Microsoft apparently is going back to its roots with a new 'Surface for students'—a smaller, cheaper Surface Laptop that it reportedly plans to announce soon.
The new laptop, code-named Sparti, will start with a Core i5, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of storage, for somewhere between $500 and $600. That’s underpowered relative to other student-targeted laptops, although Microsoft may view this as another challenge to the Chromebooks that dominate American classrooms.
