## Frequently asked questions

**What is Neurastick?**

Neurastick is a USB flash drive preloaded with AI models and tools that run locally on your own computer, so your prompts, files and answers never leave your machine.

**Does Neurastick work without internet?**

Yes. The models are stored on the drive and run on your computer's processor, so chat, document analysis, transcription and (on Creator and above) image generation work fully offline.

**Is there a subscription?**

No. Every Neurastick is a one-time purchase with no account, login, token limits or monthly fee.

**Which computers are supported?**

macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel) and Windows 10/11 launchers ship on every drive, with Linux builds included as a community extra. The housing has both USB-A and USB-C connectors.

**How much does Neurastick cost?**

Six models from $97 (Starter 32 GB) to $997 (Sovereign 1 TB, hardware-encrypted). Creator ($197) is the most popular and Pro ($297) is the best value.

**Where does Neurastick ship from and to?**

Every drive is written, verified and packed by hand in Austin, Texas and shipped nationwide across the United States with tracking. Free express shipping over $150.

**Can I upgrade later?**

Yes. Each Neurastick includes a trade-up credit for its full purchase price toward a higher tier within 12 months.

**Can returns or refunds be requested?**

No. Because each drive ships pre-loaded with licensed AI models, all sales are final. The trade-up credit program covers customers who outgrow their tier.
