InFocus just released the Kangaroo, a laptop with Windows 10 που κοστίζει 99 δολάρια. Η device Kangaroo is already available from Newegg, and will start selling from Microsoft Stores by mid-November.
But let's see what he can do:
The Kangaroos microcomputer offers the power of a cheap full size computer with the ease and portability of a mobile phone.
The black matte aluminum box is powered by an Intel Cherrytrail (Z8500) SOC, has 2GB RAM, and a 32GB drive (only 18GB is available, but storage is expandable via a microSD card).
It features on-board batteries (up to four hours in 'occasional use').
The standalone Kangaroo Dock, which you can swap with other upcoming ones, includes an HDMI port and two USB ports.
So you can connect it cable HDMI to your TV. Kangaroo takes less than 30 seconds to start up, although that time will probably slow down over time.
You can plug in your mouse and a keyboard and you're ready to get started. InFocus refers to the device as "a no-compromise PC at a price that will make Windows 10 accessible to everyone."
Actually the device is running Windows 10 Home and has it activated Windows Hello.
This means that it has a fingerprint reader that will allow you to connect without a password or PIN (touch screen needed).
Because the primary connection is via HDMI, the sound it works instantly if you are using a monitor like your TV.
The built-in Wi-Fi works flawlessly, although the VB reviewer found it somewhat slow. Quick trials have shown that the Wi-Fi chip in Kangaroos is not as powerful as those on laptops, but that is no surprise.
