This thing is amazing! Out of the box I had no problem at all. First before I powered it up I plugged in a GOOD Logitech USB/Keyboard combination dongle into one of the USB ports on the side... Not sure if it was the 2.0 port or 3.0 port but I don't actually care it's just a keyboard and I'm not planning on plugging anything else in. I used the little HDMI dongle to plug it into my projector mounted on my ceiling. I had to use the included dongle extension because I already had an HDMI cable plugged into HDMI1 plug on my projector and there was not enough clearance to plug this in also... if I didn't have the other HDMI in there it probably would fit and not need the extender. Once every thing was plugged in I made sure the projector was selected for HDMI2 and then plugged in the power supply. The picture came right up and listed a couple of function keys I could press to get into the bios or whatever. I just let it go and didn't press anything... after a few seconds it began to boot windows 10 with what looked like the first install screen you get with a fresh boot of windows.... "Welcome, getting things ready, etc.. whats your wifi and password, etc.." In no time at all it connected to my wifi fine and then went through the standard "we need to apply some fresh updates blah blah" I just let it go. A few minutes went by and I think an auto reboot after the updates and after a few more "first time booting your new windows question" the familiar windows 10 desktop on a PC came up. That was it... by default it uses "Edge" which I don't like but it was easy enough to turn that off and get things set back to internet explorer like I like. A few more tweaks and this was shared on my home network, had my wifi printer up and working, adode reader installed and changed over so pdf's open with it instead of the default "Edge" Played a couple videos, streamed a few tv shows from xfinity live tv viewer, Netflix, amazon prime video and everything worked perfectly and no lag. Picture looks amazing on my optoma 1080p projector. I'm sitting here writing this review using this device right now. All of this is in my living room including my wifi router which is probably about 20' from the device and my keyboard/mouse combination is maybe 15' from the device and I have NO issues with range, connectivity, signal strength from either wifi or keyboard/mouse. I have 5 bars, the max, indicated on my wifi signal strength. Why on earth I just bought a $1500 dell laptop now is beyond me. This has everything I need and want to be able to do with a PC connected to my projector and none of the bulk or wiring needed to do that with a desktop or laptop. I know there are similar micro desktops out there probably a little faster but phooey on those at double/triple/quadruple the price! For the sound right now it is coming our of my projector which has a speaker in it and works pretty good. I certainly can turn up the volume so I can clearly hear anything just as good as any tv speaker could. the sound is coming into the projector via the HDMI plug so no wires or anything just plug and play to the projector via the HDMI. Ultimately I want the sound to come out of my surround sound speaker system that all my other components plugged into my projector do. To accomplish this my projector has an "audio out" jack on it which is the 1/8 plug type. I have an extra audio wiring schema run from my stereo to the projector I am not currently using should be easy enough to use that and get the sound from the audio out on the projector back to the stereo. I just need to get a really short 1/8 stereo wire so I don't have wires hanging all over the place from my ceiling as everything is hidden with wires I already ran from the stereo to the projector. As far as overfilling the screen goes a good tv/projector like mine allow me to adjust the image size to fit just like xbox games when you first play them sometimes have you adjust the screen size to fill the screen. Also out of the box my stick computer/windows 10 text/app size was set to 150% and was "recommended" I set that to 100% percent to take full advantage of the full screen size but that displays everything to small and so I set it back to 150%. There is no reason you should have to scale this back to a smaller resolution it's all in the settings. Update: Ran the audio out of my projector to my stereo via some wires that were already in my ceiling that were not being used and now I have complete setup to stream video, etc.. it worked perfeclty. Also I've read some others said "not good for gaming" I installed STEAM on this last night and it worked and looked fantastic on my projector.

