The data is transmitted to the screen "laptop" with the help of a special application. The developers of Superbook do not offer any limitless possibilities, but the user of such a system can work with documents, play games and even program. And all this - on the device at the price of only $ 100. In this situation, a small quasi-notebook can quite replace the usual one for those users who need only e-mail, documents, undemanding toys.
