For the money, I'd rather get one of the Kangaroo mobile desktops. They're specced the same as the compute stick, but are $60 cheaper, or for $10 more, you can get a model with 4 gigs of ram and 64 gigs of storage. The detachable dock is a bit weird, but if you're going to be swapping it between two places could definitely prove useful.

> for $10 more, you can get a model with 4 gigs of ram and 64 gigs of storage. Is that still the Kangaroo? I can only find one model listed on their site and I want one...

    Yeah, not sure why the higher capacity variant isn't that good bang for buck. If it included Win 10 Pro at that price point, I'd be all over it. Particularly, to be used to connect to DaaS.

    It’s got a 32-bit UEFI Bootloader which isn’t Linux friendly. Just like most compute sticks. I think even the Intel Compute Stick with Linux on it was limited to Ubuntu 12.04... I spent an afternoon once getting Linux to run on the Lenovo stick and an HP Stream 7. I returned them because I don't ever want to have to do that again. I can't even picture using one of these on a daily basis.
