Kangaroo launches Microsoft Windows 10 mobile PC for $99 | ZDNet

Good news for those of use who like to travel light. Portland Or. based InFocus has released a new Windows 10 mobile desktop in its smallest form - the Kangaroo.

The 2 inch by 3 inch by half an inch thick device is ultra portable, light, and works with any screen.

The 8 ounce device comes with a quad core Intel Atom x5-Z8500 processor, Intel Gen8 graphics and 2GM LPDDR3 memory.

It also comes with battery and dock, HDMI and USB ports. You connect the Kangaroo to a mouse, keyboard and monitor or iPad to access your Windows 10 desktop programs and files.


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.


You could use the device as a workstation during the day and in the evening it can become an entertainment streaming media PC via an HDMI connection on any TV.

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. :D

I'm running their 10 update, and some bugs have been fixed since it was released ( i waited a month and read reviews before i was brave enough to make the switch) I won't install it on my file server though. That's staying with 7 for privacy reasons!
