The company is hopeful that this new Surface Laptop will replace the Chromebooks. Unlike other Surface models, it does not run the traditional version of Windows.

The price of the laptop is $999 with new Windows 10 S installed in it. This new version of OS (Operating System) by Microsoft was also launched at the same event. Much like other operating systems, this new OS will render higher performance even on lower-end hardware.

This Surface model clearly hopes to recapture the ground it has lost to Chromebooks over the past few years. On the contrary, Surface Laptop costs more than any traditional Chromebook available in the market. It will be certainly amusing to see how Microsoft captures its market share.
