What about the Chromebit though?

    This summer, ASUS will launch a new type of Chrome device: the Chromebit. Smaller than a candy bar, the Chromebit is a full computer that will be available for less than $100. By simply plugging this device into any display, you can turn it into a computer. It’s the perfect upgrade for an existing desktop and will be really useful for schools and businesses.

I had no idea this type of technologic magic was possible. I imagine it has very limited functionality though.

Microsoft is offering the same thing. I don't know what voodoo to offer Google to find it but it's a USB stick with 128 GB storage, micro USB, HDMI and Windows not 9.

I'm on my phone and too tired to find it. But mk called this a few years ago. Something like envisioning a world loaded with screens and you would just walk up and connect to your computer or something like that. Or I'm super tired and I'm half dreaming.
