one of the surprise hits from last year's CES was the Intel compute stick tiny device about the science but chunky USB key did you can plug into any monitor or a television and turn it into a fairly basic desktop computer so of course this year we're back with the second generation of the Intel compute stick and I've got it right here still very slim very tiny it's basically got an HDMI output on one end right here and you plug it into the HDMI port on your television on your monitor the big improvements this time are that it has two USB ports instead of just one so if you want to connect a dongle for let's say a keyboard and a mouse and they're separate or a keyboard mouse combo and something else you have an extra port they're very handy faster Wi-Fi because it's got Anto 2011 AC instead of the older end and of course it's got an updated version of intel's anna processor so it should be a little bit faster still not going to be your all-day everyday computer now if you think this looks very slim and sleek and just plug it in and go but you do need a couple of accessories with it if you need some extra clearance to get the hdmi cable in it comes with an HDMI extender that's pretty handy and of course it needs power so you do have to have a little power brick and cable also so you gotta chain all this stuff kind of together but still hide it behind your TV still a fairly easy way to get streaming video or any other online stuff you want on your TV or on your monitor this guys going to be available now suggested retail price 159 dollars at CES 2016 that is the second generation Intel compute stick
