What if that phone charger you casually toss into your bag everyday was more than just a power adapter? What if was secretly a fully fledged Windows PC? Well, then you’d have the Quanta Compute Plug.
The smart power-plug was just unveiled at Computex today—it’s not the first plug-based PC we’ve seen, but it might be the smallest. At a glance, the Quanta Compute Plug is barely larger than a typical AC adapter, but still packs in two USB 3.0 ports, an HDMI output and enough power to comfortably run Windows 10.

This does look like a nice portable Power brick style PC. But, the brick looks like it would block other power outlet on the right and left sides of the box if it is plugged into a horizontal style power bar, or it will block 1 outlet if it was directly plug into the wall's power outlet, or a vertical style power bar.
I think I rather have the Raspberry Pi 2 where I can power it with a smaller USB charger, so the power adapter does not block 2 power outlets on a power bar. Plus, the power adapter, power cable, SD card, case, and other parts are easier to replace when they break.
