I always get excited about these things, like the Intel Compute Stick line, but when I get them I feel like I'm having to work around the limitations of the cpu or integrated graphics. It kind of feels like the netbook push that happened about 8-10 years ago where you would get a computer that couldn't even run the OS much less do something productive on it. I just feel like, at least the base models, of these Intel products are just a bit under powered. I hope it isn't the case with this, because it looks awesome.
