Intel Compute Stick Reaches Retail
The Intel Compute Stick, a new pocket-sized computer based on a quad-core Intel Atom processor running Windows 8.1 with Bing, is available now through Intel Authorized Dealers for much of the world.
The Intel Compute Stick (STCK1A32WFC, STCK1A8LFC) can transform any HDMI display into an entry computer capable of working with productivity apps, playing local or streamed content, driving basic digital signage or enabling thin clients.
While the Intel® Compute Stick can fit in the palm of your hand, it’s what we fit inside of it that is truly remarkable. A quad-core Intel Atom™ processor and your choice of operating systems: Windows* 8.1 with Bing* or Ubuntu* 14.04 LTS.
The Windows version includes 2 GB memory, 32 GB of on-board storage and comes with McAfee® Antivirus Plus for comprehensive protection from Trojans, viruses, spyware and more. The Ubuntu version has 1 GB memory and 8 GB of on-board storage. Both devices come with Wi-Fi* and Bluetooth* for connectivity, a USB port to connect peripherals and a micro SD card slot for additional storage.
The Windows versionwill retail starting at $149. A Linux version with Ubuntu, available this summer, is expected to retail for $110.
More information on the Intel Compute Stick website.

I'm still impressed with how much they got into that confined space. Yet, it's not all that handy, since again you need a screen (with HDMI) all the time, as well as a power socket.

Hehe of course, for got that one. The only advantage of this pen pc over a cheap Raspberry Pi 2 platform is that it comes with wlan, and has Windows 8.1 on it already(Pi is said to get 10 as the devs are cooperating with M$).

Well the product page still says it needs a power outlet wall socket and an adapter like a charging device because of it's need of 2A current. Most USB ports (even those with special charging qualities) don't support 2A, merely 0.5 or 1 with the average USB port, or am I wrong there?

Modern mobile phone chargers can bring 2A, just have an eye on it when you buy one
Actually win10 on the RPi will probably without a GUI and not run most Apps, so it can't be compared (at the moment) with this Win 8.1 stick.
So for me this stick looks really nice as a media device to extend the TVs capabilities (like Netflix, Web browsing (with flash), Xbox video player, ...).

You can get that on battery pack, it is powered via USB port, so you get USB hub with additional plug.
There are stand alone light thin portable monitors (lenovo / acer / ...) which has USB for power and video, some can use HDMI while powered via USB.
Their plan to power this fully via HDMI in future is OK, but I would rather go for DP and have someone to make that display. But still it would be step back.
Because now, you can power it via USB, have it running and plug screen when you need it. This thing has low enough power consumption to live on battery for long time.
I can imagine even smaller and more power efficient version in advance RC models. and you just plug monitor to change programming of flight sequence.

If all you need is something cheap for browsing the internet and checking e-mail, there's nothing wrong with it.

Ah, I didn't know those 2A chargers are that common, wasn't aware of it My bad then.
What would I need win10 on the Pi for then if it's not really running Windows? This may sound like a stupid question, but what does it offer? Drivers?

Fairly nice review here: http://anandtech.com/show/9167/intel-compute-stick-review
What I miss to know, did they get any frame drops with 1080p60hz or not, the line was very close to the 85% mark, which would mean framedrops.
It offers a development platform, or maybe to start a single app when turning it on, like a kiosk mode, sensor station, webcam station, ...
You can develop with Windows development tools for it.

Plus for about 10 dollars i got a bt mouse, otg cable, 5-pack aaa rechargeable.

And that was the normal retail price for the current Intel CPU?

Perfect for those tight spaces.
I think some people tend to overlook the versatility a machine like this proposes in different situations. I imagine these being particularly useful in lower income areas/families/programs. I also see these used as a lightweight client for schools and libraries.
Sure you could get a tablet that will do the same. but then you're carrying a ten 8-13 inch machine around with you instead of one that could potentially fit in a wallet.
I have a MK802 that I use for travel. The MK802 doesn't compare in the slightest as it's just an android device with minimal hardward. But I have found it to come in very handy in many different scenarios. I use it as a mobile blockbuster/redbox/streamingbox.
My account got immediately banned for spam by putting up a link to a MeeGoPad to show that you could get the same device (with the same hardware) that could also dual boot android. Not real sure as to why. Anyway. It looks nice. I'd love to get one once I do more traveling.

I have really changed my outlook on Intel as of last year, they are not only holding up the high-end market but also the mid-range, enyty level and now everything else in between! I got my 1st Intel cpu G3258, looks like Amd is in for some hard times! I dont know what the hell they are waiting for?

When it goes for $100 I'll be buying one.
