Similar to those lenovo PC sticks but for less

Does this run off 1.5a OK? Im thinking of using one in my mini observatory hooked up to a power bank to control my scope whilst I'm sat in bed at 4.00am remotely controllibg

It sounds cooler than it actually is, it ain't Jodrell Bank :wink:
Decided to go the nuc route instead, the qhy5l iic camera will work better with an msata drive.

Can this run blue stacks?
clash of clans in particular?

Doubt it, blue stacks runs like s**t on a surface pro with i5 and 4gb ram on an ssd

Blue Stacks kind of emulates. Dual boot this to run Remix OS, which runs android natively. Check here:
If you're asking the question, then this. All day. (no offence)

I will always neg these until a version with 4gb ram/ intel m processor comes out and works on windows and costs this price!

Intel already have announced one. Check liliputing website for deets. It is not cheap though.

I read about the Foxconn Kangaroo a few days ago. shame it's not on sale here, it's an interesting concept. And uses a more modern CPU. And there's a version with a decent amount of memory.

Do these work with sky go?

They're running Windows, Windows plays Sky Go, it's not an app problem like on Android/IOS etc.

will these really upgrade to windows 10 or will they do the same as the Lenovo and boot loop?

Everything will eventually *upgrade* to windows 10.. if you cannot wait, try the insider app to get
the latest fast ring builds on your current devices..
This flies along for a 2gb PC and is a good buy at £100, so £65 is a steal ;-)

IIRC this can be advised by using a micro SD card as the problem comes from there not being enough storage by default to install W10 properly

It's an impressive product but really struggle to find a purpose or justification for this, and as has been mentioned before, a Linx tablet is cheaper and will do the same thing, and can also be used as a tablet. And you can just blouetooth a keyboard and mouse into them too.
If I want to do PC type things I'll use a laptop, browsing use a tablet, to stream a film on the big tv I'll just use chromecast etc. It's not fast enough to justify using it as a fully fledged power desktop either.

Plug it into a TV and they are basically the same. Same spec ( apart from 1GB RAM ).
You can use a Linx tablet in exactly the same way as you use this PC stick if you wanted ( when plugged into the TV just press windows key + P then select TV only - this turns off the tablets screen )

This or the Linx 7 32GB Tablet which only has 1GB ram?

They aren't the same thing

That's pretty good, can you install programs on this like a normal pc?
Does this plug into the usb or HDMI port on a TV?
JimBobJr to masif1

HDMI port on a TV and yes, it works like a normal windows desktop

Here is a pretty cool and no fluff video as to what it can do and how it can do it ;-)
