CTL Debuts J5X Convertible Touch Chromebook for Education
CTL has introduced a new convertible, touch-capable laptop designed to withstand the rigors of student-use in K–12 classrooms, the company announced Friday at the Future of Education Technology Conference (FETC) in Orlando, FL.
The new CTL J5X Chromebook features a 11.6-inch HD (1,366 pi x 786 pi) display with a “flip” 10-point touch panel. The J5X has an “extra rugged” design that can withstand a drop from up to 2.3 feet, as well as a water-resistant keyboard. Its pressure-resistant cover can withstand more than 300 pounds of pressure from the top and doubles as a whiteboard. Its reinforced ports, hinges, power plug and screen frame all help absorb the shock of bumps and drops.
Other key product features include:
- Intel N3060 (2.48GHz with 2M Cache) Braswell processor;
- 4GB LPDDR3 RAM 32 GB eMMC hard drive;
- Chrome OS;
