CTL Debuts New Rugged Chromebook for Education
CTL has introduced a new Chromebook, the CTL NL6x Extra-Rugged Chromebook for Education.
The
NL6x features a pressure-resistant cover that doubles as a whiteboard.
The company tested the sturdiness of the cover in house by having a
365-pound man stand on it, and the device survived without suffering
any damage. The cover is strengthened by "reinforced corners and the
ultra-protective cover that shields from pressure," according to a news
release from the company. It also includes reinforced ports, hinges and
power plug, non-slip texture and was tested to withstand drops up to 70
cm.
