That sounds pretty interesting. Hoping they don't keep these priced too far above the hobbyist price point.
- RandomOpinion 10y agoPer the Ars Technica article someone else posted to HN (http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2017/01/intels-compute-card-is-a-pc-that-can-fit-in-your-wallet/ http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2017/01/intels-compute-card-i...), these are said to be the replacement for the currently available Intel Compute Stick devices (http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/compute-stick/intel-compute-stick.html http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/compute-stick/intel-c...). At least to me, that suggests that they will retail for around the same price range as the Compute Sticks: $150 to $500, depending on the model.

- achow 10y agoGizmodo says.. There’s no word on pricing, and Intel stresses that although anyone can buy a Compute Card when they’re available, you will still need to build the dock to power the device and cool it, and that will likely be outside the realm of possibilities for your average tinkerer. http://gizmodo.com/intels-incredibly-tiny-compute-card-could-soon-run-your-1790826525 http://gizmodo.com/intels-incredibly-tiny-compute-card-could...
- lightedman 10y agoThe average tinkerer would just slap a heat sink and fan on it, power that fan with a 12V wall wart, and rig up the power and data connections, dock be damned.
