are certainly applications where the kit would be perfect, but general-purpose day-to-day computing is not one of them. If Intel wants the Compute Stick product line to take off like NUCs, addressing the three main shortcomings detailed above would be a good first step.

PROS

A full Windows PC for $150. As small and light as a candy bar. Plugs directly into an HDMI port in a monitor or HDTV. Can add storage via microSD. Has 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Quiet.

CONS

Just 19GB of storage available. Only one USB port. Incompatible with some USB 3.0 hard drives. Need a USB mouse to initially set up Bluetooth devices. Requires included HDMI extension cable in tight quarters.

BOTTOM LINE

The Intel Compute Stick is a full Windows PC that fits in the palm of your hand and can be used with any HDMI-equipped display. It's $150, easy to set up, and is the most portable computer you can buy.

What can you really do with it?
What you just read is more than enough about the Compute Stick's raw performance. Of greater concern should be just what you can really accomplish with the Compute Stick. Can you do anything of consequence with it? Yes.

You can run a real browser, install plugins, and stream 1080p video from any source. You can run Office just fine, and even Photoshop in a pinch. Generally you won't notice its limitations, but with 2GB of RAM, you won't want to multi-task too heavily or at all. You won't want to have 18 windows open in Chrome, for example. Running Outlook with Chrome and a chat client is about at the boundary of what you can do on it. It's essentially fine for basic computing tasks, with some patience.

So who the hell needs this thing?
Ultimately the Compute Stick is a new category of computing device. Just as Intel helped push mini PC's such as its NUCs into popularity, the company is hoping to spark some kind of unheard of usage model with stick computing.

What that is, I'm not sure. As an instant and fairly affordable way to make your smart TV actually smart, it's a win. Combined with a good living room keyboard and mouse, you can browse the web from your couch with a full fidelity browser capable of running all the plug-ins you need to say, stream NILF Island from your favorite off-shore, black-market web site. That doesn't work in 95 percent of streaming devices.

As a shirt-pocket PC, yes, it can work but it doesn't quite make sense. It's not like you'll keep this in your pocket, go to your friend's house and just "borrow" his or her TV. You still need a mouse and keyboard to use the Compute Stick and with a single USB port, you're forced to pick between the two. Maybe he or she has a Bluetooth keyboard. Or maybe you could also pack a folding Bluetooth keyboard and mouse but at that point, why not just pack an 8-inch Windows tablet instead for your emergency computing?

Still, this is uncharted territory Intel is operating in. As a complement to a TV or to make an old monitor "smart," I get it and at $150 with the OS, it's a deal. What I'm not clear on is the portability usage. Maybe that'll come to me but for now, the Compute Stick finds a good home on my TV.
 
Να είμαι ειλικρινής, θα ήθελα το Intel σε αυτή την περίπτωση.
Δεν είναι fanless οπότε μετράει η αξιοπιστία και η ποιότητα κατασκευής.
 
Δεν θα αργήσουμε οπως φαίνεται να δούμε και Core M αντίστοιχα προταση απο την Intel.
Next-gen Intel Compute Stick may feature Core M processor
http://liliputing.com/2015/05/next-gen-intel-compute-stick-may-feature-core-m-processor.html

Βέβαια η τιμή του θα ειναι αρκετα πιο τσιμπημένη αλλα οι επιδοςεις αντίστοιχα πολλαπλάσιες.
 
εγώ όπως είπα και λίγο παλιότερα, θα περιμένω την επόμενη γενιά... :ernaehrung004:
 
Και εγώ με το καινούργιο μου NUC θα μείνω, εννοείται αλλά πιστεύω πως την ποιότητα της Intel δεν την έχουν οι κινεζιές. Αν κάποιος δεν έχει HTPC/NUC ή σοβαρό player και θέλει να κάνει και smart την TV του μια χαρά είναι (προκειμένου να παίρνει τα ρασμπέρια και να ψάχνεται).
 
Ξέρει κανείς σας , αλλά με απόλυτη σιγουριά , αν το παραπάνω μηχανάκι παίζει flash ;
Ξέρω είναι αναχρονιστικό αλλά θα το ήθελα για να προβάλω μια συγκεκριμένη σελίδα μόνιμα σε μια οθόνη !

Κι εγώ έτσι πιστεύω αλλά λέω να πάρω ένα τηλ στην παραπάνω εταιρία αν μπορούν να μου το διασταυρώσουν γιατί και ακριβό είναι και είμαι και Θεσσαλονίκη !
 
Flash παίζουν. Το θέμα είναι πόση μνήμη έχουν assign στη κάρτα γραφικών (στο BIOS). Στο Pipo ήταν λίγη (16 ή 32 αν θυμάμαι καλά) και η απόδοση σε flash ήταν ψιλοχάλια. Αυτό που πρέπει να βεβαιωθείς είναι ότι μπορείς να κάνεις αλλαγή από το BIOS και να βάλεις 128MB. Μετά αέρα.