At the Amazon price this is a remarkable TV streaming engine, but not without some significant caveats. I deducted one star for the following 3 issues that should have been corrected before the device was released for manufacturing: --USB 3.0. Using this port poses real problems. Many USB 3.0 devices when directly connected cause the WiFi system to completely stop working, as if some WiFi on/off switch had been switched to off. The system does recognize the USB 3.0 device that is plugged in to the port, there's just no WiFi. When the device is removed from the port, WiFi returns automatically and functions as well as before. I should add that it is not a matter of WiFi signal strength. My laptop, phone, and tablet all continue to report strong signals and continue to work well when the Compute Stick WiFi is down. See below for my work-arounds. --Display Set Up. For my older Sony HDMI 50" digital TV the Intel graphics setup control panel window calls for a default native resolution of 1920 x 1080. However, the video image that is displayed over fills the physical screen, as if the driver thinks I have a 55" TV, not 50". After some trial and error I found that a 1600 x 900 alternate resolution is the best compromise. Essentially I now have a 44" display on my 50" TV. I should note that the video from my cable box and dvd player both automatically fit to the screen exactly without any adjustment on my part. Intel support responded, "We have heard that some TV models don’t communicate well with the compute stick. In this case you need to contact the TV manufacturer to get assistance." My feeling is if Intel knows there is a problem, Intel should solve the problem. --The 'C' Drive. The 'C' drive is hard wired into the Compute Stick. By itself that's not a problem for me. My problem is that it's only 32GB. Memory chips are tiny. Why there isn't something like 128GB is very puzzling. If it had raised the price a few dollars, I would pay it. I have installed the maximum allowed 128GB micro SD card in the available slot. Now I must fuss with set ups to make sure the SD card is used as much as possible. So those were the rants. Now onto better stuff. About the USB 3.0. I found that by using a 3-foot USB 3.0 m/f extension cable, Cable Matters 2 Pack, SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Type A Male to Female Extension Cable in Black 3 Feet, the WiFi problem was pretty much resolved. The Intel brochure recommends that all USB connections be made with powered hubs. A powered USB 3.0 hub Anker USB 3.0 7-Port Hub with 1 BC 1.2 Charging Port up to 5V 1.5A, 12V 3A Power Adapter Included [VIA VL812-B2 Chipset] Black however, when connected directly to the USB 3.0 port on the Compute Stick, brought the WiFi down. When the hub is connected via the 3-foot extension, everything works fine and WiFi stays up and running. I tested a 4GB video file transfer from a USB 3.0 SSD drive connected to the hub to the micro SD card installed on the Compute Stick. It clocked at about 50 Mb/s. I have a couple of 6-inch extension cables on order to see if the length of the extension matters, and will update the review when I have something to report. More precise guidance from Intel would be very helpful. I could find none on their support site. I am using a Logitech K400 combination keyboard and touch pad (which I had left over from another project), with a unifying receiver in the USB 2.0 port and it works well. It appears that the keyboard must be turned on before the compute stick is turned on. Otherwise the unifying receiver must be removed from the port and then re-inserted. The system also works with Bluetooth keyboards, but I have not tested any. The Intel support site describes a bios upgrade that allows a bluetooth keyboard to interact with the Compute Stick while it boots. It then lists several tested bluetooth keyboards that work with the upgrade. Some do not. There is also Android and Apple software that reportedly allows the Compute Stick to be controlled from smart phones and tablets. Again, untested, but I plan to give it a try sometime. Until I need the USB 2.0 port for something I'll probably stick with the Logitech. This unit comes with 32bit Windows 10 pre-installed which I like. But it is Windows 10 so there is much early configuring to do. One other comment, the display is a large TV screen. Many of the fonts are too small to read across a room. Windows has adjustments for some but not all. I find myself sometimes holding the keyboard in my hand standing in front of the TV. I hope to use the device as a streaming machine to my TV to cut down with the hassles involved with other approaches which in some ways may seem simpler but are not if you are able to work with Windows. Early tests with YouTube, Amazon Prime, and Netflix have all been very good. Launch the browser, click on the bookmark, and there it is. Select your video, start, and click full screen. So far the Atom processor has not been a problem. So, despite the comments above I do want to leave readers with the overall impression that I am pretty darn enthusiastic about this product. It's just that while the box says, "Connect. Compute. It's that simple," it's not quite, "that simple." I wish it were.
