Intel Compute Stick STK1A32SC 32GB with Windows 10

Intel link

Intel® Compute Stick is a device the size of a pack of gum that turns any HDMI display into a fully functional computer: same operating system, same high quality graphics, and same wireless connectivity. All this in a PC on a stick that measures 4.5 inches from end to end, and is ready to compute right out of the box.

      Helps achieve your frustrations easier

    • +11

      you can compute on a stick

      • +3

        What can't you do with this?

        • +27

          Not compute on a stick

        • Run Crysis

        • This only has HDMI 1.4 so 4K@60Hz is unavailable.

    • +1

      Good price

    • like just browse or something

    • I wanted to build the ultimate all one in emulation stick with every console game and controlled via wireless keyboard and xbox controllers, for $#!ts n giggles.

      • sounds good but i have no idea how to do any of that so enjoy to the people who purchased

      • Goodluck with only 32gb of storage

        EDIT: Didn't realise storage was upgradeable, could be pretty sick

        • Nah, only retro emulators would work decent and you might as well get a rpi for those.

          • @ssquid: I mean this will still likely run stuff a decent bit better than a Pi (pi3 at least, don't have experience with a pi4), and at $50 it's comparably priced to a pi+case, with the pricing error anyway

            • @snep: Still far from being an "ultimate" emulator though, with only an iGPU and no 4K@60Hz.

    • Xbox!

  • +1

    Thanks but wont accept paypal, something about shipping method incorrect

    • Use their standard checkout, you can also pay with PayPal through that.

      • now instore only…

  • +9

    CPU from 2016, 32GB of non-upgradeable storage (although it does have a microSD slot), and 2GB of RAM. Windows 10 is going to run shockingly bad, but it could run a lightweight Linux distro fairly decently.

    • +2

      More information on Linux Install.

    • +4

      it's a 3 year old Atom chip, don't expect fireworks :)
      But ok for browsing internet and youtube. All about portability.
      I was running Plex server on it for a while.

      • +6

        Or do expect fireworks if you push it too hard.

    • +2

      It is a paaaaaain to get linux working on.

      Just don't bother honestly.

  • STK1A32SC has windows 10 pre installed?
    STK1AW32SC does, but I think this one doesn't…

  • No stock?

    • +4

      likely someone just purchased the lot to resell

      • Or pricing error? Seemed too good to be true

        • centrecomm got 21st anniversary sale going probably doesn't sell well at rrp & just clearing stock

  • Already Out of Stock online

  • No stock!

  • only 19 mins and it's Out of stock?

    but why the hack do i need this when i already have a desktop, phone, ipad, macbook pro and surface 6.

    • +7

      Don't underestimate the power of 19mins in ozbargain…

      • -1

        Goddamnit Broden. You've done it again!

  • Too slow for me.

    Just want to try to put Android on it.

    • plenty of cheap andriod sticks out there

      • Yeah I know just want to play around to put android on PC.

        BTW, any suggestion what Android TV box to buy? Better with 8.1 and remote.

        • Currently it still appears to be the Nvidia Shield, with the knowledge that a slightly updated one is expected to be released soon (so the current version might get discounted). Not cheap though. The Vodafone TV is $72 delivered direct from Vodafone, but there are mixed reports on reliability - some love it, some have issues. Same can be said for the Mi Box and the even cheaper android boxes out there.

          I wanted something now for the kids games room (to access Plex, HDHomerun, Prime, and Netflix), so rather than buy the current Shield I bought a Vodafone TV - should be delivered today so I guess I'll find out soon if I've wasted my money! If it's any good I might get one or two more (for the living room etc). If it's rubbish, I'll probably wait for the next Shield.

          • @PlasticSpaceman: VTV is fine unless you're the type of person who moans about not getting the latest updates (even though since Android TV 7 they have added nothing of value and caused more problems than they have solved).

        • Android emulation takes alot of processing power. UlV CPUs can barely run bluestacks let alone an atom.

        • Android for x86 is basically dead since Intel stopped supporting it.

          • @ssquid: They still have 8.1 r2

            https://www.android-x86.org/

            • @superforever: I don't mean the actual android-x86 project, I mean general support for Android on the x86 architecture. There were never any retail 64-bit x86 devices, there were a handful of 32-bit but they were all abandoned (including the Nexus Player) and soon won't be able to run new apps.

