| Classroom Pen 2 from Microsoft for students |
Microsoft is about to release a new classroom pen called Classroom Pen 2. The pen will be listed on April 27th and will be sold directly to schools.
The company launched its first classroom pen in 2019, at $ 39.99 per pen.
It is compatible with any device that supports the MPP protocol, including many non-Windows devices.
The Microsoft School Classroom Pen 2 Classroom Pen 2 is sold in packs of 20 pens for $ 399.80, which means each pen is $ 19.99.
According to a Microsoft post, it appears that this pen is only optimized for Microsoft Surface Pro and Surface Go devices, not to mention other Windows devices.
Microsoft stated that the stylus has an improved design compared to the previous model, although not many details are shared in the screen.
The Classroom 2 pen appears to have a different color and there is a pen holder attached to the writing cap.
The company also said: The new device has a longer body, which could improve the installation method.
The pen has two buttons and it shares some classroom functions with the Class Pen.
The pen comes with a replaceable tip and battery, and has a hole for teachers to attach a string to attach the pen to your surface.
This release is part of Microsoft's effort to challenge Chromebooks in education. With so many students starting home schooling around the world, 2020 has been the best year for these devices ever.
In the past few years, Microsoft has worked with partners like Acer, Dell, and Lenovo to launch dozens of Windows PCs for less than $ 500, as well as updates to Microsoft's teams for the classroom.
Students who want to draw diagrams and take notes from a laptop computer may need to use a pen.
Digital ink writing can help schools and organizations improve sustainability by using less paper and printers.
