If you need a computer that you can literally bring around anywhere, the ASUS VivoStick PC (TS10) is something that you can check out. All you need is a monitor with a HDMI port, a mouse and keyboard – and you have a complete PC in something just barely bigger than a lighter.

Enough Productivity Performance
If you are looking for a gaming machine on a stick, you are fresh out of luck. However, the VivoStick PC is perfect for light productivity, or as a streaming media centre PC in the living room. Plug it in, connect to your WiFi network and stream your content on your large TV.

Eye-catching Design
Who says a productivity machine needs to look boring? The VivoStick PC is far from boring. The slim design, compact size and high performance for its form factor means that this will fit in nicely anywhere you want to put it. It even comes with a cradle in the box if you want to mount it on the side of your monitor or TV.

Points to Ponder

Point 1: Enough I/O
You get two USB ports – one USB 2.0 and one USB 3.0 – for all your data transfer, and a HDMI male connector for your screen.

Point 2: Small & compact
You know this computer is small when there is a lanyard hole as part of the design – no other computer has that!

Point 3: Silent-ish
The Vivo Stick PC has a fan to cool it down, but it is quiet at idle. Only at full load you will hear the blades spin.

Verdict:  When Intel first showed its stick PC design, many think that is the limit of looks and usability. ASUS upped the ante by adding an extra USB port, and slimmed it down a bit more.
