SovietRussia Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Hi, Was looking at chromebook models quite fancied one for myself. Which model is everyone going after for schools etc?
fiza Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 We got some Samsung ones. We got some Dell ones. Everyone prefers the Dells.
mjk Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 We liked this one for schools: Rugged Construction A rubber bumper around the top cover absorbs the force of side bumps. The corners are 50 percent stronger, to reduce damage when dropped at an angle. The bezel is thicker, to protect the LCD panel, and a stronger rear cover reduces accidental LCD damage. The hinges and brackets have been strengthened, to last 50,000 cycles and to withstand more force to the cover. Reinforced ports and a reduced gap between anchored keys help prevent accidental damage from a bored child's exploring fingers. This is one tough machine. Multimode Versatility Easily change between four modes – Laptop, Stand, Tablet, and Tent – for whatever you choose to do. This device’s unique design and touchscreen display allow the screen to flip 360 degrees, so you can select the mode that best matches your needs at the time. Dragontrail® Glass Multitouch Display Scratch- and crack-resistant, Dragontrail glass is far tougher than typical soda-lime glass. Six times stronger than conventional glass, a 1.1-millimeter sample can withstand 60 kg (132 lbs) of weight! But it’s still sensitive enough to read your multitouch commands with greater precision and faster response times. MIL-SPEC Tested Military-specification testing validates the ruggedness, durability, and quality of ThinkPad products by testing against eight parameters: high pressure, humidity, vibration, high temperature, temperature shock, low pressure (15,000 ft), low temperature, and dust. Fast Data Transfer Move data between the 11e and other devices quickly with USB 3.0 — it's up to 10 times faster than previous USB technologies and backward-compatible with USB 2.0. Integrated HD Webcam The low-light-sensitive, 720p HD webcam with face-tracking, plus dual digital-array microphones, will help you enjoy web conferences or online video chats like you're really there. Powered USB Port Enjoy the benefits of an always-on port, charging your USB devices without having to turn on your laptop. HDMI Output For easy connection to a television or other display.

siuko Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 We tried quite a few chromebooks - the acer ones, samsung and dell. The fastest nicest ones by a long shot where the Dell 4Gb models. We have 240 of them at the moment and they do seem to be used. Just make sure if you are getting quite a few to also cost in the price for the google management console license if you need to manage them. (it is very handy!)
robjduk Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Seem to side with the Acer C720 model but want to get my hands on a dell. The HP's are quite nice but their chargers are a bit of a nightmare.
