This summer Chinese device maker Mele launched a computer-on-a-stick featuring an Intel Gemini Lake processor, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, and an Ethernet port. Now the company has an updated model with more of everything (except ports).
The updated Mele PCG02 is a fanless PC
stick with a faster processor, 8GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage. It’s available
for purchase from Amazon for US$ 230. If you don’t need the upgrades, you can also
still pick up an older model. Mele is selling it for US$ 170.
The updated model seems to have a slightly
different case than its predecessor, but it’s still a small, fanless computer
designed to plug directly into the HDMI port of a monitor or TV. It’s chunkier
than a USB flash drive, but still pretty tiny by desktop computer standards.
