Google and HP have joined forces to create a new
rugged Chromebook which has been specifically designed for educational uses and
takes the form of the HP Chromebook x360 11 G1 Education Edition.
Unfortunately no specifications have been released
for the new Chromebook x360 at the current time but as you can see from the
image that includes a 360 degree hinge and comes supplied with an “optional”
stylus and a secondary “world-facing” camera on the keyboard side.
These new devices—and the dynamic ecosystem of
content and apps they support—help evolve technology usage into one that is
anchored in student content creation. For example creative apps on Chromebooks
are now available in Sweden and other European countries at a discount from
select resellers. In addition, Chromebook administrators are now able to
approve a library of Android apps and install them on select managed
Chromebooks.
As soon as more details are revealed by either HP or
Google for the HP Chromebook x360 11 G1 Education Edition which is expected to
be available during mid-April 2017 will keep you up-to-date as always.
