Title: PC on a Stick!
Post by: Ken on July 01, 2015, 09:19:47 PM
I first saw this story when Bloc posted about it over on TinyPortal. (http://www.tinyportal.net/index.php?topic=35467.0)

Kind of interesting, so I did a Google and found that several companies are getting into this market and the lowest price that I saw was $99. This could very well be the next Big Thing in the computing world.

In theory it sounds good but with only 2gb memory what Windows programs can you actually run well? Probably just the stock one cause a lot of programs you like to install that are not from Microsoft will probably require a least 4gb, if not 8. I'll wait for some other guinea pigs to try it first.
