There are a bunch of atom-based devices for a hundred dollars or so.

- jsmeaton 11y agoThat looks interesting, but it's out of stock in Australia at t he moment. It does say Intel HD graphics, but does that mean 1080p?
- Sanddancer 11y agoYep, the video chip in it handles 1080p with no problem, and should handle 4k even.
- DrScump 11y agoThe Kangaroo is unavailable in Australia?
- adisbladis 11y agoIntel HD graphics is the GPU chipset. I have a tablet with the same Z8500 CPU with a 2560x1440 screen and it's really smooth. Supposedly it can handle 4K out of the HDMI-port but this is not something I have tried yet.
- NKCSS 11y agoThat kangaroo looks awesome; I wanted to get three, but it seems NewEgg doesn't ship them to the netherlands?
- T-A 11y agoIf [1] is true (and I have no particular reason to believe otherwise) you can get an 8" tablet with Cherry Trail SoC, expansion ports, acceptable screen resolution and HDMI out for $0.11 less than a Chromebit.
