Sure.
The HP Stream 11 is in the same general ballpark at $199 for similar specs but the appeal of the stick is the form factor. Much like the FireTV stick it is something you stick in your pocket and move on.

In the business world where some companies don't assign offices to their sales personnel these sticks could be useful. A stick in the pocket is harder to steal than a laptop.
