Moreover, with its 42WHr, 3-cell Li-ion battery, this laptop can provide up to 10 hours of running time which is more than enough to last an entire school day.
Other notable features for the ASUS BR1100 include military-grade MIL-STD-810H for durability, ASUS BacGuard for an extra protective layer from bacteria, spill-resistant keyboard, and TÜV Rheinland’s certification that ensures low blue-light emission.
Built to last
The ASUS BR1100’s military-grade MIL-STD-810H certification ensures the laptop would last. Its rubber safety grips and 3D-textured finish reduces the risk of slips and fumbles. While the micro-dimpled finish makes this notebook scratch resistant. All four exterior edges and corners are protected by a tough rubber bumper, which reduces the impact of physical shocks to ensure critical components are always safe and sound.
A spill-resistant keyboard for accidental liquid spillage and tamper-resistant keycaps ensures that the laptop remains functional.
To help protect users, the surfaces of the BR1100 are treated with ASUS BacGuard. This has been scientifically shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria by over 99-percent over a 24-hour period.
Features for students
Designed with distance learning in mind, the ASUS BR1100 comes with features that will aid students with their education. 3D noise reduction (3DNR) technology is built in the 720p HD camera which eliminates up to 94% of the random image noise that naturally affects any camera. This in turn improves image quality without compromising any details.
As a further aid to remote learning and video conferencing, the laptop has an AI noise-cancelling technology that isolates unwanted noise from human speech ensuring clearer voice quality.
