Microsoft’s rival to Google’s Chromebooks is finally available for schools and students.
In
November the software giant announced Windows 11 SE, a version of its
operating system that is designed specifically for classrooms. It said
it would be available on low-cost devices, and is optimized for Edge,
Microsoft Office, and the company’s other cloud-based tools like
One-drive.
Users will not be able to download applications from
the Windows Store because it is not available on the machine; instead,
the computers have an authorized selection of apps that can be installed
on it – such as Zoom and Google Chrome.

The
operating system has also been simplified so that apps can only run
full screen, and Snap Layouts only load side-by-side. Widgets have also
been removed, as Microsoft found it would be a distracting element in a
classroom.
Those low-cost devices, meanwhile, include the Surface
Laptop SE priced at $249 in the US and £229 in the UK. There are also a
number of other laptops from Acer, Asus, Dell, and HP too.
