Fast little machine.
So, I knew going in that I wanted this just for surfing the web and some word processing. I bought it used, $40 cheaper than retail. It was super simple to set up but took forever to run through Windows updates and when they were done - most of the memory was used. I had anticipated and bought a 64gb micro sd. Not sure why but the sd card would not mount. So, I will have to get a cheap adaptor and hope it works. The ports are quickly taken up so I will have to buy a usb hub. All in all, I really do like it - super fast and does what I want, but people should be aware they will have to make some concessions for the low price. There is no audio jack so if you want sound you have to set up Bluetooth speakers.

Kangaroo is a delightful addition to my IT wardrobe
The Kangaroo is terrific value for money especially when you consider that you get a Win10 licence in such a neat format.It is not a lap top or a gaming PC but its versatility does fill a gap for me.My wife works from home and generally uses her LG All-in-One Chromebase 21in machine for Web based applications. When the Kangaroo is connected to the Chromebase via HDMI, she can toggle between the Chrome OS and the Windows OS at the push of a button.The Kangaroo is also an excellent On-The-Go device with its internal 4 hour battery. I use my iPad as a display screen and tether to my iphone Hotspot for internet connection while on the move. This is especially useful while on holidays in our Motorhome when we can use the campsite Wifi or mobilephone HotSpot tethering.Nice quality shell and good performance for what I need it to do.I loaded KODI so that it can function as an Android Box for TV viewing at home and away controlled by a wireless mouse & keyboard.Plenty of on-line video available to show you how to do this. Job dome in about 10 mins and I am not a computer wizard.It has USB 2 & 3, Micro SD Card as well as HDMI connections......With 2Gig Ram and opportunity for storage expansion, it's a delightful addition to my IT wardrobe.I'm delighted with my purchase. In-fact I bought 2 Kangaroos. At this price of $99 with a Windows licence included, it is money well spend. ( Euro 150 after Delivery / Tax / Vat )

Love it.
I really like this. Although one could use an additional hard drive. Particularly since Windows 10 takes up more than half of the memory. Also a USB hub for additional attachments. For best performance, some things need to be connected directly to the kangaroo, ie an external hard drive, DVD drive and some printers. Therefore, sometimes there is a little musical usb swapping.

and great value with a full version of Windows
Solid computer for the size, and great value with a full version of Windows. WiFi antenna was a little too weak to function as an HTPC out of the box, but fortunately it allows a stronger antenna to be connected via USB. It took a few days for it to function correctly, but I think that's probably more a Windows 10 updating issue than a device issue.

Great for home or work
This excellent little box runs circles around the Roku I used to use. It started out running very warm to the touch, but is now running much cooler and has no problems streaming content from every website that I have tried.We are even going to be using these handy little boxes at work for one of our automation systems as it seems to run any flavor of Linux we throw at it with ease.Very stable, we've had one running our software now for two weeks without a hitch.

... turn my IPad into a laptop and it works like a charm
I use this to turn my IPad into a laptop and it works like a charm. Now that being said I am using this for light internet searches and a lot of word type docs. It does get hot if you run youtube so I would not recommend a lot of streaming. And the size is perfect to fit right into my IPad bag so I don't need an extra bag to take it with me.

Worst Product
This is the worst product I have purchased ever. Yes the system is portable, but keeps freezing even when I move a mouse, browse one tabbed web page. It keeps heating within very short time use.
