These days having an Android smartstick jammed into the side of your TV is common place but up to now getting Windows 8 on there has been a process of connecting wires or using some form of screen mirroring software. Now however Intel has come up with the Intel Compute Stick which will come with Windows 8.1 or Linux pre-installed, all you have to do is plug it into your TV’s USB port.
The Intel Compute Stick has a quad-core Intel Atom processor with 2GB of RAM, built-in wireless connectivity, on-board storage, and a micro SD card slot for additional storage so not only will you have Windows 8.1 you will also be able to install plenty of apps and perhaps even some games will work fairly well too.
It is going to retail at about $149 and the Linux will cost you $89 but comes with only 1GB of RAM, so not bad in terms of pricing but still way more than a €39 Chromecast.
