GOOGLE REVEALS A NEW EDUCATIONAL CHROME BOOK


Google in a recent blog post celebrating the popularity of Chromebooks in Swedish schools, has announced a new Chrome OS laptop from HP: the Chromebook x360 11 G1 Education Edition. Thevpost did not specify the specs of the latest chromebook, but according to google, the device will be out for sale on the shelves in mid-April.
 It’s a “rugged” convertible, with a front-facing camera designed to be used in tablet mode, USB-C charging, and an optional stylus — all features “designed for the specific needs of schools,” says Google.
From this brief picture, it seems the G11 will follow in the footsteps of a pair of Chrome OS laptops from Acer and Asus that was announced earlier this year. They too were designed for use in the classroom, and share many of the same features of the new HP unit, including a rugged, easy-to-fix design that helps IT departments make repairs.
These laptops may all seem pretty nondescript, but Google’s strategy in this sector is paying off. By some estimates, Chrome OS now accounts for a great percentage of the Educational Market outperforming both iPads and Windows devices thanks to a combination of low prices and ease-of-use. Another Chromebook from HP should only add to this appeal and easy student life.
