This is by far the best compute stick available right now. I tried 3 (the Vensmile and the Lenovo Compute Stick).Why is this one the best? Really, three things set it apart from the other 2:-- External antenna. Measured from the same Cisco Access Point at the same distance, this device always pulled in a signal 10-15dB stronger than the other two. This makes a huge difference -- the effective range of these is about double the other compute sticks.-- Sealed fanless case. These are going to be hanging next to / directly attached to TV's, where they'll be subject to all sorts of debris. Minimizing foreign object entry will certainly extend their service life.-- English menus, BIOS, etc.You'll pay a premium of about $10-$20 for this over the comparable Lenovo. In my estimation, the improved wireless performance and durability of the device makes it well worth the expense. I've got 4 of each and have in aggregate more than 3,000 hours on each set of devices, and these have not failed me yet.Next time I have a digital signage project, these are the devices I'll be purchasing. My only wish is that these had a resume-on-AC so that they could be powered by the TV USB ports, but that appears to be a deficiency amongst all the compute stick vendors.
