The education market is an area that Microsoft dare not ignore at present. In particular, Google has cut into the education field with Chromebook, and Apple also advocates that iPad can be used as a learning device for schoolchildren. Microsoft previously wanted to strengthen the layout of the education market through Windows 10 S. Microsoft cooperated with Kano, a textbook company that mainly assembles computer kits for children, to launch an assembled notebook computer equipped with Windows 10 S, with a two-in-one design similar to Surface, equipped with 1 1.6-inch touch screen and a separate keyboard. 265438+ is designed according to the model needed for learning in the 20th century.

The suggested price of Kano PC is $299.99, and it is expected to be delivered in the United States, China and Britain in June+10 this year.

▲ Although it is a DIY computer, it adopts a fairly simple modular structure.

Of course, it is conceivable not to adopt too complicated mechanism to lock the Kano PC where students learn to assemble computers. Most of the components have been modularized, and students can use each module as long as they put it on the carrier and plug in the cable. From the photo, the cable is almost a universal USB interface on the market, and the transparent acrylic on the back of the machine can still see the internal configuration after installation.

Kano PC is equipped with Intel Atom x5-Z8350 processor, 4GB RAM and 64GB storage, and provides micreoSD card slot, WiFi and Bluetooth. Strictly speaking, it is almost an industrial single-board computer. However, Kano PC also cooperates with Microsoft to provide educational courses including learning computer principles and basic coding, and at the same time, it is equipped with the educational version of My World, Paint 3D, Microsoft team and other applications provided by Microsoft. At the same time, due to the adoption of Windows 10 S, children are also prevented from installing problematic applications themselves.
