Sporting a hard, industrial rubber encasement, and optional damage-resistant Corning Gorilla Glass, the device has a touch screen which enables the Windows Ink feature, as well as support for an optional active pen.  For teachers specifically, a “Take a Test” app is also built into the laptop, which enables a browser-based, locked-down environment for more secure, online assessments.

Additionally, a “Set up School PCs” app is also included on the device, so a teacher can set up devices in three easy steps, without the need for dedicated IT support. Students, meanwhile, can enjoy the “explorer mode” dual camera system which uses a 1080p HD camera embedded on the keyboard deck to let students take video in tablet mode while viewing what they’re recording in real-time.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
