Ultimate Rugged Design
ASUS Chromebook CR1 is engineered to withstand everyday knocks, bumps, drops and spills without damage. So, whether it’s dropped from a classroom desk or the dining-room table, ASUS Chromebook CR1 is built to keep on going.
All Around Protection
All four exterior edges and corners are protected by a tough rubber bumper, which reduces the impact of physical shocks to ensure critical components are always safe and sound.
Shrugs Off Scratches
The tough, micro-dimpled finish doesn’t show scratches or fingerprints!
Splash Protection
The spill-resistant keyboard can cope with liquid spills of up to 330 cc3, so minor splashes are no problem.
Tamper-resistant
The gap between the edges of the keycaps and the keyboard surround is minimized to prevent the keys from being pried out.
Safe To Hold
A rubber bar on the base provides a sturdy support for ASUS Chromebook CR1 while also making it easier to grip when carrying — a thoughtful design detail that reduces the risk of fumbles or slips that lead to drops.
Ready For Action
Classrooms can be tough, but ASUS Chromebook CR1 is tougher! Built to surpass demanding US military-grade MIL-STD-810H durability standards4, it’s also rigorously tested to pass stringent ASUS quality tests. It can withstand occasional drops of up to 120 cm — more than standard desk height — and the hinge and I/O ports are fully tested to endure the stresses and strains of everyday use.
Anti-Bacterial Protection
The surface of any laptop may harbor thousands of potentially harmful bacteria. To keep your ASUS Chromebook CR1 hygienic, the keyboard, touchpad and palm rest are all protected with ASUS Antibacterial Guard1,5. This has been scientifically shown by the internationally-recognized ISO 22196 standard to inhibit the growth of bacteria by in excess of 99% over a 24-hour period. Antibacterial Guard is also made to withstand alcohol-based cleaning products and hypochlorous acid water6, empowering you to keep the surface of your laptop clean and sanitary — limiting the spread of harmful bacteria.
Easy Maintenance And Service
For easy on-site servicing and reduced downtime, ASUS Chromebook CR1 has a modular design that allows key components such as the keyboard, touchpad and panel to be replaced in minutes using simple tools. As well, the underside is securely attached using captive screws, eliminating worries about losing these little parts during repairs. CR1 also features zero-touch enrollment: the device automatically registers in an IT network as soon as the student or teacher connects to the internet.
Then, there’s the easy maintenance: CR1’s design makes for straightforward serviceability, so it’s a smart investment for schools seeking to reduce total cost of ownership, simplify operations and enable robust student productivity.
180 Degree Lay-flat Hinge
Group discussion and sharing are easy thanks to ASUS Chromebook CR1 robust hinges, which enable a fully-flat, 180-degree position.
Anti-glare and eye-catching Technology
ASUS Chromebook CR1 has an 11.6-inch anti-glare display that reduces reflections to provide comfortable viewing for extended learning experiences — even under sunlight. The screen is also certified by TÜV Rheinland7 for low blue-light emissions, helping protect eyes from potential harm.
All Day Learning
With up to 12 hours of battery life on a single charge, ASUS Chromebook CR1 will last for a full day of classes and more — empowering students to enjoy uninterrupted learning and, later, entertainment.
Extensive Connectivity
Full connectivity is vital when you want to get things done efficiently. That’s why ASUS Chromebook CR1 has two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C® (USB-C®) port — with support for high-speed data transfers and USB Power Delivery — along with two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A, a microSD card reader , an audio combo jack and a Kensington lock slot.
