“Kangaroo is an amazing $99 Windows 10 portable PC”

Posted on 18. November 2015 Written by Marcel Weiss

Emil Protalinski at VentureBeat:

InFocus today debuted the Kangaroo, a $99 Windows 10 portable PC that “goes anywhere and works with any screen.” The term “mobile desktop” may seem like an oxymoron, but that really is the best description: Picture your typical desktop PC tower shrunk down to the size of a phablet sans screen; just like any desktop, you’ll still need to connect a mouse, keyboard, and monitor. Kangaroo is available on Newegg now, and will go on sale at the Microsoft Store by mid-November.

This is a part of the future of traditonal PCs.

If smartphones gain desktop computing power, then why should desktop computers for non-power users be bigger than smartphones?
