HP ProBook X360 Education Edition
Soon after Microsoft announced the
stripped-down Windows 10 S version, alongside the
Surface Laptop,
partners have introduced their first notebook variants running on the
education-focused software. HP has introduced the ProBook x360
eEducation Edition and Acer has introduces the TravelMate Spin B1 - both
running on Windows 10 S. Both the laptops have been launched earlier,
and the hardware remains the same, but the software in it is the new
Windows 10 S, and the price tag is much cheaper.
Starting with the
HP ProBook x360 Education Edition, the rugged device has a 11.6-inch
(1336x768 pixels) display powered by an Intel Celeron processor, 4GB of
RAM, and 64GB of storage. This laptop was
launched in December
last year, and was made with schools and students in mind. The company
touts the new ProBook x360 Education Edition to be military standard
certified to withstand accidental spills and drops by kids. It has a
360-degree hinge to rotate completely into a tablet, or even a tent
stand for ease of viewing. Furthermore, there's a dual camera system
which uses a 1080p HD camera embedded in the keyboard to let users take
video in tablet mode as well. There are two USB 3.1 ports, one USB
Type-C ports, one HDMI 1.4b port, one AC power connector, and one 3.5mm
audio jack. The company claims that laptop can stay active for up to 11
hours of school activities and homework. The Windows 10 S version will
retail for $299 (roughly Rs. 19,200), and is available in select stores
right away.
Acer TravelMate Spin B1
The
Acer TravelMate Spin B1 convertible has a similar 11.6-inch (1920x1080
pixels) display, is powered by an Intel Celeron processor, 4GB of RAM,
and 64GB of storage. The laptop also has a 360 degree hinge, and comes
with a stylus as well. Connectivity options include a dual-band 802.11ac
2~CHECK~2 MIMO Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, a GbE port, USB ports, a webcam,
an SD card reader, a touchpad, and a spill-resistant keyboard. The
Windows 10 S variant is priced at $299 (roughly Rs. 19,200) as well, and
is available in select retail stores in the US and
online as well. Dell and Asus are also set to launch their own education laptops in the US market soon.
