Intel
has launched its Compute Stick mini-PC in India. The Window 8.1 variant
of the device is now available via Flipkart at Rs. 9,999. The company
has also launched an Ubuntu-based variant of the device, but it's not
available yet and there's no indication of price at the time of filing
this report.
The
Intel Compute Stick is basically a mini-computer
that connects to a HDMI port (like the one on your TV) and was first
unveiled
at
CES 2015. The Intel Compute Stick with Windows 8.1 is powered by a
quad-core Intel Atom processor with integrated Intel HD Graphics,
coupled with 2GB of DDR3 RAM. It comes with 32GB of inbuilt storage and
also bears a microSD card slot for storage expansion.
In terms of
connectivity, the Intel Compute Stick features a USB 2.0 port, Wi-Fi
802.11 b/g/n, and Bluetooth 4.0, and connects to TVs or monitors via its
HDMI 1.4a port. The Linux variant is identical to the Windows 8.1
variant, but features 8GB of storage and 1GB of DDR3 RAM.
Intel's
Compute Stick with Windows 8.1 appears to be identical to the iBall
Splendo PC-on-a-Stick, which was
launched
in June at Rs. 8,999. Intel also appears to be pointing to this, with
its launch statement saying the Compute Stick will be available via
iBall as well.
On the launch of the Intel Compute Stick, Rajiv
Bhalla - Director, Sales and Marketing - Intel South Asia said: "Intel
continues to look for great ways to deliver new product opportunities
for our end users and channel partners. The Intel Compute Stick takes
computing to the next level and helps deliver the best computing
experience possible in an incredibly small device. It brings computing
to new devices and environments, transforming the way, when and how we
compute. We are extremely pleased to bring this revolutionary device to
India."
