It was reported that Microsoft may be developing a low-cost laptop that will compete with Chromebooks for the education market.
According to Windows Central, a laptop codenamed “Tenjin” has a plastic look with an HD (1,366 x 768) 11.6-inch display, a Celeron N4120, and up to 8GB RAM.
The device seems to have a full-size keyboard and trackpad, one USB-C and one A port, a headphone jack, and an AC port.
A Chromebook with similar performance will cost around $ 3 to $ 500 in the US, so you can probably expect the Tenjin to be in a similar price range, at least cheaper than the current Surface Laptop Go. ..
In addition, Microsoft is said to install a special OS called “Windows 11 SE” on devices for the education market, and it seems likely that “Tenjin” will be released as the Surface Laptop brand, so “Surface Laptop SE” etc. May be called.
It looks like the device is almost ready for release, and it is said that it will be announced within 2021 if there are no changes to the plan.
Since “Surface Laptop Go” has been released at a slightly premium price, “Tenjin” can be expected as a device that directly competes with Chromebook.
The rest depends on the selling price and the actual feeling of operation … What will happen?
