Intel’s new HDMI Compute Stick is actually more than just a Chromecast rival, as it does much more than just streaming Netflix movies. The $149 Compute Stick basically transforms your ordinary TV into a powerful computer.
Powered with a quad-core Atom processor, 32GB of internal storage and 2GB of RAM this tiny stick brings juice to run Windows 8.1 apps on your TV. Also with support for more features including a USB port, WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0, the Intel Compute Stick is probably closest thing we have for an affordable living room computer.
