I'd probably use this if I had a portable screen and mouse. 

Wishing leads to ambition and ambition leads to motivation and motivation leads to me building an illegal rocket ship in my backyard.

Which is great, it gives LTT a chance to make money on a different platform. Also allows users who are willing to pay for advertising free videos. But I'm willing to wait a week for anything Linus puts out.

x86 vs ARM and Linux, Windows ( maybe OS X ) vs Android.

I think it would win ( the compute stick ).


But I would always go with Asrock bee box over any tiny PC.

Intel wants it to be "portable"? Good luck bringing along a keyboard and mouse 50x the size of that compute stick.

Almost made it from WAN show to WAN show back to back without an interesting video, then you go and ruin it with this at the nick of time  :o

In case the moderators do not ban me as requested, this is a notice that I have left and am not coming back.

The Compute Stick is a tiny computer, yes, but does it add anything new compared to existing Android-based HDMI sticks??

. Hey linus do you think Intel could make this into something bigger?

A GTX 970m beast of a gaming device on a stick perhaps?

They have a small box style (Brix/NUC).

Why didn't you actually test this for game streaming instead of just saying you assume it will not work?

Anyway I have on order a tablet with the same SOC (cost 2/3 of the price of the compute stick), I of course plan on trying both streaming and native games. Thankfully there are tons of old games that will work just fine, the question is how new games can run, not if they can run.

If it's for portable use, I rather use a laptop or a tablet. You still need a screen of some sort to do anything, what if you didn't have somewhere to plug in available, outside or in an older vehicle for example. For in an office doing word processing and browsing, sure but otherwise it seems fairly limited.

Real computers have ports.

Luke repeated himself a few times, "Plug it into a library.. no wait, not sure if you can do that"  1 min later, "plug it into a hotel screen or a library monitor" .

 

Hate to say it, not a very interesting video. Sounds like a paid advert you get in late night tv or just a filler episode while you make an iwatch review.

I see this to be real pointless "portable" device .  First of you have to carry a keyboard and mouse around then somehow get them to connect to the pc ether via usb or via bluetooth . Then connect it to a screen of somesort .

my sis has a wireless keyboard with tuochpad instead of numpad, works form a single connector, i could see that come to it's full potential with something like this.

May the light have your back and your ISO low.
