Microsoft at the Bett 2017 education technology conference in London
has announced new budget Windows 10 laptops starting at $189. The
Redmond giant, in addition to PCs, has also announced its new
cloud-based service dubbed Microsoft Intune for Education. The company
made announcements alongside Google, which declared its focus on classroom-centric Chromebooks.
The
company claims that the new Windows 10 PCs offer "power, performance
and security" schools need at the same price as Chromebooks. In
partnership with OEMs, Microsoft
has unveiled Windows 10 PCs from Acer, HP, and Lenovo. Microsoft's
Intune for Education is claimed to be engineered to integrate with
Windows 10 and other cloud services including Office 365 Education.
Intune for Education will be available in preview in the coming weeks
and will be available this spring at $30 per device, and via volume
licensing.
The new Windows 10 laptops include Acer's TravelMate
Spin B118 Convertible Notebook which features an 11.6-inch convertible
notebook with a 360-degree hinge. It will be available at a starting
price of $299 (roughly Rs. 20,500). The laptop supports four usage modes
and runs on Windows 10 Pro with a stylus to support Windows Ink. Acer
claims a battery life of up to 13 hours.
