I use Winbooks velcro'd to the back of a TV for GPS software. up on a wall display because the software requires windows.
Non-domain joined systems but the work for the need and cost < $100.

After reading this thread, I've just ordered an Intel stick. It should arrive tomorrow. I can let you know what it's like if you want
So did you get it? If so how's it?
No, there was a delivery problem. Hopefully today!

Always tough waiting for new toys to arrive
-
It is indeed
And then when it arrives, you have to resist the temptation to stop the more important projects that you're currently working on in order to play.
-
Did it arrive?
-
We are eager to know the results

He is probably having so much fun with it that he isn't around to report back

My colleague is going to set it up, but he's busy. I have taken it out of the box and managed to drop it on the floor though, which is a good start
-
Too busy to play with new toys?!?
-
I'm working him too hard!

Got my Intel Compute stick, setting it up

8.1 with Bing is the "free" windows version for small devices I believe. It is not Pro to my knowledge.

It will upgrade to Windows 10 Home. I have some 7" Winbook tablets that were purchased to run a specific application while connected to a TV.
They popped the Windows 10 upgrade notice after release and I upgraded them no problems.

So far it's a disaster. The pc started and for some reason restarted during the initial setup after language selection. And it's on a loop never completed the initial setup. Tried refresh, reset nothing works. That goes till 98% and restarts again. I am thinking of getting the new iso somehow add it on microsd and try a clean install or just return it and get a new piece.
