Keep in mind when PCs needed mammoth desktop and tower cases? Now they fit on a dongle barely larger than a flash drive. And that suggests you can turn practically any monitor, TELEVISION or projector into a full-fledged Windows computer. You’ll need a couple accessories, but let’s start with the guts: For a minimal time, and while products last, Amazon seller FCMUS has the Terryza W5 Pro PC Stick for $12250 That wants clipping the on-page $10- off coupon and after that applying promotion code XRV9SVZU at checkout. Routine price: $179 Update: It appears this discount code has actually reached its maximum number of usages.

The stick plugs into an HDMI port and runs Windows 10 Pro. It includes an Intel Z8350 processor, 4GB of RAM, 64 GB of onboard storage and assistance for dual-band Wi-Fi. For growth it offers a set of USB ports and a microSD card slot.

That’s not a lot of horse power, however it ought to be adequate for fundamental computing, along with things like streaming Netflix or seeing videos.

You will, obviously, need a mouse and keyboard to opt for it. Here’s a quite slick rechargeable Bluetooth mouse for $1399 and a rechargeable Bluetooth keyboard for $1799, but those are just 2 options out of zillions. Want something more lap-friendly? Consider this Logitech K400 keyboard with integrated touchpad, presently on sale for $2499 It’s not Bluetooth, however, so you’ll need to compromise one of your USB ports to its receiver dongle.

I have not yet had the opportunity to test-drive the W5 Pro, however I’m intending to do so quickly. If you have actually used among these PC sticks in the past, struck the comments and let your fellow scrooges understand what to anticipate.
