At the Consumer Electronics Show 2015, Intel surprised quite a few people with their announcement of a new device the size of a pen drive that connects to your HDMI monitor or TV – and instantly transforms your HDMI monitor into a fully functioning computer. This nifty “Compute Stick” – as Intel calls it – will be available some time later this year, with rumours at the trade show suggesting a March/April timeframe.

在2015年美国消费电子展(Consumer Electronics Show)上 ，英特尔宣布推出了一种新设备，该设备具有可连接到您的HDMI监视器或电视的笔驱动器大小的功能，并立即将您的HDMI监视器转换为功能全面的计算机，这让很多人感到惊讶。 英特尔称其为“漂亮的计算棒”，将于今年晚些时候面市，有传言称该展会将于三月/四月上市。

Intel’s new Computer Stick will come with an Intel Atom Z3735F quad-core processor, up to 2 GB RAM and up to 32 GB eMMC storage. While the hardware offered is very much low end – for a device that’s the size of a slightly-oversized pen, it’s not to be understated either.

英特尔的新款Computer Stick将配备英特尔Atom Z3735F四核处理器，高达2 GB的RAM和高达32 GB的eMMC存储。 虽然提供的硬件非常低端-对于像一支稍大笔的大小的设备，也不要低估它。

What about the software, you ask? Good news – you’ll be able to choose between Windows 8.1 and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, with the Ubuntu version coming with half the RAM at 1 GB, and a lower capacity 8 GB eMMC card for storage.

您问软件如何？ 好消息–您将能够在Windows 8.1和Ubuntu 14.04 LTS之间进行选择，其中Ubuntu版本随附一半的RAM(1 GB)和容量较低的8 GB eMMC卡用于存储。
