As soon as my laptop battery does not allow me to boot anymore, there certainly are a lot of cool choices for my next portable computer.

My wife’s laptop is a hard drive-less SLAX Linux build in a 8GB USB port.

I like the concept, not sure where it goes though

With those specs, expect a lot of blue screens.

That video/gif is so well done that it looks like it was a real episode

Into your pocket.

Buy a $10 USB stick and download a free copy of linux.
Heck my son did this a couple years ago.

I think it’s a great idea for schools and businesses, but I don’t like the idea of most/all of my data being stored in a Cloud, or in THE Cloud, or in any place other than my computer.
I’ll stick with a computer that has a hard-drive - at least until they are no longer available.

That’s different. That’s just the OS on a medium [usb stick]
Intel has a HDMI dongle like device that has cpu/memory/storage and the OS either Windows or Linux.

A $10 USB memory stick DOESN’T HAVE A CPU.
Yeay, I have an Ubuntu memory stick ... It’s just a boot drive.
This thing they’re talking about is a COMPUTER.

A computer that you have to plug into another computer.

A computer...on a steek? Big deal, it's on a stick. The real question is whether it's served deep-fried in cake batter?

No, a computer that you plug into the back of a TV.
You can plug the Compute Stick into an HDMI port and transform any TV or monitor into a computer. Compute Stick comes installed with Windows 8.1, has 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage. It connects to the Internet via Wi-Fi, and it has USB and micro USB ports, plus a micro SD slot for additional storage. A Linux version is also available.
Article doesn't say how it handles human interface. Bluetooth?
