[UPDATE FEBRUARY 2017]  The model that I purchased in 2015 has a 32 GB SSD. As I mention in my original review, it upgraded itself from Windows 8.1 to 10 without a problem. But now, 32 GB is not enough to run the Windows 10 Anniversary upgrade (which came out in the Summer of 2016) . The original Windows 10 OS plus some core apps that can't be deleted, takes about 18 gigs and the upgrade requires something like 15 gigs to store and run it. No matter how much I delete I can't clear enough space. My advice for buying ANY Windows mini PC or tablet is to make sure it comes with at least a 64 GB SSD. Even though you might pay more, you'll be buying more life for the device. Sooner or later 64 GB won't be enough either, but 32 is already not enough.[ORIGINAL REVIEW]No It's been a dream of mine to have a PC that uses a TV for the monitor. I realize this has been available in many different forms over the years, including so-called smart TV's. But I never heard anything good about them and I wasn't going to buy or build an HTPC until I could think of a good reason to. Enter the new type of computer, the Compute Stick. Intel seems to be the leader in the Windows based Compute Sticks but they don't market the Intel branded units very well (check out the lack of info you get about them on Intel's web site). It's hard to get specs or a good description of the differences between models. So I went for this Quantum Access model mostly because it had a better description on Amazon and, from what I can tell, the innards are the same as Intel and the price is a little cheaper. Plus I like the external antenna. I have no idea how much better that makes it (I have nothing to compare it to) but it at least makes me think it's better.When I received the Quantum Access it had Windows 8.1 but it upgraded itself to 10 the first time I booted it up. [Side note: Windows 10 has worked beautifully for me. I upgraded this plus a tablet and a Bootcamp partition on a Mac all for free with no problems at all. And the tablet runs it pretty good with only 1 GB of RAM.] The Quantum Access Compute Stick connects up to my 40' TV just fine (there is a slight amount of jiggle where it connects to the HDMI port, which worries me that it could fall out if the TV was jostled a bit). The picture is crisp and clear and the responsiveness of launching apps and stuff is very impressive. I think that's what most people want to hear, is that it's fast. Well I wouldn't attempt to render 3D drawings on it or edit videos. But for an everyday PC that you can use for Netflix, the You Tubes and other streaming services, it's better than a Roku. And it's just plain easier than a Chromecast (except you need a wireless keyboard and mouse). In fact, you can get more programming than the Ruku because most networks let you watch full episodes from their web site. If those networks don't have a Roku app, you're out of luck. Even networks that DO have the Roku app don't always give you access to full episodes. I'm looking at you SyFy. One more thing: if you want to watch streaming services in a hotel or college dorm or any other place that uses a web-based login, you need something with a web browser. This, being a full-fledged computer, of course has that. Roku, AppleTV, Amazon Fire TV, Chromecast, etc. don't.The only cons are the aforementioned loosey-goosey HDMI connection and the lack of an HDMI extender cable for awkwardly placed TV ports.
