With this year’s Chromebook 11, Dell is building on the success of last year’s model, which bears the same name, by continuing its target on the educational market. And while both generations of Chromebook share the same name, Dell has completely redesigned this year’s model to be more durable for the classroom.
Starting at just $249.99 (£164, AU$327), this year’s Chromebook 11 follows the design of the Latitude 13 released last year with a barrel hinge, rubberized edges to help shield against bumps, and a spill-proof keyboard to protect against accidental water damage. Dell claims that the Chromebook’s durable design passed 15 mil spec tests for drops, spills, vibrations, humidity, heat, and dirt, making it a perfect fit for the classroom and for science labs.
“We didn’t want the technology to get in the way of student learning,” Dell’s design team told TechRadar in an interview. “In the past, we observed teachers asking students to put away the technology like laptops during labs to avoid damaging the equipment. With the durable design, students can continue to engage, learn, and collaborate without fear of hurting the technology.”
