There are number of portable devices that turns your television into "smart tv" but they are cost-effective. Now, Intel has launched a "Computer Stick" which is full of Winodws 8.1 PC on a portable USB Stick.
Revealed at CES 2015, the Intel Computer Stick is a Windows 8.1 computer in the slim body of an HDMI 1.4a dongle media streamer, like the ChromeCast and Amazon Fire TV Stick.
The Computer Stick comes with quad-core Atom Processor, 32GB Memory, 2GB RAM, WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity. There is also Linux based version with half of the RAM. The Windows 8.1 stick will be available for $149 and the Linux stick for $89 respectively.
The left side of the stick has micro USB port to charge the device, a small power button and a full USB port for peripheral connectivity.
While the Compute Stick’s lower-end specs likely won’t replace anyone’s main home or work computer, it’s an affordable price for sprucing up the living room television with desktop functionality.
The Intel Computer Stick will begin shipping this March. So be ready to turn your TV to a "Smart TV" in a couple of months.
