微軟推出面向大學生的筆記本電腦，叫板蘋果
For years, the Apple MacBook Air has been one of the most desirable computers in homes and on school campuses. The the 13-inch version hasn't been updated since 2015, and that has incoming students and their parents looking at alternatives like the Microsoft Surface Laptop.
數年以來，蘋果公司的MacBook Air一直是最受歡迎的筆記本電腦之一，無論居家使用還是在學校使用都很方便。自2015年以來，這款筆記本13英寸的版本就沒有更新過了，這就促使一波一波新學子和家屬開始尋找其他的替代品，比如微軟公司的Surface Laptop筆記本電腦。
Earlier this month, it was rumored that the Surface Laptop would be a Chromebook killer, going after the education market with low-priced units. What we actually got was a third-party Windows 10 S laptop from traditional PC manufacturers like Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, Samsung, and Toshiba. Priced around $299 with the centrally administered Windows 10 S operating system, these are obviously the systems aimed at supplanting Chromebooks in schools.
本月前日，有業內人士透露，Surface Laptop筆記本會成爲秒殺Chromebook的新機型。事實上這是一款第三方製造商生產的微軟10 S系統筆記本。製造商是宏碁，華碩，戴爾，HP，三星，東芝等傳統的筆記本電腦製造商。Surface Laptop的預裝系統是面向學生的版本Windows 10 S,顯然意在排擠Chromebook在學生市場裏的份額。
The Surface Laptop starts at $999, and comes with more robust components like an Intel Core i5 or i7 processor, up to 16GB RAM, up to 512GB SSD storage, and an option to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro for free. Along with its 13.5-inch screen and comfortable keyboard, these specs line up closer to the Apple MacBook Air 13-inch than any Chromebook.
Surface Laptop最初售價爲999美元，配置了第七代Intel i5、i7處理器，內存爲科可拓展到16G，容量可拓展到512G，可謂配置高端。屏幕尺寸爲13.5英寸，鍵盤操作舒適，這些配置比其他任何版本的Chromebook都更能接近蘋果MacBook Air 13英寸版的水準。
