Further, the PC sports two USB ports on the board (one USB 3.0 and one USB 2.0), an HDMI output, dual-band 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.2, a headphone jack and microphone.

Thanks to the Microsoft partnership, the Kano PC will come pre-installed with Windows 10 in S mode, as well as Minecraft: Education Edition. Kano will also pack in additional software like How Computers Work, Make Art, the Kano App and Paint 3D.

The Kano PC will cost $399.99 CAD and will ship this October. Pre-orders are now open on Kano’s website.
