Edit: For those not aware, think Chromecast running x86 OS, 4K compatible.

Chromecast is kinda of a sphere while this one is kinda of a rectangular prism so I don't know how they relate in size.

well it's almost the same thing. they both are basically a mini computer on a stick.

Can it run Crysis?

get a lattepanda enhanced version while it's still on kickstarter if you want a tiny x86/64bit computer. in my opinion it is worth it.

Well I was talking about size, so I don't see your point.

To be honest the $64 PC that was announced looks better in my opinion.

Still a similar format: HDMI male, compact enough to clip into the back of a TV quite easily. They're also physically about the same size give or take a bit.

lol just think about the original chromecast.

These compute sticks are very interesting, but far too expensive for me to justify. I'd much rather get something like a nuc to stick behind a tv/monitor.

ohhh... I feel stupid now.
