ASUS Chromebook CR Series: Perfect For K–12 Learning Trips

Designed to satisfy the demands of K–12 students, ASUS unveiled the next-generation ASUS Chromebook CR line of laptops.

Whether enrolled in remote learning or in-person classroom instruction, the ASUS Chromebook CR series is the perfect partner for students. The robust and modular design ensures endurance and reliability with its interchangeable internal components. A 180° lay-flat or 360° flippable hinge and 11.6-inch or 12.2-inch Corning Gorilla Glass touchscreens give the laptops versatility for enhanced learning. Modern students’ adventurous mindset is encouraged by this design, which guarantees a fun and safe learning experience whether they are taking it in-person or online.

A trusted study partner 

A laptop that is used every day should be unbeatable for children in grades K–12. For added piece of mind, the ASUS Chromebook CR series has an all-around rubber bumper because scratches and knocks are an almost inevitable part of daily life for people who are busy and energetic. The laptops also have a durable design that has been certified to reach or surpass the US military-grade MIL-STD-810H standard.

The touchscreen is protected from scratches by thick Corning Gorilla Glass. Furthermore, little water spills on the desk or at the dinner table can be readily drained, cleaned, and dried with the spill-resistant keyboard’s ability to withstand modest spills undamaged. At last, the laptop remains cleaned for longer with the unique fingerprint-resistant coating.

Effortless flexibility by design 

Powered by an Intel N250 processor, the ASUS Chromebook CR series laptops have 360° flippable or 180° lay-flat hinges for a variety of use modes. Convertible devices (CR1104F, CR1204F) offer several modes of use, such as laptop, tablet, tent, and stand, or anything in between, while clamshell models (CR1104C, CR1204C) make group sharing simple. Discussions in groups and sharing in class have never been simpler.

With low blue light levels to safeguard the eyes, the huge 11.6-inch or 12.2-inch touchscreens with garaged stylus support increase productivity and are comfortable for students. With up to WiFi 6E (802.11ax) and optional 4G LTE connectivity, as well as up to 16 GB LPDDR5 Memory and 128 GB eMMC storage, students can utilise the laptop anywhere, at any time, and in an effective learning environment. With the 13 MP world-facing camera in tablet mode, kids can take pictures, make films, and explore their environment. A front-facing webcam with a resolution of up to 1080p FHD gives pupils high-quality images, making them appear sharp and clear for a better and more effective online learning experience.

Convenient, versatile I/O ports 

Two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C ports are positioned on either side of the ASUS Chromebook CR series laptops, providing a wide range of I/O ports that enable students to connect to any accessible devices with ease. Students may set up their learning space however and wherever they choose with the fact that they are both full-function ports that handle data, video output, and power delivery. The laptop can be charged from either side.

There are also two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, a Kensington Lock slot, an audio combo jack, and HDMI 1.4b. There is also an optional garaged stylus for individuals who want to add a user-friendly method of entering notes and doodles.

Comprehensive all-round protection 

The ASUS Chromebook CR series can be made more hygienic by adding ASUS Antimicrobial Guard technology, which is a surface coating on the keyboard, one of the most often touched areas of the laptop. Negatively charged microbial cells are drawn to the positively charged silver ions present in the coating. In order to harm the structure and prevent reproduction, the silver ions puncture the cell surface as they come into contact.

Up to WUXGA 16:10 screens offer improved visual experiences and high-quality colours, and they are TÜV Rheinland-certified for low blue-light levels to give students the best possible eye protection.

Maintaining ease

As easy as possible deployment and maintenance are the goals of the ASUS Chromebook CR series. Less downtime and more learning time are guaranteed by the modular architecture, which enables technicians to quickly repair and upgrade the essential hardware components. The underside features anti-drop captive screws that remove the possibility of misplacing these tiny components during repairing. Multi-layer security, automated upgrades, and simplified deployment are further guarantees provided by the supported Chrome Education Upgrade.
