Intel has spared no effort in the development of PC miniaturization. Following the NUC, it released a smaller mini PC product, the Intel Compute Stick, last year. It was only slightly larger than the U disk, but it was running on the desktop version of Windows 8.1. HDMI can be used directly on the monitor or TV, attracting much attention.
There are a lot of similar products on Taobao, the price is only about half, but I very much doubt that the built-in U disk system is that most DIY players use free software to make U disk into a system of emergency disk, plus software can 8G storage is arbitrarily changed to false 32G, 64G, and it is scary to think about it.
The price of Intel Compute Stick preloaded with Windows is more than RMB1,000. The Asus Vivo Stick will soon become the first product of the same type to be sold on the market. The price is not yet confirmed. It is estimated that it will be much cheaper than Intel and the configuration is almost impossible. Changes, Intel should not have open configuration restrictions.
I prefer Intel's original box with vibrant colors, strong technology, and detailed product details and features. Asus Vivo Stick's all-black appearance seems to be awkward, not even the product name and shape, I do not know Is it the final retail version of the packaging.
The accessories are relatively simple, except for the power supply and the line, there is only one HDMI extension cable.
The Asus Vivo Stick measures 111 x 38 x 9.8 mm, which is a bit longer than Intel Compute Stick, but it's thinner. Now that U disk is generally small, you can't say that it's only a lap larger than U disk. Anyway, it's too much smaller than a mobile phone. It's easy for the soft sister to hold it in her hand, and referring to the position on the lower keyboard can make a rough impression. The surface of the molded case is mirror surface, which is easy to be contaminated with fingerprints and dust, and the material is soft.
There is a TF card slot on this side. Asus does not specify it, but it should support UHS-I. The bandwidth can reach 104MB/s. The maximum supported capacity is unknown, but I have no problem using the 64GB card. The middle part of the grid should be a cooling hole, compared to Intel's product on the surface of the cooling port is too much, does it mean that Asus's computer stick heat will be lower?
There is also a thermal vent on the other side of the corresponding location, in addition to the switch button, Micro USB 2.0 power connector, and the seemingly obsolete USB 2.0 interface.
HDMI has a maximum data transfer rate of 2.25GB/s. A 1080p video and an 8-channel audio signal require less than 0.5GB/s. Therefore, there is a large margin, which is enough for computer use. It is also very important to choose HDMI that audio and video signals can be transmitted at the same time without the need for an additional audio interface.
The shell of the QM1 is fixed by a snap, because the material is softer and easier to open and can be easily nailed with a fingernail, but there is a risk of damaging the buckle. There is one screw in each red circle.
Remove the screws, disconnect the WiFi cable, and lift the tail slightly to secure the PCB.
Both sides are covered with a small heat sink and the reverse side has a CR122 battery that powers the bios.
Heat sinks are not soldered, and the metal clips are opened. It is also very easy to remove. It is divided into two upper and lower pieces, which is a bit thin. After seeing the disassembly diagram of Intel Compute Stick, not only the surface area of ​​the heat sink is large, but also a cooling fan is installed in such a small volume.
The processor is Intel Atom Z3735F, using 22nm technology, four-core four threads, official data shows the basic frequency of 1.33GHz Rui Dui to 1.83GHz, but in the process I use only up to 1.33GHz, and both CPU-Z and AIDA64 Shows that the secondary cache is displayed as 1MB instead of the official 2MB.
The CPU's integrated display core, Intel HD Graphics, is responsible for graphics processing. It cannot read information normally in GPU-Z and AIDA64. The known data shows that the basic frequency is 311MHz, and the maximum speed can be accelerated to 646MHz.
Four 512MB chips make up 2GB of memory, and the specification is DDR3L-RS 1333. The maximum bit width of single-channel mode is 10.6GB/s.
Kingston's 32GB eMMC storage chip.
The BIOS from winbond has not yet been studied on how to boot from a USB flash drive to install the system.
AXP288D is an efficient and highly integrated power IC designed by X-powers and Intel together for multi-core systems.
Network chip and audio chip, support 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0.
No matter the monitor or color TV, as long as there is HDMI interface, it can be used normally, and the interface structure is not convenient. You can use the extension cable when installing. If there is no HDMI interface, for example, my DELL U2311Hb, you can also use the connector of DVI to use, but it cannot be used. Output sound.
The first time to enter the system will be initialized, the time is about 1 minute longer, after the boot does not exceed 20 seconds will be able to enter the desktop, but the slower when running, often Caton, I feel the hardware performance is relatively marginal. Win8.1 should be able to smoothly upgrade to Win10, if you can get the driver I would prefer to install WinXP. Baidu and Tencent have several built-in software.
Vivo Stick should be equipped with a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard as much as possible. The USB interface can be vacated. Connecting to a storage or a decoder is a good choice. It is just that USB 3.0 is very regrettable and can only hope for product iteration. After running for a period of time, the measured temperature was about 42.6 degrees.
The built-in storage is only 32GB, leaving only 20GB more than the system and software footprint. The era of TF card cabbage prices is used to facilitate the expansion and is cheap. With Crystal ran down the data, and then the use of different bit rate video measured under the experience, the playback software for Kmplayer, video files on the TF card.
Song of ice and fire, file size 3.2GB, resolution 1280 × 720, average bit rate 22Mbps, soft decoding, CPU occupancy rate of 40% or more, will be stalled after a few stalls.
Lost battle, file size 13.2GB, resolution 1920×816, average code rate 37Mbps, open hard solution, CPU occupancy rate of 10% -30%, playing smoothly.
IMAX North American National Park, file size 4.5GB, resolution 1920×1088, average code rate 50Mbps, open hard solution, CPU occupancy rate 40% -50%, playing smoothly.
to sum up:
Using Vivo Stick for mobile office is just a good wish. Although the computer itself is very small, but the mouse and keyboard must also bring it, the target is not necessarily a display device, the display device does not necessarily have HDMI port, so it seems that Laptops are more reliable, and the most inconvenient is a Windows tablet with a keyboard case.
ASUS Vivo Stick's positioning should replace HTPC in the living room to play high-definition movies. It is said that it can support 4K playback. I think that even if it can play smoothly, the video file COPY into the TF card is also a vast project. At present, all kinds of TV boxes have great restrictions and cannot be installed with free APKs. Plus, the compatibility and flexibility of video files are still better than Windows, so I think that such products will be functional for some time in the future. Single box products have a certain impact. In addition, there is news that Intel's latest Skylake is about to enter the Stick device to further improve performance.
