<p>A <b>stick PC</b> or <b>PC on a stick</b> is a <a href="Single-board_computer" title="Single-board computer">single-board computer</a> in a small elongated casing resembling a stick, that can usually be plugged directly (without an HDMI cable) into an <a href="HDMI" title="HDMI">HDMI</a> video port. A stick PC is a device which has independent CPUs or processing chips and which does not rely on another computer. It should not be confused with passive storage devices such as <a href="Thumb_drives" class="mw-redirect" title="Thumb drives">thumb drives</a>.

</p><p>A stick PC can be connected to a peripheral device such as a <a href="Computer_monitor" title="Computer monitor">monitor</a>, <a href="TV" class="mw-redirect" title="TV">TV</a>, or kiosk display to produce visual or audio output. Stick PCs generally have limited computing power and are not suited for intensive tasks, but can be suitable in other applications that do not require such power.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2></div>

<p>The stick PC was first introduced in 2003. The <a href="Gumstix" title="Gumstix">Gumstix</a>, which came out that same year, used the <a href="ARM_architecture" class="mw-redirect" title="ARM architecture">ARM architecture</a> <a href="System_on_a_chip" title="System on a chip">system on a chip</a> (SoC) and the <a href="Linux" title="Linux">Linux</a> 2.6 <a href="Kernel_(operating_system)" title="Kernel (operating system)">kernel</a>. <a href="Windows_CE" title="Windows CE">Windows CE</a> can be installed on this stick. It was based on the idea of making a PC similar in size to that of an average <a href="Chewing_gum" title="Chewing gum">stick of chewing gum</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>As the popularity of smart TVs and set-top boxes to view streaming services (such as the <a href="Roku" title="Roku">Roku</a>) grew, companies started looking at making these small computers even smaller and easier to use.

</p><p>Several stick PCs using ARM architecture SoCs were introduced around 2012, made of sticks pluggable in an <a href="HDMI" title="HDMI">HDMI</a> port, including the <a href="Android_Mini_PC_MK802" title="Android Mini PC MK802">Android Mini PC MK802</a> series from Rikomagic, using <a href="Android_(operating_system)" title="Android (operating system)">Android</a> or <a href="Linux" title="Linux">Linux</a> distributions, both based on Linux and <a href="Allwinner_Technology" title="Allwinner Technology">Allwinner Technology</a> or <a href="Rockchip" title="Rockchip">Rockchip</a> SoC<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and <a href="Cotton_Candy_(single-board_computer)" title="Cotton Candy (single-board computer)">Cotton Candy</a>, using <a href="Samsung_Exynos" class="mw-redirect" title="Samsung Exynos">Samsung Exynos</a> SoC.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>2013-2014 saw several manufacturers come out with stick PCs. MeeGoPad released the first x86 based stick PC, featuring the Intel Atom Z3735F Processor.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In April 2013, Tronsmart released the MK908, using the Rockchip RK3188 (featuring the quad-core <a href="ARM_Cortex-A9" title="ARM Cortex-A9">ARM Cortex-A9</a> and ARM Mali-400MP GPU). On July 24, 2013, Google introduced the <a href="Google_Chromecast" class="mw-redirect" title="Google Chromecast">Google Chromecast</a>, a streaming device similar in function and design to a stick PC.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Forbes:_Chromecast_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Forbes:_Chromecast-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> On November 19, 2014, Amazon released a smaller version of the <a href="Amazon_Fire_TV" title="Amazon Fire TV">Amazon Fire TV</a> called the Fire TV Stick.

</p><p>In March 2015, ASUS and Google introduced the <a href="Chromebit" title="Chromebit">Chromebit</a>, a stick PC based on the <a href="Rockchip_RK3288" title="Rockchip RK3288">Rockchip RK3288</a> SoC and running Google's <a href="ChromeOS" title="ChromeOS">ChromeOS</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
