BEAVERTON, Ore., Aug. 7, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- CTL, a global cloud-computing solution leader
for education and enterprise, announced today the introduction of
the new CTL Chromebook PX111E Series. These 11.6" Chromebooks
equip students with the essential processing and connectivity they
need in a durable, sustainable device. Easy ChromeOS device
manageability combined with CTL's Life Cycle Services reduces the
burdens of deployment and device management for IT departments.
"We've introduced several new Chromebooks lately, and this is
our newest 11.6" entry-level device built for the rigors of daily
student use. We have tested it to MIL-STD-810H standards, added a
durable 180 lay-flat hinge, and even shoved it off desks to ensure
survivability. When combined with the power of Google for
Education, Intel N100 processing, Wi-Fi 6E, and other advanced
technologies, the PX111E Series will serve students for years to
come," said Erik Stromquist, CEO of
CTL.
