This 64-bit Windows 10 PC Is Smaller Than Your Phone

So-called stick PCs such as the Asus VivoStick PC (TS10) turn any TV or HDMI-equipped display into an all-in-one desktop PC.

That’s a natural fit for running Windows-only programs or plug-ins (like a VPN service to your corporate office) on a really big screen or as a PC to stream your movies and music. It’s also one of the easiest ways to carry a PC along with you in your pocket, since The VivoStick is much smaller than even your smartphone. It’s one of the newest compact PCs to dovetail off of the Intel Compute Stick project, and barring a flaw or two, it’s one of the better ones to boot (pun intended).

DESIGN AND FEATURES

Like most stick PCs, the VivoStick PC is compact and pocket-size. It measures a scant 0.65 by 1.42 by 5.31 inches (HWD) and weighs just 2.72 ounces. It looks like a fat USB memory stick, albeit with a wider HDMI plug on the end and comes with a cap to cover the HDMI connector when it’s in your pocket or bag. When you’re on the road, it’s a good way to keep yourself entertained (and in touch): Just plug the VivoStick into your hotel room’s TV, and you’ll be on the Internet in no time. You can use a third-party compact wireless keyboard/ touchpad combo or the free Asus VivoRemote app on your smartphone to control the system.
