New Delhi:
Microsoft is hosting the MicrosoftEDU event in New York on Tuesday, and the focus of the will be the education segment. To compete with Apple’s MacBook and Google’s Chromebook laptops, the Redmond, Washington-based company is expected to launch Surface Laptop.
But the big rumour is that Microsoft is expected to launch Windows 10 Cloud operating system, which will complement the new low-end education-focused Chromebook alternatives from Microsoft.Â
Microsoft is expected to launch Windows 10 Cloud OS, a scaled-down version of the regular Windows 10. According to earlier leaks, the Cloud OS is said to run applications from the Windows Store only. Seen as Google’s Chrome OS rival, the new OS by Microsoft should boot fast and be easy to manage while not compromising on battery life
Surface Laptop is expected to have 13.5-inch Pixel Sense display with 3.4 million pixels leaked online by Twitter user WalkingCat (@h0x0d). It will have a keyboard covered with Alcantara (the material used on Surface Pro 4’s Type Cover keyboard).
Microsoft is also expected to launch Windows 10 Cloud OS notebook, which is dubbed as CloudBook and is seen as rival to Google’s Chromebook.Â
Here are the live updates:
