Are you the proud owner of a not-smart TV? Do all of your friends showboat and stream Netflix directly from their TV when you visit? Don’t get left behind! With either of the new ZOTAC PC Sticks, any display can now function as a Smart TV or even a home computer.
Most people will supplement their TV with a XBOX/PlayStation or laptop in order to gain access to streaming services such as Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, etc. However, there is a price to pay for the aforementioned options. First off, not everybody is looking to add an XBOX or PlayStation to their home, especially if they are not into console gaming. Secondly, when you utilize your laptop to enhance your TV functions, you will lose the ability to use your laptop. For some, this is just as unacceptable as lugging your home computer over to your TV.
With the PI221 or PI220 PC Sticks, we are able to provide the perfect solution for your TV or daily computing needs. At barely 5 inches (127mm) in length, this is one of the most painless and unobtrusive upgrades available on the market today. Most people are already quite familiar with the Intel PC Stick, so what makes ours so different?
Let’s take a look at our ZBOX PI221 PC stick which won the Design & Innovation Award in the Computers and Systems category at Computex 2016. While the shape and size might look similar, we offer a few amazing enhancements to this passively cooled PC Stick which make it truly unique: 1) A full sized 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Port and 2) an external Wi-Fi antenna. Many Smart TVs today suffer from connectivity issues. Try watching a choppy and constantly dropping stream of your favorite show and you might just quit owning a Smart TV forever. With the Ethernet port at the ready, you will never have to worry about losing signal. If running a cable to your display isn’t your thing, our PC Sticks come with an external Wi-Fi antenna. While other PC sticks have Wi-Fi, their internal antennas may lack signal strength and range to the extent that they might as well not even be there. The passive cooled feature provide a fanless design for longer product longevity and no noise.
Not much of a TV person? Either of these tiny computers can turn any display into a PC. Perfect for brushing the dust off of your old monitors and turning them into useful home computer stations. It’s also the perfect solution to turn any TV or display into an instant digital signage board. Each PC Stick features an Intel Atom x5-Z8300 quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM, 32GB of storage which can be supplemented via SD card, and pre-installed with Windows 10 Home Edition so it’s ready to go out of the box.
