But PC sticks have transformed that portability to a whole new level. They are bigger than pen drives but still, they can fit anywhere, even when traveling. You just need some basic accessories to set up the device completely, which is not bad when comparing to carrying the laptop and its own accessories. And recently, I got a chance to use Azulle Access3 mini PC Stick . So, here are my honest thoughts about this device.

Design and Build

This device can be fit into big pockets and easily in bags because of its small dimensions 5.2 * 2 * 0.75 inches. The design is compact and gives the techie look which is good. And the device is also not so heavy. It has an HD output which will be connected to the TV.

There is an external WiFi Antenna provided towards the side of the gadget.

And just beside the antenna is the micro SD slot for expanding storage space up to 256 GB.

On the back of the device, three slots are given for HDMI port, earphone jack, and Kensington lock.

Coming to the opposite side of the Wifi Antenna, two USB 3.0 slots are provided along with a power slot and a power button.

Installation And Set Up

For setting up this PC stick with your smart TV, you need to connect the HD output of this device to the specific TV slot. Turn on the device by connecting the charger to it and pressing the power button. This will ignite a blue light which means the device is on now and ready to use. After that, you can start setting up through the TV screen. For better usability, you can use your QWERTY remote or an external mouse or keyboard for selection and other purposes. First, it will ask you to select the language and your Region. After that, you will be asked to add a new user by entering the computer’s name along with the password. Once done,  you can proceed to set three security questions and their respective answers. On the next page, you can select whether you want to use Cortana or not. And lastly, accept the terms and conditions for using Windows 10. That’s it. Now can explore the whole PC system on your TV itself. Connect to the WiFi network and start exploring.

Connectivity

Azulle Access3 PC Stick provides:

WiFi connectivity with Dual band 2.4 Ghz/5 Ghz Bluetooth 4.2

Performance

After connecting and completing the setup, the performance was really good. With 4 GB of RAM and N4100 Quad-core processor, the system’s speed is applaudable. There is hardly any lag when switching between various applications and folders. The rest depends upon your Internet connectivity.

Pros

Cons

The only major drawback I could find with this device is the heating issue. After only 15 minutes of usage, the device was quite hot which should not have been the case.
