When I first reviewed the Intel Compute Stick, I noted that you could install Ubuntu yourself… but WiFi and Bluetooth wouldn’t work properly. So can you install Ubuntu on the Windows model? The bad news is that there’s so little built-in storage space that as soon as you turn on the computer you’ll note that there’s less than 1GB of free space for files and apps. The good news is that the Ubuntu model sells for about $50 less than the Windows model.
The Ubuntu model has just 1GB of RAM and 8GB of built-in storage. If you buy the Intel Compute Stick with Windows, you get a model with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of storage.
Intel offers Windows and Ubuntu Linux versions of the Compute Stick: but the operating system isn’t the only thing that makes one model different from the other. The Intel Compute Stick is a tiny computer that lets you run desktop apps on a TV when you plug the stick into an HDMI port.
