I have been watching the Intel PC-on-Stick since its announcement. Now that the Intel Compute Stick is out and is in active discussion, it appears to be another serious contender in mobile computing business. It can be carried like a pen-drive in your pocket. In my view it appears to be a great device for sales, business, and marketing people, students, researchers, schools etc.

It's priced at $150 and comes with Quad-core Intel Atom Z3735 processor running at 1.3 GHz, Windows 8.1, 2GB RAM, 32GB on-board storage, built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and multi-channel audio.
It's like a complete thin-client computer. It can be used with HDTV as well for MS Word, Excel or PowerPoint presentations. With Windows 8.1 built-in dictation s/w and a wireless mouse, one can also use the Compute Stick to write files without the need of keyboard. The embedded GPU in the Atom processor is capable of running 3D PC games as well.
It's interesting that Intel added a tiny fan inside the Compute Stick with visible air vents. That makes it perfect for extended period of use without overheating. As intended, the Compute Stick can be used like a computer for long hours. That makes it a perfect pocket-able computer for office work. Does that provide a lead to Intel in mobile computing?
