Azulle Access Pro is a PC stick based on an Intel N100 quad-core Alder Lake” processor with up to 8GB RAM, 128GB eMMC flash, and a male HDMI port which is offered with Windows 11 Pro, Linux, or “Zoom” operating systems (more on that below).
The mini PC also provides a microSD card slot, gigabit Ethernet, WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 with an external antenna, USB 3.0 Type-A and Type-C ports, and a 3.5mm audio jack. We’ve written about pocket-sized mini PCs based on Alder Lake-N processors before, for instance, the MeLe PCG02 Pro N100 or the slightly wider MeLe Quieter4C, but the Azulle model is different since it comes with a male HDMI connector which would allow users to connect it directly into a TV or monitor without a cable.

The Azulle “Access Pro Alder Lake” ships with a power adapter, an “HD adapter”, and a Quick Guide. The “HD adapter” is an HDMI female-to-female adapter for connecting an HDMI cable, since while it’s indeed possible to connect the PC stick directly to the back or side of a TV, the weight may end up damaging the HDMI port on either mini PC or display over time especially if you connect an Ethernet cable.
Besides the form factor, the other differentiating factor of the Access Pro is the OS support: Windows 11 Pro, Linux, or Zoom. We asked for some clarifications from Azulle, and the company told CNX Software that Linux would be Ubuntu 22.04 for now, and the “Zoom” option is Window 10 IoT 2021 LTSC preconfigured to boot to Zoom which can be used for regular Zoom use, meetings, etc…
Azulle sells the Access Pro Intel N100 PC stick for $290 (4GB/64GB) or $310 (8GB/128GB) and up with the price depending on the selected operating system. The mini PC should eventually become available on Amazon since the previous generation (Gemini Lake) Access4 Pro is sold on Amazon US for .

When you consider that you can already get some very small N100 mini PC’s with better spec and up to half the price them this doesn’t seem that good.
Can you fit them in your pocket?
