PC Stick Per Sky Go - Mini PC for Sky Go: Intel Core i3 and i5 Options

Can a Thinvent mini PC run Sky Go?

Sky Go is a Sky app for Windows and Mac. A Windows PC needs Windows 10 or later. A Mac needs macOS 11 Big Sur or later. Sky Go is included with a Sky TV subscription and streams live TV, entertainment and downloads.

Minimum requirements for Sky Go on a PC

The published requirements for Sky Go on a PC include:

• Operating system: Windows 10 or later

• Processor: Intel Core i3-8130U or equivalent AMD

• RAM: 4 GB DDR3

• Video card: DirectX 11 compatible video card driver

Sky's own help guide for desktop apps lists these same minimum requirements. Check the Sky help page for the latest details before you buy.

Thinvent products that meet these requirements

Every Thinvent product on this page uses a processor that is more capable than the Intel Core i3-8130U. Several of them ship with Windows 11 Pro, the Windows edition that suits Sky Go:

The Thinvent Aero Mini PC and Industrial PC IPC5 models with Core i3 and i5 processors meet the processor and RAM minimums with room to spare. The Thinvent Treo Mini PC with AMD Ryzen 5 7430U also meets them. The Thinvent Treo Mini PC with Intel N5095A has 4 GB of RAM and a Celeron-series processor. Check its specifications against the current Sky requirements before you use it for Sky Go.

Wireless connection
