![]() ![]() Tenjin would have to be priced below the Surface Laptop Go, which starts at $549 in the U.S. Allegedly, this SKU would come with special optimizations, as well as features for educational institutions that use low-end hardware. This Windows 11 SE is being developed specifically for low-cost school PCs like Tenjin. As a result, Windows Central said Microsoft is also working on a new edition of Windows 11 called "Windows 11 SE" (SE could stand for Student Edition). Project Tenjin marks a new approach by Microsoft to gain a foothold in the education market. The device reportedly has a keyboard and trackpad, a USB-A port, a USB-C port, a headphone jack and a power connection via an external power adapter (barrel-style AC port). The whole thing is designed for use by students in a classroom environment. The device would have an all-plastic case, a 1,366 x 768 11.6-inch display, an Intel Celeron N4120 processor and up to 8 GB of RAM.Īccording to the sources, it is supposed to be a "no-frills notebook" that is supposed to be as inexpensive as possible. Citing its own sources, Windows Central states that a low-cost Surface Laptop for the education market is in development under the codename Tenjin. I had seen it in the following tweet from Tom Warren who broke it all down in this article on The Verge and links to this article from Windows Central.Įven though it has not been confirmed by Microsoft, the whole thing sounds plausible. It seems that Microsoft does have ambitions for the Chromebook market after all. ![]() Because at the beginning of this year, there was the admission that Microsoft can't really offer anything there (see Microsoft: Chromebooks are cheaper and faster than Windows machines). ![]() I had not Microsoft on the radar for this area, because I was under the mistaken belief that Redmond had finally said goodbye to this area with its Windows 11 hardware requirements. So the coming months will see declining sales of Chromebook sales. Recently, I did read that there was some saturation in Chromebooks because buyers had hit during the coronavirus pandemic. Especially in the U.S., Google is picking up buyers in the education market with its low-cost Chromebooks.
