You could walk around with this computer stick and plug in wherever there's a keyboard, mouse and monitor...
The pricing is ridiculous. In Germany it costs 120€. I really don't get why Google is constantly making their products so unaffordable here. That makes it slightly more expensive than the Intel Compute Stick with Win 8.1 which goes for 110€
For £120 I could build a mITX machine that would destroy this. (http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/9LffwP) - Granted it's not as small, but who really cares?
For £200 I could buy a Chromebook, but instead I bought a ASUS X205TA for £85 from eBay on sale (I had vouchers etc, but even without them it would've been £130). Yes the trackpad isn't as good, but the build quality is okay and it runs Windows 10 absolutely fine for what I use it for.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Raspberry PI has pretty much what you're looking for. I one set up exactly for this purpose.
Raspberry Pi is not really good as a media player. It struggles for high quality high bit rate 1080p videos and it is limited with USB 2 and does not have gigabit ethernet.
(For physical media I still just use a PS3.)
One reason for having an orange one is it's easier to spot when it's time to unplug.

Exactly, they are £90 here in the UK. For £120 I could build a mITX machine that would destroy this. ( http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/9LffwP ) - Granted it's not as small, but who really cares?

Isn't one of the primary points of this product the extreme size? It seems like an unreasonable comparison if you dismiss that.
I have a nice 1080p monitor sitting on my desk that I seldom use. With this device it could morph into an always setup desktop version of my Chromebook. I mostly just use my laptops when I need IntelliJ for coding tasks, otherwise "lesser" devices like my iPad and Chromebook meet my needs.

Somehow either tech companies think we (europe) are made of money or something about our tax/import system is wrong.
