InFocus's New Kangaroo: a Screenless $99 Windows 10 Portable PC (venturebeat.com)

Posted by timothy on from the give-'em-out-like-candy dept.

An anonymous reader writes: 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.

    If you want to run Linux, buy something ARM-based, like Banana Pi or Raspberry Pi 2. There are quite descent boards, and they are much cheaper than $99.

    The $99 cost for this computer includes wifi, Bluetooth, a case, power supply, 4 hour battery, and 32 gig of storage. To similarly build up a Raspberry Pi would cost almost as much as this computer at $99.
