PC-on-a-stick
A stick PC or PC on a stick is a single-board computer in a small elongated casing resembling a stick. It usually has a HDMI video port. A stick PC is a device which has independent CPU or processing chips and which does not rely on another computer. It should not be confused with passive storage devices such as thumb drives which may contain only stored instructions or an operating system to be run on the host device's CPU or processing chips.
A stick PC can connect to a peripheral device such as a monitor, TV, or kiosk display to produce visual or audio output.
Intel Compute Stick was one of the first PC's on a stick.[1]
