The casing is finished in black satin aluminium and will slip into your pocket. Connect the Kangaroo to any screen or device - and access Windows 10 64-bit Home edition, Microsoft Office and your personal files.

Okay, this is obviously not going to allow you to run a lot of RAM heavy programs, but if you use a lot of web apps like Google Docs or Office 360, this would be a nice and inexpensive little toy to add to the collection.
I don't actually need one, but at that price I just might have to buy one. Of course Windows would have to go first thing.
