Intel's new computer stick coming out soon!

I am not sure if it is useful since you need a monitor with HDMI port, a blue tooth keyboard/ mouse and wiil have one USB port left to connect what ever else you might have ( a flash drive or hard drive), the total cost will be the same as buying a cheap laptop so I fail to see why any one would buy it but I am sure there are smarter people than me working for Intel.
 
Intel’s Compute Stick is a 4-inch dongle that turns a big screen into a computer. (Intel)

That would be the whole idea behind the carry out small portable technology, wonder what is the maximum hard drive, Ram, Video card.....etc will be included on this little stick and how reliable and combined is going to be, I am not surprised since everyone today is entering the tablet and portable option some succeed and some not and some with a combination of both trying to jump into this game, although new always welcome to be tested and reviewed.
