Reviews around tv (4.68 of 5)

  • I certainly can turn up the volume so I can clearly hear anything just as good as any tv speaker could
  • The problem might have been the TV though.
  • For the money this was a great little purchase and a simple way to add computer perfprmance to my smart TV
  • For what I paid ($129) you will simply get the most capable Smart TV experience available today
  • it will turn a regular TV into a SMART TV for about $150 which was my plan.

Reviews around work (4.42 of 5)

  • Awesome little work machine for school work/workstation tasks can even play some retro games on steam and watch full 1080p videos with little to no buffer
  • This worked extremely well for 3 months running a family calendar on a kitchen computer hooked to an exchange account.
  • I installed CrashPlan on it, and it's working just fine for backing up my mom's computer over the internet.
  • Netfix, HULU, KODI, SMB, Nest, network streaming, Remote Desktop all work just like my desktop
  • These guys work decently well, they are understandably slow

Reviews around way (3.75 of 5)

  • It is a great way to add the web to any TV, or create a truly portable custom Windows environment that can be accessed through any HDMI display.
  • Very cool to stream games from xbox one or watch netflix but the only way to watch youtube is to use microsoft edge or internet explorer because google chrome takes up too much memory !
  • For now I have taken time off from trying to navigate the tangle of directions leading to the proper way to get the sound to work.
  • For the money this was a great little purchase and a simple way to add computer perfprmance to my smart TV
  • Encrypted storage is a nice way to protect your data, given how easy these compute-stick-type computers are to lose or have stolen.

  • When the CPU struggles (which is basically all the time!), the stick gets warm, and the fan kicks in (yes, even the Atom model has a fan!)
  • No matter how much I tried to optimize the browser and o.s., the stick would struggle to serve up the pages
  • A few things to consider before you buy this lovely little stick are as follows
  • Note: This review is for the NEW IMPROVED 2016 Intel Compute Stick

Reviews around performance (2.97 of 5)

  • I currently have both but will return the Lenovo for its poor Wi-Fi performance.(see my review of the Lenovo for details)This Intel also has 2 USB ports that work well and seem to be powered sufficiently to support an additional Wi-Fi device and wireless keyboard/mouse combo
  • The performance is good enough for basic computing tasks, such as web browsing, streaming video and playing older games where this meets the system requirements.
  • For such slow performance, I had expected this device to be at least cool and silent, but even that's not true
  • Low power use but the performance is good enough to handle HD streaming video without stuttering and I don't worry about leaving it on all the time
  • , it works!Although the processor is fine (a quad core Intel Atom unit), it only comes with 2GB of RAM, and this does tend to hamper performance

Reviews around drive (1.40 of 5)

  • not as fast as I thought.good for streaming but not perfect.
  • Upgrading to 5 stars from 4 since the only problem I had was related to the external hard drive.
  • I purchased a WD 1TB portable hard drive for documents and media
  • Instead of several hundred or thousand dollars, I purchased this, a wireless keyboard/mouse, and external hard drive

Reviews around windows (1.38 of 5)

  • I would give it a 5 star rating except I really don't like Windows 10 very much (but I guess that isn't Intel's fault)
  • not as fast as I thought.good for streaming but not perfect.
  • not as fast as I thought.good for streaming but not perfect.
  • This is one of the reasons I don't like Windows 10: they killed off a perfectly good Media Center Application so that they could sell this same functionality on the Xbox