    Got one when there were no comments on this post, might put it inside my 4 bay SATA USB3 HDD enclosure, do a bit of wiring inside and turn it into a stand alone NAS with USB ethernet.

  • Bugger, missed this one

  • +14

    I got one, hopefully it can play Crysis.

  • Online changed to out of stock but Still showing stock available in-store would try calling if you need one

  • +4

    Just when u think u have everything u need in life

  • Should work well as an IPTV player on older TVs.

  • Bought one of these back in 2016 and after about 6 warranty claims due to the unreliable booting of them repeatedly I got my money back.

    I loved the concept and when it worked it was great but honestly every week I'd have a device that would power up but refuse to boot or display anything. Maybe the BIOS or drivers have updated but even at $49 I don't want to waste anymore of my time.

      sounds like gen1 , not this with z8300 cpu

      • This is a gen1 model. Gen2 models start with STK2.

        • +1

          STCK1 with atom z3735f , is the 1st variant released in 2015

          STK1 with z8300 , is the refreshed model released in 2016 + 2xUSBs

          STK2 is the core-M model which often costs double

      • This is the model I bought a straight copy and paste from invoice in my back and forth case with PCCASEGEAR: Intel Compute Stick STK1AW32SC

        Mine has the W acronym for the Wireless version but the one above lists wireless so 99% they are 1 in the same. At the time I did the claim PCCASEGEAR admitted I was not the only one having so many issues with it. I also had the STCK1 version with the older Atom and that was actually more reliable.

        • The intel site seems to indicate that the W version has Win10 pre-installed.

    Install linux and open office for your message board needs. That's the only use for this one.

    If I call store will they ship it to NSW?

  • -3

    Is this good for Photoshop and video editing and production?

    • +2

      No, it's an Atom CPU.

  • can this be used for pihole?

    • +2

      Why not just get a raspberry pi zero w?

    • +2

      You can just get a much cheaper Raspberry Pi Zero W (~$20) for PiHole.

  • can this be plugged into a LG smart Oled and install and use Philips Hue Sync to sync the philips lights behind my tv? any other easy suggestion? I currently plug my laptop hdmi into the tv and use the Philips Hue Sync, but my laptop struggles to play any 4k content on the tv.

    • This is no good for 4K, it's only HDMI 1.4 (can't do 4K@60Hz).

  • Can this play Crysis?

    • -1

      If I get one, I’ll install it and report back.

    • +1

      Yep, RTX ON - 8k @ 240fps.

  • +2

    Would this be able to run n64 emulator and roms? I have hundreds of old games that would be fun on a big screen with cheap PC controllers. Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros, Mario Party, Goldeneye…

  • +6

    Don't need it. Now sold out…. I must have one..

    Will it run Crysis? :D

  • That was fast.

    Went in store and was told price error. mark as expired.

    • makes me feel better on missing out

    • +4

      Is a neg vote valid for a price error. Just report and move on.

      • especially when its been honoured

        • Try is not the same as will

  • Dang back to $189, I could have actually used one of these. It has to be better than my 2005 ThinkPad.

  • +15

    I've got one of these sitting unused, in brisbane. If anyone wants - let me know and send me a pm.

    What I will request in exchange, is you showing me a proof of you donating $50 to a charity of your choice and I'll just give it to you :)

      • You know what they say about people who can't take a joke, right?

        • I don't think I've heard this one, what do they say about people who can't take a joke?

    • -3

      Does it have to be registered charity with ACNC? Does it have to be DGR?

      I consider myself a charitable cause so…

    • -3

      I’m a charity case
      Please see attached bank transfer from my bank account to my other bank account

    • +4

      I'll grab the receipt for my donation to The Human Fund.

      • +2

        Lol, I had to look up that reference to realise it was a joke charity.

    • -3

      I'm Brisbane, I can offer a hug (as long as you have no communicable diseases)

    • +1

      I'll take it! PM me and I can sort out the charity donation.

    • +2

      @Tech and cars followed through with their promise - absolute champion. I'll get some good use out of this thing!
