A laptop from Microsoft has leaked out and it is expected to bump in the education market and also aiming to compete against the Chromebooks as the Microsoft Surface Laptop is expected to run on Windows 10 S, an operating system that will only run apps that are available on the Windows App store.
The Surface Laptop will pack a 13.5-inch PixelSense Display and it will come in Platinum, Cobalt Blue, and Graphite Gold. The Surface Laptop will also come with an Alcantara keyboard, the same fabric used in the premium Surface Pro 4 keyboard.
The Microsoft Surface Laptop will come in regular USB port, a miniDisplay port and weirdly, the Surface Laptop doesn’t come with a USB Type-C port. The Microsoft Surface Laptop is expected to be unveiled later tonight.
I think it’s a great decision by Microsoft to use Windows 10S on this machine. Not only will it ensure its security especially from threats like viruses, but if this is selling well, it will eventually force developers to port their software to WIndows Store in the future. However, i think Microsoft Surface Laptop is too pricey. And it’s only a regular laptop. I would totally pick HP Probook x360 or Acer TravelMate B1 over this.
