Unlikely. If we can get x amount of computing power in a brain-chip, the same technology is probably going to enable machines with x*100 the computing power in a regular computer, simply because of the power limitations you'd need to put in place for a chip that's going to function inside your body. Sure, maybe a lot of people won't need that amount of power, but professionals who need to do a lot of hard data processing will. Or they'll rent computing power from some cloud service, but that's not going to be free either.

Not sure why it would have to be in people's brains though, if it's going to use an external display anyway.
