Asus at CES 2019 has introduced the Chromebook Education series that provides lightweight, ruggedized Chrome OS computer solutions for educational use. The series includes 11.6-inch ASUS Chromebook C204 and the 14-inch ASUS Chromebook C403,14-inch ASUS Chromebook Flip C214 convertible and ASUS Chromebook Tablet CT100
ASUS Chromebook Tablet CT100 has a 9.7-inch QXGA wide-angle touch-display tablet. The new series features durability, spill- and tamper-resistant keyboards and all-around rubber bumpers to withstand the rigors that electronics often face in schools. The stylus slides into a little garage in the tablet’s frame for safekeeping, when it’s not being used for art, tracing letters, or practicing numbers. Inside this slim slate is a Hexa-core OP1 processor, made especially for Chromebooks. That works alongside 4GB of RAM with 32GB of onboard storage, Chromebook Tablet CT100 has a 35Wh lithium-polymer battery, enough for a full school day, and it charges via USB Type-C.
ASUS Chromebook C204 – Tough, compact, and school-ready
Asus Chromebook C204 can survive falls up to 120cm when dropped flat, and up to 80cm when dropped on its sides. A raised rubber rail on the bottom of the laptop makes it even easier to hang onto, so it’s less likely to be dropped in the first place. The 11.6-inch HD display features an anti-glare coating is attached to the base via a 180° hinge that allows the laptop to lie completely flat. Its hinge has been tested for 50,000 open and close cycles so it won’t loosen over time. Powered by dual-core Celeron processor from Intel as well as 4GB of RAM with 32GB of onboard storage.A USB Type-A port makes it easy to connect external storage or plug in a mouse, and there are two reversible USB Type-C ports for newer peripherals. The microSD card makes it easy to transfer photos from a camera to the cloud, and the audio combo jack lets students plug in to listen to virtual lessons or make video calls using the HD webcam. ASUS Chromebook C204 has been upgraded to a 50Wh battery; enough to last all day long. And to make sure there are no dropped connections, dual-band Wi-Fi (802.11ac) allows for connections on the 2.4GHz band as well as the less crowded 5GHz frequency.
ASUS Chromebook Flip C214
Asus Chromebook Flip C214 has a convertible design that effortlessly transforms between a tablet and a laptop. The C214 has an 11.6” HD display with an anti-glare coating (available on certain configurations) and is anchored by a durable 360° hinge that allows it to seamlessly switch between laptop and tablet mode depending on the type of lesson. The C214 has the same rugged exterior, spill-proof keyboard, and dark grey color scheme. The hardware includes an N4000 and optional N4100 Celeron processor, 4GB of RAM, and 32GB of storage complemented by expansion via MicroSD or USB Type-A. Students can connect to external displays or charge up via either of the two USB Type-C ports, and a stable and reliable internet connection is facilitated by the dual-band 802.11ac.
ASUS Chromebook C403
ASUS Chromebook C403 utilizes the same ruggedized design as the C204, but places it in a larger form factor. Its 14” HD display provides ample workspace for longer and more complicated projects. It has a matte coating to minimize distracting reflections from overhead lights, and a 180° hinge that allows for more freedom of motion and different work positions.C403 is equipped with up to a dual-core CPU from Intel, and features 4GB of RAM with 32GB of onboard storage for working on assignments offline. C403 is rated for up to 11 hours on a single charge. Rounding out the collection of I/O ports is an audio combo jack for when students want to buckle down and do some work while listening to music, or need to watch video presentations for school. Headphones aren’t required for great sound, though; extra room in the chassis allowed for more powerful speakers. The included stereo speakers feature extra-large chambers that pump out volume up to 80dB.
ASUS Chromebook Tablet CT100, ASUS Chromebook C204, ASUS Chromebook Flip C214 and ASUS Chromebook C403 will be available in the coming months
