CTL's Windows laptops can also be bundled with the Intel Education Software suite, which includes software such as McAfee AntiVirus Plus/Mobile Security, Intel Education Lab Camera, SPARKvue, ArtRage, Intel Education Access Management and Intel Education Media Camera.

Key features of the CTL NL15 Windows Education Laptop include:
