No offence to anyone at facebook. Its just that I donot get that how would the experience be any different from using a laptop or a mobile phone for making video calls?

If we ignore the device is made by Facebook, it seems to be a decent product. According to a The Verge review the call quality is better compared to competing services.
Being a dedicated device it’s also easier to use for non-technical people (I wouldn’t trust elderly, non-technical people with a Windows laptop and Skype on it, but I’m pretty sure they would be able to use Portal just fine).
