Just wondering if anybody on here has acquired something like

Even if preloaded with Windoze I would be interested in a
product specific reference.
If it can run Windows(TM) it can run a "real" OS.
Imagine you were VP of sales of a company that manufactured
such a device. You started receiving requests from a market
segment requiring no additional hardware engineering costs and
the market wanted a free (as in speech &/or beer) OS.
Most of the models seem to come pre-loaded with Windows, but one
model seems to come with Ubuntu (though that may have been
discontinued). The specs say that they only have drivers for
Windows. Google reports some install instructions for Ubuntu,
but haven't found any for Debian.

Oops, sorry, left off the name and link:
Intel Compute Stick CS125 Computer with Intel Atom x5 Processor and Windows 10

It looks like a USB pendrive.
Fascinating. That page has too much advertising hype to be
attractive.
However, it prompted me to Google
https://www.google.com/search?q=%22compute+stick%22+%22touchscreen%22++linux+-windows
That gave some tantalizing links that I didn't have the time to
explore.
To think out loud - how about a compute stick with battery in
shirt pocket and a wireless connected touch screen in hand. See
lots of possible problems. Worth mulling over.
