:arrow: The stick is small and the HDMI plug is on the end so the HDMI extension cable is used, it gives the stick some slack to install behind the tv or monitor. Why it's important that you use the HDMI extension cable? It allows the users to access to the USB port and media slots as well. Unless your tv has the HDMI panel facing on the left or right side, just stick it there.
:arrow: The stick comes with a power adapter, it's only 6ft long. To me, its a little short as my outlet is more than 8ft away from the TV.
Setup is easy but it takes about 20 minutes to complete. Windows 10 requires users to log in with a Microsoft account. Boot up time is decent given that ram is only 2gb. I disable many windows features to speed up the overall performance. I use this mainly for streaming through websites, youtube, and Netflix. The video stream is smooth and high definition quality as advertised. The stick has a little fan noise when it's on but it doesn’t bother me that much when I turn up the TV audio volume.
:arrow: I was able to update windows 10 to most recent version and windows defender without a glitch. For what it is, the stick does a really good job as a windows pc for my TV. I will just use the stick for streaming purposes only. There is some basic games installed in this version but I haven't tried it out yet. I highly recommend this stick for anyone looking for an easy windows pc solution for your TV as an entertainment center.
