14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft used BettFest this week to highlight a series of devices aimed at the education market and built by partners, all running Windows 10, offering LTE, and available from as low as $185.
It’s not a secret the Redmond-based tech giant is betting big on the education business, and with the help of its rich partner lineup, it can make Windows 10 one of the go-to choices for students and teachers.
And the new lineup of devices come with several important capabilities, including LTE support to allow for on-the-go connectivity.
The new five devices announced this week are the following:
- Acer TravelMate Spin B3, starting at $329
- AcerTravelMate B3, starting at $239
- Asus ExpertBook BR1100, starting at $279
- JP-IK Leap Connect T304, starting at $229
- JP-IK Leap T304, starting at $185
“To stay connected and engaged in remote and hybrid learning environments, students need a device with all-day battery life, an HD camera, and a high-quality mic, as well as the speed, power, and storage to keep up with their inquisitive minds. One of the most unique models in our portfolio is the new Dell Latitude 3120 2-in-1, which puts the power of learning in students’ hands with the latest Intel Celeron processor, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of storage,” Microsoft says.
New Microsoft Classroom Pen
In addition, Microsoft has also announced an updated Microsoft Classroom Pen which comes with a longer case and a $19.99 price tag.
“We’re excited to announce an updated Microsoft Classroom Pen. The Microsoft Classroom Pen 2 has a longer enclosure and the same great experiences you are used to, at the more affordable price of $19.99 US MSRP. Now, more students can have the option to type, touch, or write—whichever works best for them and for their specific learning situation,” Microsoft says.
