The ASUS Chromebit is a stick form factor computer running Chrome OS that is due to be released later this year. Being an ARM device I don't consider it a direct competitor to the Intel Compute stick, however, unlike the Compute stick, the Chromebit appears to be fanless. Price is said to be under $100.
1 HDMI plug (male) with swivel
1 USB 2.0 port
Rockchip 3288 ARM SoC
2GB RAM
16GB eMMC storage
802.11ac WiFi
Bluetooth 4.0 BR/EDR/LE
The swiveling HDMI plug seems like a nice convenience provided it does not compromise reliability of the HDMI electrical connection.
