In a bid to topple the Chromebooks, Microsoft has released new set of convertible PCs and Laptops with prices less than $300 (#108,000) and $200(#72,000) respectively. The devices come with Microsoft’s latest Windows 10 and free software to aid the studies of students.

This includes two new Lenovo devices coming at great prices for their specifications. The Lenovo 100e, a brand-new Intel Celeron Apollo Lake powered PC, has a starting price at just $189 (less than #70,000) and The Lenovo 300e, an affordable 2-in-1 convertible PC with pen support, comes at $279 (app. #100,000).

Microsoft also released tow new devices from JP- one of its largest partners. They are the Classmate Leap T303 laptop with Windows Hello, starting at $199 (less than #72,000) and The Trigono V401 2-in-1 with pen and touch, starting at $299 (less than #108,000). These new devices join the HP ProBook x360 11 EE, which continues to be one of Microsoft’s best-selling 2-in-1 devices in education at just #108,000 and the recently released HP Stream 11 Pro G4 EE PC starting at #81,000. Since the new devices are joining this line up, then we think there’s no need worrying about their specifications as these devices have pretty cool specifications like 4GB RAM, HD screen and very good battery life among others.

Fact is you will be truly getting value for your money, as the software alone is worth more than the money. They come with built in office 365 and tools like Word, OneNote, and Teams etc which will effectively assist teachers and students in over 146 countries.

Microsoft also has some new partnerships in STEM learning. They will be partnering with BBC Worldwide Learning to bring the stunning BBC Earth natural history film Oceans: Our Blue Planet to classrooms and museums around the world. They will also be partnering with LEGO® Education to offer a new free online Hacking STEM lesson plan that has students use the Pythagorean Theorem to explore and measure topography in 2D/3D space.
