Today, March 16, Apple sent journalists an invite to an event March 27, likely to show off some new products. But instead of hosting at its brand-new campus, or at any venue in the Bay Area as it tends to do, the forthcoming event will be held at Lane Tech College Prep High School in Chicago, Illinois. It’s highly likely that whatever Apple announces will be focused on education.

Perhaps that’ll mean some new low-end MacBook laptops (rumors still circulate that it plans to revamp the MacBook Air), or new iPads, which Apple seems convinced that students can use instead of laptops. Students in high school and middle school around the US have taken to using Chromebooks, highly affordable laptops running Google’s Chrome operating system that are often provided by the schools themselves.
