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.
