Agreed, very good points.
Just few comments
These are not that bad. http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015/...-with-skylake/
IIRC the idle power consumption is around 500 mW. Intel might suck at power handling, but the 14nm process is good. But in this domain I don't think the technical features of the stick are significant. You pay for a service and content. Also many broadband connections are still not 4k ready. I'm perfectly happy with Chromecast, Apple TV and RPi as media players.
If you test normal daily use, the benchmarks show that
The Jolla tablet has 15,9 Wh battery and Bay Trail T CPU. It lasts for 4 hours. So 15 min / Wh
Ipad Air 2 has 27,2 Wh battery and 9,5h uptime. 21 min / Wh
Lenovo yoga tablet 10 hd+ has 33,3 Wh and 13h uptime. 23 min / Wh
It's not terribly bad. I don't know what's the impact of the immature software stack. It might explain some of the issues.

Not to mention it can be customized for cases where one, say, completely lacks keyboard and mouse. Like tv-sticks with android do, kiosks, etc.

And I got impression even chinese stuff like rockchip lasts 2 times more on comparable battery. Somehow, all Intel based tablets I've seen were draining battery, hardly exceeding 3-4 hours of active time, unless vendor goes for huge, laptop-sized battery.
