A recent leak has left us information about Windows 11 SE, an operating system with which Microsoft would have a goal as clear as it is important, compete directly with Chrome OS, and more specifically with low-cost Chromebooks which, as many of our readers will know, have become very popular in the education sector, as well as in the professional sector.
According to the source of this information, Windows 11 SE will be used in a low-cost Surface device, Which means that Microsoft will not only shape the software, but will also create the necessary hardware to compete with those Chromebooks. Regarding the operating system, we can expect a similar approach to what we saw with Windows 10 S, although it may come without its own limitations when it comes to downloading and installing applications.
On the other hand, we can also hope numerous optimizations To offer good performance in modest hardware configurations, which makes sense considering the supposed specs of that low-cost Surface that has been leaked:
- Celeron N4120 processor.
- 4GB-8GB of RAM.
- 11.6-inch screen with 1,366 x 768 pixel resolution.
- USB Type-C and Type-A connectors.
- 3.5mm jack.
- Chassis built entirely in plastic.
- Windows 11 SE.
We see that this low-cost Surface would have its own specifications of a low-end laptop, and very common in cheaper Chromebooks. The plastic chassis is also a clear sign that the important thing is to reduce costs as much as possible.
This new Surface with Windows 11 SE is expected to be announced at the end of this year, and that its price is around 400 euros. It can become a good option for professionals in the education sector, and also for those looking for an inexpensive but well-tuned equipment. However, keep in mind that Microsoft has not yet confirmed its existence.
