Knowing that a PC’s best ability is its availability, organizations of all kinds focus on serviceability and durability as they purchase new hardware. Yet for educational institutions, these concerns take on additional importance. Needing to maximize longevity, value, and environmental responsibility, decision makers at schools and colleges look for technological solutions that deliver operational efficiency as much as effortless performance. To meet the needs of these educations, we’ve pioneered fresh designs that meet the unique challenges of today’s classroom environments. Across our latest lineup of education-focused laptops and mini-PCs, you’ll find solutions that drill down on resilience, easy maintenance and service, and sustainable practices.
Built for the rough-and-tumble world of education
The physical robustness of a device is a non-negotiable requirement in schools. ASUS BR series and ASUS Chromebook CR series laptops, including the new ASUS BR1204F and ASUS Chromebook CR1204F, can withstand the rigorous demands of a K-12 classroom environment thanks to their resilient design. Smartly crafted to withstand accidental drops, these ruggedized laptops undergo rigorous testing, meeting US military-grade standards and exacting in-house ASUS assessments to ensure unwavering durability, making them the perfect choice for modern education.
But we don’t stop at lab certifications. The devices are enveloped in rugged rubber bumpers that help absorb everyday knocks and accidental falls, a common occurrence in bustling classrooms filled with active students. The spill-resistant keyboard helps make sure that a tipped-over water bottle doesn’t take the laptop out of commission.
Hinges are tested for thousands of cycles to endure constant opening and closing, and the 360° hinges on convertible models allow seamless switching between laptop and tablet modes, better supporting varied learning styles and interactive activities. The addition of optional stylus support provides further creative flexibility while maintaining the device’s structural integrity.
Such durability helps prevent breakage, and it helps ensure continuity in learning, too. When technology works reliably day after day, educators can focus on teaching rather than troubleshooting, and students can engage fully without interruptions.
Designed for swift support and minimal downtime
Devices exposed daily to hundreds of students are bound to face wear and tear. Teaching students best practices with PC hardware can help, but in the end your institution needs solutions that offer simplified maintenance and repairs.
The latest ASUS Chromebook CX15 showcases some of our latest efforts on this front. For quick access to components, IT staff will only need to remove four screws to remove the redesigned bottom cover. As captive screws, these screws will stay in place, helping to make sure that maintenance or upgrades aren’t slowed down buy a lost screw. The device also uses a screwless battery-latching system, using a bracket to secure the battery and eliminating the need for screws, allowing for tool-free maintenance and preventing battery compromise.
You’ll find the same user-centric approach with our mini-PC lineup. The latest ASUS NUC 15 Pro, for example, is built from the ground up to enable fast and seamless integration. A tool-free mechanism opens the bottom of the chassis, providing quick access to RAM or storage. Additional internal headers and expansion accessories let users customize their mini PC for every need.
These aspects are not only convenient for school tech teams but also align with the realities of tight educational budgets. By facilitating rapid in-house repairs, we help schools maximize the lifespan of their investment and avoid unnecessary losses due to avoidable service delays.
A responsible design for a greener future
Sustainability occupies a central role in the latest generation of ASUS education devices. The emphasis on serviceability inherently supports sustainability. By enabling component-level repairs, we help reduce electronic waste, as fewer entire devices are scrapped for minor, fixable issues. The modular approach also means that when hardware upgrades are needed, such as increased storage or a larger battery, schools can replace only what’s necessary, further reducing unnecessary waste.
Our commitment to the environment extends further into material choices and manufacturing processes. Many components are crafted from recyclable or low-impact materials, and we set ambitious goals to reduce the carbon footprint of its products throughout their lifecycle. For packaging, we use minimal, recyclable materials to lessen environmental impact from the point of purchase.
