The techies also released a brand new edition of its Windows 10 operating system made for schools and designed to run on low featured computers probably low in prices.
Market predict that the move was towards help Microsoft compete with big technology giants like Google and Apple in the schools education market.
also said it can run the new Windows 10S operating system and, despite the price, had been designed with students, who were about to leave school in mind"
Carolina Milanesi, an, analyst at Creative Strategies, said: "Apple's Macbook Air is also popular with students and it hasn't produced a new model for a while" this is true but apple remains to keep its own standard thats why the new products are not launches regularly.
He also said"So this is all about Microsoft trying to steal a march on its old rival."
Ms Milanesi said"I think it's a compelling proposition for schools - but the first, question is how, easy will it be for schools who have already invested in, Chromebooks to make the transition?''
Also said "Third party hardware suppliers will be asking what is in this for them, especially if they are making hardware for the Chrome operating system too." which is noticeable point.

"Microsoft has already convinced some suppliers such as Acer to come on board, but it may have to offer incentives to keep them engaged."and this is not that easy now a days.
Windows 10S made for stronger virus protection and good battery life, and will be available, on third party PCs which runs more in india with a starting price of $189.which is costly for Indian market.
Microsoft and Apple given the school computing market, but they have struggling with the recent rise of Chromebooks - low-cost PCs running Google's Chrome operating system (OS) which is new competition for them.
According to consulting firm future source, 58% of devices sold to US schools in 2016 were Chromebooks which is interesting fact 22% ran Windows operating systems which is good and 19% ran Apple which is curious. To stay in market Apple need new strategy which will rise the market place of apple.
Early Microsoft said devices using, Windows 10S would only run applications provided through, the Windows Store, and buy on it which would help maintain their security and speed and income though. It also said the OS can be easily handled by teachers to set up and manage the work and studies.
