Microsoft's rumored Windows 10 Cloud-based notebooks will compete with Google Chromebooks.
Microsoft is gearing up for an event in New York on May 2 where the company is expected to make some major announcements. While the company has been tight-lipped about the announcements it is going to make, the invite sent to media hinted at the unveiling of products aimed at the educational market. Ahead of the event, a leaked document is doing the rounds on the web that claims Microsoft is working on a cloud-based version of its Windows 10. It further reveals the company will be launching a reference hardware that will be competing with Google’s Chromebooks.
Microsoft’s much-anticipated Windows 10 Cloud is believed to be a stripped down version of the main operating system, built specifically for students. A leaked screenshot from Microsft’s document titled “Windows 10 Cloud performance”, published by Windows Central, reveals details about minimum specifications required by a hardware to run Windows 10 Cloud and the same have been compared with Chromebook specifications as well.
The benchmarks for a device, conveniently dubbed as ‘CloudBook’, running Windows 10 Cloud includes a battery life of over 10 hours and a quick 20-sec boot-up time. Other noteworthy minimum specifications required are a quad-core Intel Celeron processor or above, 4GB of RAM, 32 GB or 64GB internal storage and Fast eMMC or Solid State Drive (SSD) for storage. It also includes an optional pen or touch-support.
