Intel's "PC on a USB stick/drive"

SIR-related perhaps as additional potential for running SDR-Radio or similar software...
Closer to actual-use reality, but even excited industry insiders say still initially too expensive and "potentially flimsy at a high initial price". Initial blurb excerpt and example article link: << You can finally order the Intel USB stick that turns any monitor into a full PC (BGR News - Zach Epstein - April 6, 2015) A huge chunk of home PC users overpay for personal computers capable of performance that far exceeds anything they plan to do with their devices. There must be a cheaper option for simple things like web browsing and video streaming, right? Right: Intel’s new “Compute Stick” is a tiny USB dongle that can turn any modern monitor into a full-fledged computer, and it’s finally available for preorder. We first saw the concept pop up a few years ago, but Intel’s vision of the computer-on-a-USB-stick is finally a reality. For under $200, you can now purchase a nice, capable computer that’s as portable as a USB flash drive and can plug into any monitor or TV with an HDMI port....>> You can finally order the Intel USB stick that turns any monitor into a full PC https://www.yahoo.com/tech/s/finally-order-intel-usb-stick-turns-monitor-full-164025266.html Joe Rotello / Knoxville, TN / USA

Newegg has it on special for $150+shipping ($USD) Still, it's only an Atom inside so like Simon said a while back, it'd still work out better to just buy a regular cheap PC with a Core i3/i5 and have more power for the SDR overall

I hope someone does test this for SDR
interest. I will admit that I was surprised to be able to run my
SDR-IQ and Flex1500 on the little WinBook tablet with the display also on the 83
inch TV! Receive only so far. With a combination like this RF is
definitely a problem! But still definitely
interesting. Of course Simon is definitely correct in saying that if
curiosity isn't important in your decisions buying a PC when they are selling
for just a little over $200 makes more sense.

Also there’s talk of an even more powerful version using Core-M technology.

Maybe not. It seems to have a USB port
and even if you need power and the stick can't supply it you can always use a
USB powered hub.
It still costs too much, though.
