The Quanta NH2 measures about 3.9″ x 1.5″ x 0.4″,
making it just about the same size as an Intel Compute Stick. The key
differences are that Intel’s Compute Stick is currently only available with a
Bay Trail processor and only supports USB 2.0, while the Quanta NH2 can be
configured with USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 ports.
We already knew the stick would feature an Intel
Atom x5-Z8300 quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM, between 16GB and 64GB of
storage, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0, a USB port, and an HDMI connector
that lets you plug the stick directly into a port on your TV or monitor.
There’s also a microSD card slot, a power button and a status LED. The system
supports Windows 10.
There’s no word on how much the Quanta NH2 will
cost, or even what it will be called if and when it goes on sale in the US.
Quanta is a Taiwanese equipment manufacturer that tends to make hardware that’s
sold by other companies under their own brand names.
