The website reads;

 

"A new Windows compatible HDMI TV stick has been unveiled this week in the form of the new Meegopad which is powered by a quad core processor."

 

"The Meegopad is available either powered by an Intel Atom Z3735F processor supported by 1GB of RAM and capable of running 32-bit software. Or with an Atom Z3735G processor supported by 2GB of RAM with the ability to run 64-bit software."

 

What this is a USB stick on steroids. This could be used as a media system, very very basic gaming and probably only doable on the 2GB RAM version.

 

 

There is also an Alibaba link with images of the innards of the unit;

In home streaming possibly?

Damn, I need one of those 2GB cards.

 

Any concrete evidence of Windows support? Other than the article, that is.

[EcoBoost]

Still 1GB?

Bit of a repost, but this one's nice too, since it shows the stick in the nude.

Didn't know there was already a post, I will link the 1st topic in an edit to avoid both or my topic being deleted. Thank you for the heads up!

If previous Atoms are any indication we're looking at hot, slow, and expensive once again...

WTF would this even be used for?

 

 

seriously....

In a way you can compare it with a Linux Pendrive, except that this is the pendrive and the PC hardware in one.  Just carry it around and turn any TV into your own PC.

  Sure, you'll need to carry Bluetooth keyboard and mouse as well as some way to power the stick (most TVs have a USB port, so a USB->microUSB cable should do the trick), but it does have potential. 

 

That being said, it's not for me, this thing.  I'll just carry a laptop and have a cable that connects it to the TV.  That way I already have my mouse and keyboard, and I can also use it without actually needing a TV.

yeah man...

In-home streaming, basic emulation, Basic PC usage (Surfing, Word Documents, Spreadsheets, etc.) ghetto NAS, ghetto server - There are a bunch of things I'm missing, but this sounds about right.

Can this play CS1.6?
