CHICAGO/SAN FRANCISCO: Apple Inc on March 27 rolled out a new iPad and classroom software aimed at grabbing more of the US education market, but did not cut the price of its entry-level tablet despite schools flocking to laptops costing a third less. 

Apple is looking to reassert dominance in US schools, where inexpensive laptops running software from Alphabet Inc's Google and Microsoft Corp now top iPad by sales, offering a cheap way to get to cloud-based productivity tools.
