Lenovo today announced the company’s first compute stick, the Lenovo ideacentre Stick 300. It’s designed for consumers using it at home and on-the-go, the new pocket-sized compute stick is powerful enough for entertainment and web browsing, while affordable enough for existing PC owners to justify owning a second or third mobile PC option. The ideacentre Stick 300 expands the mobile computing experience and options for savvy shoppers and is suitable for use in the home, dorm or office, while simultaneously offering portability and convenience for travelers.
This wallet size device will cost you only $129, which allows you to plug and play the device into any HDMI compatible TV or monitor transforming it into a fully functioning Windows-based PC. The ideacentre Stick 300 does not look like a traditional computer, but it performs like one once a 2.4GHz wireless keyboard and mouse are added.
The pocket-sized ideacentre Stick 300 measures only 15 mm thin, running an Intel Atom Processor Z3735F, 2Gbs of memory and 32Gbs of storage. It will initially ship with Windows 8.1 but will be available for a free upgrade to Windows 10 starting on July 29. Fully enabled with WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0, the ideacentre Stick 300 provides the connectivity you need to power up at any time.
