This does look pretty interesting. The initial image gave the impression (and as the article said) that the compute unit will be INSIDE the arm but doesn't look like it in the next pic. Hopefully it'll cool just fine
It looks like it depends on which stand the monitor has. If it's got a normal single-monitor stand, it does go inside the stand. If the monitor's on a multi-monitor stand or an arm where it doesn't have the space to go inside the stand, it can also be mounted outside.
I think both are valid designs. You can just about do that with a Raspberry Pi now. Especially on monitors with USB ports...Just need a couple more generations of Pi before things are fast enough for a decent, usable desktop.
As far as x86, they are likely using mobile parts with lower TDPs. You won't find a 2080ti, Core i7 9900k, or a Ryzen 3900x inside that stand.
Says in the article text this is a using mobile parts and specifically, a Whiskey Lake U-series chip with HD 620 iGPU and that the target workload is office tasks.
that's an interesting concept. It gives more component volume than a thin NUC type computer with VESA mounting on the top/bottom that could fit directly between a monitor and stand, while having broader compatibility than the ThinITX standard that was intended to slot into empty AIO monitors that never really gained any traction.

Now this is a Monitor Stand that may be worth $999, ;) AppleSamus - Wednesday, August 21, 2019 - link

I always wonder why this was never a thing like a standard frame in monitor stand or back on screen.Deses - Tuesday, August 20, 2019 - link
See, this is a justified 999 USD monitor stand.zamroni - Wednesday, August 21, 2019 - link
apple $999 monitor stand is thinner and shinierNick76dune - Wednesday, August 21, 2019 - link
Now, that's a 1000 $ stand I can get behind!Icehawk - Wednesday, August 21, 2019 - link
This is really cool - we use 7050 & 7060s at work for our retail facing stuff and they are still pretty ugly/bulky - this is slick.
