Is it a USB boot drive or a little micro PC that plugs into a monitor?

It would be nice to have a cheap "disposable laptop" that works off a cloud-desktop that you don't need to worry about losing or breaking. People don't buy laptops because they're slow anymore, but because they're physically worn out!

The equivalent of a cheap Chromebook that's like a real desktop with lots of power and runs Windows games and real applications!

In the future, I wonder how you could implement a cloud-desktop that's zero-knowledge a la SpiderOak. That would be the ultimate secure workstation.
