Microsoft has launched a new “Microsoft College Offer” in response to Apple’s MacBook Neo, offering students exclusive discounts on select Windows 11 PCs and bundles with Microsoft 365 Premium and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. Participating manufacturers including Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, and Lenovo are providing discounted systems, while some Surface devices have seen price hikes days later. This move positions Microsoft as a viable alternative for students looking for affordable laptops, particularly those seeking the benefits of Windows 11 and Microsoft’s suite of productivity tools.
