Review: With airmouse in tow

We finally managed to get our hands on a stick PC, but it's not Intel's Compute Stick – it's the Beelink Pocket P2. This is our first stick PC review, but it's not our first review of a Beelink product. 

Beelink is a Chinese company, best known for its Android TV boxes, but in recent months it has embraced Intel chips and Windows as well. As for the Intel Compute Stick, well, unfortunately we were unable to secure a review sample. The device is still not on sale and some distributors appear to be reluctant to get on board. This could be attributed to supply issues, or maybe even lack of appeal, as the Intel stick already got some less than flattering reviews.

So is the Beelink Pocket P2 any different? Does it suffer from the same foibles? Let's find out.

The hardware platform is basically identical to the Beelink Pocket P1 which we reviewed last month.  The only difference is the smaller form factor, which means there is no integrated battery and the device has fewer USB ports. That’s why we decided to spice up the review by including another product that goes hand in hand with a micro PC – the MeLe F10 Deluxe airmouse. We will get to this interesting gadget a bit later.

In case you missed our Beelink Pocket P1 review, we are looking at a standard Intel tablet platform, including a quad-core Atom Z3735F, 2GB of RAM, 32GB of eMMC storage and a microSD slot for expansion. Like its bigger sibling, the Beelink Pocket P2 features an alloy chassis, so build quality is quite good. On one side you’ll find a standard HDMI connector, while the other side is topped off by a piece of red plastic, which conveniently brings us to the next point.
