I just do not understand why anyone would buy this! Sounds wimpy to me. Also, size and weight in metric means little to me. With no speakers it is basically worthless in my humble opinion!

Size: 124mm length, 80.5mm width, and 12.9mm girth, is roughly the size of a smartphone. It comes with a removable base unit, which has an HDMI port, one USB 2.0 port, one USB 3.0 port, and a DC power port. The device weighs just 200 grams (without adapter and power cord), and even features a Windows Hello fingerprint sensor it is powered by a quad-core Intel 'Cherrytrail' Atom x5-Z8500 processor clocked at 1.44GHz, with a Burst frequency of 2.24GHz. Other features include 2GB of LPDDR3 RAM, and a 32GB of eMMC storage, which you can expand via microSDXC card (up to 128GB) should you need more storage. The battery is suggested to last four hours under "casual use", the portable PC also has a Micro-USB port for charging. I think one can use this port for a headset if your headset is adapted with an adapter female 3.5 to male MicroUSB the Kangaroo runs Windows 10. The mini-PC features Wi-Fi 802.11ac and Bluetooth 4.0 wireless connectivity. About a hundred US dollars or 144Canadian including shipping and taxes. I have put JAWS 17 on this and it seems to be pretty peppy. I will be testing it more this weekend to see how it works with docking station and usb keyboard and headset as well as without the docking station using Bluetooth keyboard and Bluetooth headset. Curious I am and so far it seems to be what I was looking for. There is no screen so one has to use the HDMI to connect to screen or IPad. Voice comes through when connected to screen using the HDMI port. However, I just need speakers ( no headphone jack) thus the use of the micro USB port for wired headset may be useful) and a keyboard. Voice commands will be of interest using Microsoft's answer to Apples SIRI. Most important is how jaws will work in this small unit. I suspect for simple applications all will be fine but if one opens up to much then unit may become very sluggish due to the limited 2 gig of RAM. robin -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of David Ferrin Sent: December 31, 2015 8:39 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Kangaroo computer and JAWS 17 I've only been monitoring this thread enough to make sure it is on topic, but I must admit it has got my attention. So it is some sort of full fledged tablet that can run JAWS, interesting. -----Original Message----- From: Greg Wocher Sent: Thursday, December 31, 2015 8:50 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Kangaroo computer and JAWS 17 Hello, This little computer only costs $99.
