Those Intel Compute Sticks are pretty cool and can plug straight into a hotel room TV. Pair that with a bluetooth keyboard/mouse and it can be a solid experience. I don't know if they still update them...

I have an intel compute stick that came with Widnows 10. It has 32GB of internal storage, the issue is the newest windows update wont fit on the silly thing. I got around it buy attaching a usb drive for the update and that left very little romm for ANYTHING. I did put ubuntu on it and it is better. But still tight.

Still cheap and fun to play with.

You can supply your own 64 GB SD/eMMC card and set the bios to boot from that.

Mine is a cheap one, it does not have an external sdcard slot. It just has the internal 32GB, 1 usb3 and 1 usb2 slot and the HDMI port (and wireless and bluetooth). So i could boot from an external USB, but that kinda kills the point of the computer stick :)

Expensive but they are pretty solid.

Is there a way to use an Android device as a PC by plugging in kb, mouse, and display?
