ASUS Philippines launches two new 11.6-inch Chromebooks for the education segment: the ASUS Chromebook CR1 and the ASUS Chromebook Flip CR1. These laptops are designed to be durable, versatile, and easy to use for students and teachers.
Rugged Laptop Design
The ASUS Chromebook CR1 and Flip CR1 are built to survive the daily challenges of home, school, and outdoor use. They have passed the U.S. military-grade MIL-STD-810H durability tests, which include drop, pressure, vibration, and temperature tests. They also have an all-around rubber bumper, a spill-resistant keyboard, and a micro-dimpled finish that resists fingerprints and scratches.
The laptops come with a 3-year on-site warranty and ASUS Platinum Protection, which covers accidental damage such as drops, liquid spills, and other acts of nature.
Versatile Features
The ASUS Chromebook Flip CR1 has a 360-degree hinge that allows it to be used in different modes: laptop, tablet, tent, or stand. It also has a garaged stylus that can be used for taking notes, sketching, or jotting down ideas. The stylus charges automatically when stored on the laptop. The ASUS Chromebook Flip CR1 also has an 8MP world-facing camera above the keyboard that can be used to capture photos and videos in tablet mode.
Both Chromebooks have a long-lasting battery life of up to 12 hours with fast charging support. They also have anti-glare displays that reduce reflections and are certified by TÜV Rheinland for low blue-light emissions, which can help protect students’ eyes from damage.
Easy to Use
The ASUS Chromebook CR1 and Flip CR1 run on Chrome OS, which provides access to Google Workspace for Education and Google Play. Students can use productivity apps such as Gmail, Docs, Drive, Calendar, Meet, and more to collaborate and stay in sync with their favorite apps.
They can also access school-related files from anywhere with an internet connection. School IT staff can remotely manage policies and settings using the Google Admin console.
These Chromebooks also have built-in virus protection and automatic updates that keep them safe, secure, and up-to-date. They are also protected by a personal Google account that keeps private documents, emails, photos, and confidential data safe at all times.
They are also designed for easy servicing and reduced downtime. They have a modular construction that allows key components such as the keyboard, touchpad, and panel to be replaced in minutes using simple tools. The underside is securely attached using captive screws that prevent them from being lost during repairs.
Antibacterial protection
To ensure hygiene and safety for users, the ASUS Chromebook CR1 and Flip CR1 have the ASUS Antibacterial Guard applied to the keyboard area. This has been scientifically shown to prevent the growth of bacteria by over 99% over a 24-hour period, keeping the laptop surfaces clean and sanitary.
