ASUS brought a few new computers to IFA 2015 this week, including the beyond-than-eyebrow-raising $129 USD VivoStick.
ASUS's first computer-on-a-stick features 2gb of RAM, 32gb of storage, Intel HD graphics, a headphone/mic jack, and two USB 2.0 ports. Connectivity-wise, it features Bluetooth 4.0 and WiFi 802.11n. It's powered by micro USB.
Inside, it features a newer Intel Cherry Trail processor, which means the next-gen will feature a Skylake processor. It measures about the size of a large flash drive, at 137.9 x 34.0 x 14.9mm (5.43 x 1.34 x 0.59 inch).
To connect, you remove the cap on the end to reveal an HDMI port that you plug into a monitor or HDTV. You can either connect a keyboard and mouse via Bluetooth or the two USB ports. If you don't have access to a keyboard and mouse or just don't enjoy using them, ASUS announced that you will be able to control the VivoStick via a mobile app.
There is no release date set for the VivoStick, so stay tuned for more info regarding that.
