When Intel initially introduced its Compute Stick – a full-size pendrive PC – it caused great rage among users, since then it could not carry every PC in your pocket and connect just about anywhere, from there it only needs an HDMI and USB port to work
Many manufacturers like ASUS are following in their footsteps and introducing themselves versions of this Compute Stick, even though since leaving these products they have forgotten, without any updates or new models … until now.
The ASUS VivoStick TS10 is more powerful than ever
Originally, the VivoStick TS10 had a Cherry Trail processor with 4 Airmont cores, specifically the Intel Atom x5-Z8350, which was accompanied by 2 GB of 1600 MHz LPDDR3 RAM and 32 GB of eMMC storage. The updated model (TS10-B174D) comes with the same design and same processor, but in this case it comes with 4 GB of LPDDR3 memory and 64 GB of eMMC storage, so basically ASUS doubles with its RAM and internal storage (which, remember, has a speed of 150 MB / s).
In addition, the first VivoStick factory has offered Windows 10 Home, but now ASUS will sell it Windows 10 Pro so that more advanced users can perform many advanced functions that are not allowed in the home version of Microsoft operating system. By the way, the device has two USB Type-A ports (2.0 and 3.0), and a small USB USB port for power and a combo minijack, in addition to the HDMI 1.4 which is its main connector.
The original VivoStick TS10 was designed for consumers and SOHO systems, and in fact many stores continue to sell it as a multimedia television tool because if something better than Windows 10 is its flexibility when it comes to handling all kinds of applications.
However, this updated version with great power and comes with Windows 10 Pro seems to be focused on a certain number, because this version of Windows allows among other things add a computer to the domain, so I would seek acceptance of the business sector. In any case, being a more powerful team will still be relevant and for home users who just want to have one A small multimedia PC connected to a TV.
In the meantime, ASUS has announced this updated Japan VivoStick TS10, but they haven't said anything about the sale price or availability date, not even in Japan. That said, the fact is that it's amazing to see a manufacturer like ASUS update the device introduced three years ago, so it will be interesting to know what plans they have for this organization.
