    The under $100 Windows 10 machine!

    It's the Kangaroo, the world’s smallest personal, portable PC. It has a lot of features, especially for a PC only about the size of a large smart phone. In addition to Windows 10, it offers a Windows Hello fingerprint reader, Bluetooth, WiFi, and an integrated battery. By connecting a mouse, keyboard and monitor a user can access all Windows 10 desktop programs and files. It's powered by a Intel Cherrytrail (Z8500) processor and has 32GB of memory, along with a micro SD card slot to add more. The included Kangaroo Dock has port access for HDMI and USB, with one 2.0 and one 3.0 USB port available. Users simply connect a Kangaroo Dock to existing screens and devices – from PC monitors and big screen TVs all the way to projectors via the HDMI out port. It can also be connected to an iPad so you can Windows 10 there too. Four hours of “casual battery use” (whatever that means) makes the Kangaroo better than PC sticks that can't operate away from power. But wait, there's more! There's also WiFi, Bluetooth, plus something something they call a hardware Action Switch. That allows users to access to the Windows 10 desktop even when there is no WiFi. You can buy an additional Kangaroo dock for $39. That way you can leave the extra dock connected at the office and just transport the Kangaroo unit itself in pocket or backpack. It's available at Newegg.com, the Microsoft Store Online and a few other retail locations for $99.00. To learn more about Kangaroo visit
