Answer 1

It purely depends on what you do.

Main Pros on any Stick-shaped PCs:

• Tiny
• Usually fairly cheap
• Portable
• Low power consumption (may be important to some people)

Main Cons on any Stick-shaped PCs:

• General use only (fairly low-end spec)
• All parts are "as-is" and not-upgradable (except storage as you can add microSD card)
• Minimum amount of USB ports that can limit external devices connection (1 USB = 1 keyboard, or 1 mouse, and you're stuck, unless you use a USB hub, or USB Wireless Keyboard+Mouse combo)

If you only plan to browse the web, read email, and not storing much on it, it is a great thing to have and bring to places as the only requirement to use it is basically a keyboard+mouse and a monitor/tv with HDMI and USB cable (to power it up)
