The PC stick works well right out of the box. It is quiet and fast and handles the tasks such as web surfing, video streaming and simple graphics with ease. I connect the PC stick to a 27-inch Dell monitor and the portable Bluetooth keyboard I bought. One thing I really like about the PC stick is that it has micro USB port for powering, allowing it to connect to power banks without the need of using a power adapter, and this has worked flawlessly in my hand. Although I am currently connecting the PC stick to a large monitor, I plan to buy a portable monitor in the future to go together with the PC stick. With the potable keyboard, portable monitor and a power bank, I can see that I will use the combination to replace laptops when I am traveling or away from my desktop PC.
Was pleased with this device. Purchased 128gb micro SD card and a wireless keyboard and loaded up my applications including antivirus software. Computer/TV.
This mini pc design is very small. The installation is very convenient. The Windows10 operating system is very smooth. The Wi-Fi link is very stable. I like it very much. I linked this mini pc to my old TV. Now put My TV has turned into a smart computer TV. Very good, I like it very much.
I am a girl who works as an accountant in a company. As a newbie, I need to manipulate a lot of excel files during work time. I have no problem in doing this in my office, but when I come back to home, I found my Mac has some incompatibilities with Microsoft excel. Then my boyfriend recommended me this amazing product, I can easily plug it in a monitor which is much cheaper than a PC and doing the some work at anywhere. Thanks for it!
I was worried about buying a mini PC because I didn't know how well it would work but I must say I am very impressed by this little thing. The startup time was actually very fast compared to the other PC's in my office and is great for presentations. I was happy it didn't overheat after using it for 8 hours straight. Honestly, there is no downside to this product, especially at such a reasonable price. I will give a 6-month update to let you know how it withstands over time!

I do not write a review unless I like a product so much that I have to tell people about it or I hate it so much that I have to tell people about it. This one is the former.
Long story short. I always have to lug around 2 laptops between 2 offices. My main laptop is permanently confined behind the firewall. I need a second laptop to stay in touch with the civilization. The first laptop to fulfill that role was a clunky old HP Envy. At ~5 lb, it was more than a hassle. It was soon replaced by a dell XPS 13 ultra book, i7, 4k screen. A bit pricey but does everything perfectly except for watching 4K videos, which it would pause once every few seconds to cache. My internet connection is not quite up to snuff.
Recently I have been trying to leave the XPS 13 at home. My phone can do many things it can do except the phone apps are not keyboard/mouse friendly and most of what I do is typing on the keyboard for hours on end. So I picked this one to see if it can reduce my bag by 3 lbs. And the answer appears to be yes.
You bet the first thing I do when I get this W5 is to try out the 4k resolution? No issue. 4K video? Uoutube does not give me that option! But it turned out to be a limitation for IE. Install Chrome and the 4k video plays just XPS 13, it also pauses once every few seconds to cache, and pauses a bit longer than XPS 13. But this has an Atom processor and that one has an i7 processor and costs 4-digit. I am beyond satisfied. FHD video plays smoothly, nothing worth mentioning.
I save my files on a NAS. Sync the files and I am good to go. 90% of my use is web browsing and Youtubing. The web browsing experience is so indiscernible from the XPS 13 that I have to look at the file explorer to be sure which machine I am on while switching back and forth setting up this dongle. After a while, I forget that I am using a dongle. It feels more like a decent laptop or desktop.
You will feel the pinch once you use up the 64 GB space. But it is a non-issue for me. I save my files on an NAS and sync'ed to the cloud. If I ever need additional space. I will buy an A2 rated microsd.
Now the pleasant surprise. The system is win 10 Pro as opposed to win 10 Home. This unlocks one thing I had to bend over backwards to add on XPS 13, Remote Desktop, plus a few other goodies like disk encryption! This is way more than what I bargain for! Just for the fun of it. I put on the whole set of Java development setup. CYGWIN, GIT, MAVEN, ECLIPSE, and built a project on it:

Verdict: Very decent PC. Capable of doing everything I can do with my i7 XPS 13, plus some that I can't do there (due to win 10 Pro), in very satisfying performance. Good enough for Java development.
Have used now for a while. Fully functional windows 10 computer, portable, plug it into any television set and lol you have a functional computer. Has USB provision for external mouse, keyboard and flashdrive. Quite a useful gadget. You can stream games from your Xbox One to the Compute Stick that Intel’s gadget could never dream of playing on its own. So that’s pretty cool, and it actually works well; I noticed some latency here and there, but Xbox games were never unplayable. In fact, it’s a pretty convenient (and cheap) way of streaming Xbox in another room of your house without buying a second expensive PC.
For $159, Intel’s Compute Stick is a pretty neat gadget to carry around with you.
Really nice mini PC. It comes with 64Gb of Drive and 4GB for Ram. It's just enough to run Windows 10 and HD video. I use it with HBO and Netflix and no lags or skipping, and this is really important for me. I don't think iot would be enough for hard multitasking with MS Office of Photoshop kind of software, but it's great for streaming and make my TV 'Smarter'. It comes with a little fan that you cannot hear when you are watching a show but it might be annoying if the Mini PC is always on at night, but even though, 5 stars. I would definitely recommend this product.
This is an awesome windows 10 stick. I wanted a computer on my workbench but I didn't have the room. I mounted an old 32" 1080P TV to the wall and plugged this into the HDMI port. I then bought a Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse combo. this is perfect for my needs and came with Windows 10.
