Friends Kingdom: [iPad] Using your iPad as a Windows 10 Touchscreen PC

All,

I have a MacBook Pro 13" pre-retina computer with maximum RAM and running Windows 8.1 via Parallels (I will update to Windows 10 soon). This system generally works well for me but I sometimes wish to have a Windows 10 computer for work purposes and to be able to access my work email.

I also have an iPad Air 2 which I use regularly.

I recently learned of the Kangaroo Windows 10 PC that is available on NewEgg for $99 USD (or for me it was on Newegg.ca for $139 CDN (our dollar sucks).

I received it on Friday and after tinkering with it over the weekend I am pleasantly surprised. For my purposes, the low price provided a great alternative to me. I can hook it up via HDMI to my second television that I use as a large monitor for my MacBook Pro. I can connect up my bluetooth mouse and my mac keyboard which I already own and I am all set.

What I really find enjoyable is that I can hook up my iPad Air 2 via the lightning cable to the USB 3.0 port and can control the Kangaroo via the iPad touch screen and also, believe it or not, with the mouse.

Right now I am installing Photoshop Elements 11 (old yes but I own the licence) and doing so on my iPad via the mouse and also the Windows 10 keyboard.

It seems that I cannot multi task using this. When I slide over another app from the right (e.g. mail it seems to stop whatever process is running on the PC).

So, if you are looking for an inexpensive Windows 10 PC, want one that can be used as a touch screen tablet ON YOUR iPAD, then consider this device.

By the way, it has a built in battery that lasts up to four hours (I am running it without the power cable right now), has 2 GB RAM, has 32 GB solid state storage (with a Micro SD card slot - I have 64 GB more storage on the card), a Cherry Bay processor, a fingerprint sensor for log in, a built in access point (I believe), Bluetooth 4.0, Wifi A/C and - did I say is only $99?! Oh and that price includes a Windows 10 on the device without a lot of bloatware.

Consider it.

No, I don't work for them. I am just surprised that this works as well as it does for the money. And LOVE the fact that I can use a PC on my iPAD.
