When I turned the Access3 on and finished with the initial Windows 10 setup, I was quite amazed. Sure, there are compact keyboards that you can get such as these FANTECH keyboards, but carrying one around can be a pain too. While it’s great to be able to access Windows and work on it while you are up and about, you still need some sort of peripherals to interact with, and that means carrying a mouse and a keyboard. The cable is pretty short however, so you’ll find your Access3 dangling most of the time. But thankfully, Azulle includes an HDMI extension cable to make sure that you will always be able to plug the Access3 in any kinds of situation. The problem is however, some TVs are wall mounted and usually don’t have enough space to plug the Access3 in. It’s certainly easier and lighter to carry than a laptop. Or at a presentation? You can also plug the Access3 to present, with all files and apps that you’ve prepared within.

In a hotel room? Just plug the Access3 to the TV and you can have access to your files or local media within. With an HDMI port, all you need to do is plug the Access3 into a monitor or TV’s HDMI slot and it’ll run from the display. It’s sometimes hard to imagine how a full-blown Windows 10 PC can be crammed into this compact unit. Storage space is expandable through microSD and the stick comes with 1x Gigabit Ethernet port, 2x USB 3.0 ports, audio jack, Wi-Fi, and an HDMI output capable of outputting 4K running at 60Hz.Īt a glance, Azulle Access3 is an engineering feat especially if you have never seen or held a mini PC stick before. The Azulle Access3 unit I have here is powered by the N4100 Gemini Lake quad core processor (Intel Celeron), which is a low cost, low power processor that marks the era of mini PCs and cheap laptops. It’s definitely an interesting concept where you can carry the power of a PC into your pockets and plug it to any monitor or TV while you are not at home or at work.īut how useful is it? Will you be carrying and using this instead of a laptop? What sort of performance would you expect and can it really run things? It’s practically like a giant USB flash drive that contains the whole operating system, or a fully functional PC at the palm of your hands.
