I recently posted a query here, asking for advice about a Windows-based computer that would be capable of handling all of the rig control goodies a K-line could use (logging etc etc) while occupying the smallest possible footprint on the operating desk. There were a number of useful answers suggesting, among others, the Intel NUC and the HP Pavilion. The replies I had off-line suggested that others were interested in the same question.
So here¹s an update: I happened to see an announcement this morning of the forthcoming ³Chromebit² - a "computer on a stick² by Google. While the Chromebit will run Chrome rather than Windows, the article led to some other possibilities. One of them is the Hannaspree - under 11 cm long and just wider than a USB plug, weighing less than 40 grams - which runs Windows 8.1 with a Quadcore Intel CPU. Similarly, the Intel Compute Stick. I can¹t say whether these things have the muscle to do everything a ham with a K line could conjure - maybe someone who knows about such things could add that. I thought I¹d pass the note along.
