A new Ubuntu PC Stick has been launched this week in the form of the Mele PCG02U, which is now available to purchase for around $70. This compact device is equipped with a 1.33 GHz Intel Atom Z3735F Bay Trail quad-core processor, making it a powerful yet affordable option for those looking to run Ubuntu on a small form factor.
Hardware Specifications
The CPU is supported by a 1.83 GHz Intel HD graphics Gen 7 (2W TDP), which ensures smooth graphics performance for everyday tasks. Additionally, the Mele PCG02U comes with 2GB of DDR3 RAM, providing sufficient memory for multitasking and running various applications. The device also includes 32GB of eMMC internal storage, which can be expanded further using the handy microSD card slot that supports up to 128GB. This flexibility allows users to store more files, applications, and media without worrying about running out of space.
Other notable features of the new Mele PCG02U Ubuntu PC Stick include connectivity options via both 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi and 10/100M Ethernet.

Additionally, there is a micro USB port that is used solely for power, making it easy to power the device using a standard USB power adapter.
Software and Usability
The Ubuntu PC Stick comes preloaded with the Ubuntu 14.04.4 operating system, providing a familiar and user-friendly interface for those who are accustomed to Ubuntu. It should also be possible to upgrade to the newer version, Ubuntu 16.04, now that it has been released for Bay Trail mini PCs.
