Intel Compute Stick Reaches Retail
The Intel Compute Stick, a new pocket-sized computer based on a quad-core Intel Atom processor running Windows 8.1 with Bing, is available now through Intel Authorized Dealers for much of the world.
The Intel Compute Stick (STCK1A32WFC, STCK1A8LFC) can transform any HDMI display into an entry computer capable of working with productivity apps, playing local or streamed content, driving basic digital signage or enabling thin clients.
While the Intel® Compute Stick can fit in the palm of your hand, it’s what we fit inside of it that is truly remarkable. A quad-core Intel Atom™ processor and your choice of operating systems: Windows* 8.1 with Bing* or Ubuntu* 14.04 LTS.
The Windows version includes 2 GB memory, 32 GB of on-board storage and comes with McAfee® Antivirus Plus for comprehensive protection from Trojans, viruses, spyware and more. The Ubuntu version has 1 GB memory and 8 GB of on-board storage. Both devices come with Wi-Fi* and Bluetooth* for connectivity, a USB port to connect peripherals and a micro SD card slot for additional storage.
The Windows versionwill retail starting at $149. A Linux version with Ubuntu, available this summer, is expected to retail for $110.

and a keyboard and mouse.
some reviews says it not worth it.
If all you need is something cheap for browsing the internet and checking e-mail, there's nothing wrong with it.

Modern mobile phone chargers can bring 2A, just have an eye on it when you buy one
Actually win10 on the RPi will probably without a GUI and not run most Apps, so it can't be compared (at the moment) with this Win 8.1 stick.
So for me this stick looks really nice as a media device to extend the TVs capabilities (like Netflix, Web browsing (with flash), Xbox video player, ...).
Ah, I didn't know those 2A chargers are that common, wasn't aware of it My bad then.
What would I need win10 on the Pi for then if it's not really running Windows? This may sound like a stupid question, but what does it offer? Drivers?

Fairly nice review here: http://anandtech.com/show/9167/intel-compute-stick-review
What I miss to know, did they get any frame drops with 1080p60hz or not, the line was very close to the 85% mark, which would mean framedrops.
It offers a development platform, or maybe to start a single app when turning it on, like a kiosk mode, sensor station, webcam station, ...
You can develop with Windows development tools for it.

You can get that on battery pack, it is powered via USB port, so you get USB hub with additional plug.
There are stand alone light thin portable monitors (lenovo / acer / ...) which has USB for power and video, some can use HDMI while powered via USB.
Their plan to power this fully via HDMI in future is OK, but I would rather go for DP and have someone to make that display. But still it would be step back.
Because now, you can power it via USB, have it running and plug screen when you need it. This thing has low enough power consumption to live on battery for long time.
I can imagine even smaller and more power efficient version in advance RC models. and you just plug monitor to change programming of flight sequence.
