Azulle Access Arm is a fanless Linux PC stick with an RK3576 processor for $120 and up
by Brad Linder · LiliputingMini PC maker Azulle has been selling PC sticks that plug directly into the HDMI port for a while: the company launched an Azulle access Pro with an Intel N100 processor last year and upgraded it to an Intel N150 chip earlier this year.
Now there’s another option. The Azulle Acces Arm is a mini PC with a similar design. But instead of an Intel processor it’s powered by a Rockchip RK3576 Arm-based chip. And instead of shipping with Windows 11 pre-installed, the Arm model comes with Ubuntu Linux, although Azulle notes that the PC stick also supports Android 14.
As spotted by FanlessTech, the Azulle Access Arm is currently available from Amazon in two configurations:
Both models feature LPDDR4x memory and eMMC storage soldered to the mainboard, which means that neither is user upgradeable. But that’s hardly surprising for a PC stick that measures just 5.13″ x 2.12″ x 0.61″.
The system is powered by an RK3576 processor that features:
- 4 x Arm Cortex-A72 CPU cores
- 4 x Arm Cortex-A53 CPU cores
- Mali-G52 MC3 graphics
- 6 TOPS NPU
The little computer supports WiFi 5 and Bluetooth 5 and features a Gigabit Ethernet port, USB 3.1 port, USB 2.0 port, and 3.5mm audio jack. There’s a USB-C port for 12V/2A power input, a microSD card reader for removable storage, and an HDMI 2.1 port that lets you plug the stick into a TV or monitor.
With support for HDMI-CEC technology and 4K/120 fps video, Azulle is positioning the Access Arm stick as a digital signage solution. But it could also be an interesting alternative to a home media center or streaming stick, as it provides users with far more software customization options than a Roku, Google TV, or Fire TV stick.
