Now,my Telescope is powered by Magicstick
I am using Magicstick to run … read more telescopes/mounts for Astrophotography.Since it is a complete Windows 10 computer, I was able to load in the programs I use, and a micro SD card for storage, and it runs everything wirelessly (except for power).
I did add an Edimax dual band antenna to mine to give it the needed range for my situation.
Now, instead of dragging my laptop out and plugging in the USB hub, I set my telescope on my mount, connect my battery power, and head back in to my home office to enjoy imaging Deep Space Objects (Nebula).
You do need a USB wireless Keyboard and Mouse for first time use/set-up. After that you can use a Bluetooth connected keyboard.

   Fantastic! Magicstick !
Magicstick is amazing! Out of the box I had no… read more problem at all. First before I powered it up I plugged in a GOOD Logitech USB/Keyboard combination dongle into one of the USB ports on the side. I used the HDMI male to female cable to plug it into my projector mounted on my ceiling. Once everything was plugged in I made sure the projector was selected for HDMI2 [I connected to HDMI2 port of projector] and then plugged in the power supply. Magicstick has battery inside but I connected to power adapter to be safe. After 2 seconds it shown Magocstick logo and after a few seconds it began to boot windows 10 and has magicstick account autologin.I landed to windows 10 desktop. A few more tweaks and this was shared on my home network, had my wifi printer up and working, adode reader installed and changed over so pdf’s open with it instead of the default “Edge” Played a couple videos, streamed a few tv shows from xfinity live tv viewer, Netflix, amazon prime video and everything worked perfectly and no lag. Picture looks amazing on my optoma 1080p projector.

I’m sitting here writing this review using Magicstick right now. All of this is in my living room including my wifi router which is probably about 20′ from the device and my keyboard/mouse combination is maybe 15′ from the device and I have NO issues with range, connectivity, signal strength from either wifi or keyboard/mouse. I have 5 bars, the max, indicated on my wifi signal strength. Why on earth I just bought a $1500 dell laptop now is beyond me. This has everything I need and want to be able to do with a PC connected to my projector and none of the bulk or wiring needed to do that with a desktop or laptop.

For the sound right now it is coming out of my projector which has a speaker in it and works pretty good. I certainly can turn up the volume so I can clearly hear anything just as good as any tv speaker could. the sound is coming into the projector via the HDMI plug so no wires or anything just plug and play to the projector via the HDMI. Ultimately, I want the sound to come out of my surround sound speaker system that all my other components plugged into my projector do. To accomplish this my projector has an “audio out” jack on it which is the 1/8 plug type. I have an extra audio wiring schema run from my stereo to the projector I am not currently using should be easy enough to use that and get the sound from the audio out on the projector back to the stereo. I just need to get a really short 1/8 stereo wire so I don’t have wires hanging all over the place from my ceiling as everything is hidden with wires I already ran from the stereo to the projector.

As far as overfilling the screen goes a good tv/projector like mine allow me to adjust the image size to fit just like xbox games when you first play them sometimes have you adjust the screen size to fill the screen. Also out of the box my stick computer/windows 10 text/app size was set to 150% and was “recommended” I set that to 100% percent to take full advantage of the full screen size but that displays everything to small and so I set it back to 150%. There is no reason you should have to scale this back to a smaller resolution it’s all in the settings.

I ran the audio out of my projector to my stereo via some wires that were already in my ceiling that were not being used and now I have complete setup to stream video, etc. it worked perfectly. Please believe me. It is very good for gaming” I installed STEAM on this last night and it worked and looked fantastic on my projector.
