Microsoft partner JP is also launching two Windows 10 devices in a similar price range. The Classmate Leap T303 is an education laptop that runs Windows Hello. It will start at $199, which enables users to log in to their devices using biometrics (such as face or fingerprints).

Both devices will be shown off at the Bett 2018 conference, Jan. 24–27, in Microsoft booth E300.
