New Chromebook won't break with 365-pound person standing on it
among the toughest Chromebooks out there.
CTL claims its NL6x Extra-Rugged Chromebook for
Education won't break if a 365-pound (165 kilogram)
person stands on it. It can also withstand drops of 70
centimeters, more than 2 feet.
That makes the $269 laptop ideal for classrooms, where
clumsy children can drop and rough up laptops. The
device has the look of a small briefcase, with a
retractable handle on the top to carry it.
The laptop has been reinforced to ensure it doesn't
break. At the top is a protective cover that can double
as a whiteboard. The lower layer has a shock absorber
in case of drops. The hinges and open ports are also
reinforced.
The extra layers have made the laptop slightly heavy at
1.38 kilograms (3 pounds), about the same weight as
other rugged Chromebooks like Lenovo's Chromebook 11e.
The laptop is otherwise similar to many Chromebooks
available today. It has an 11.6-inch screen that displays
images at a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels, 16GB of
storage, 4GB of memory, 802.11ac Wi-Fi and an Intel
Celeron 2940 dual-core processor.
The laptop can run for nine hours on a single battery
charge. External hard drives can be attached to the
USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 ports. The laptop also has a 2.0-
pixel webcam and an SD card reader.
The extra-rugged Chromebook has Chrome OS, which is
designed for computing on the Internet. Chromebooks are
popular for installations in places like schools as bare-
bones laptops accessing applications on internal clouds.
