There is Intel's Compute Stick too[1] but I haven't try it yet.

If it's x86/x86_64, it has a major advantage imho

It is, but it's also only got intel graphics. You won't be doing any 4k work on it. I have one and it's great for office work, but good luck getting a game to run even 1080p.

How do you use it? What's the advantage of having it?
