Google unveils 'stick' computer with Asus

A fine example of 'Press Release' reporting! How about holding off until you know it's real?

It's already being manufactured.

I assume you'd have to pack along a keyboard, which reduces mobility quite a bit. I wonder what the keyboard interface will be? Not Blue Tooth, I hope. I assume the OS is Android.

how wonderful it is! a stick / pen computer - bravo!

more detail on how it'll work from a monitor would be nice.

I have to log in to like your comment Phil Smy

ASUS make some really cool stuff.

if it's practically useable and no extra cost on expensive accessories,they can sell good .

If they 'unveiled it', where's the photo?

Sounds cool but the Asus word looks to close to anus.

I doubt Google would pull an April Fool's joke like this, and for $100 sounds great, do hope they have the keyboard etc...

The 'perfect upgrade' for an existing laptop? Not if the OS keeps changing all the time. I can just imagine the incompatibility nightmare.

Should have on-screen keyboard.

sounds like cheap gomi for non computer users. Though if all you want to do is blog, watch cute videos, etc it is the device for you!

It's called a Compute Stick. Intel just recently premiered it this January's CES 2015. Here's what it looks like:
