Majority of classrooms around the globe are now adapting their systems to make use of the latest technology available today. Through these digital tools, further improvement can be observed on how children are educated.
In this particular niche, HP is one of the biggest suppliers, especially with their Education Edition Chromebook laptops. And now, the company has announced the new 2017 HP Chromebook x360 11 G1 Education Edition, their most recent Chromebook device for schools.
Chromebook devices are currently the top-selling educational tools across different countries, according to a report from Futuresource. In fact, the Chromebook has taken over almost 38 percent of devices sold in classrooms throughout Sweden. This is reportedly a big section of the market glutted with other devices. Some of which include tablets, hybrids, and full-fledged laptops.
The report further details that over 20 million teachers and students across the world are actually using Chromebooks inside their classrooms alongside the Google's G Suite app. HP has been taking advantage on this as they continually provide updated versions of the Chromebook devices that are specifically targeting classrooms worldwide.
The looks of the new HP Chromebook x360 11 G1 Education Edition highly resembles the 2016 HP ProBook x360 11 G1 Education Edition. More likely, the new G1 Chromebook will have the same internals as well - either an Intel Celeron N3350 or Pentium N4200 processor found on the ProBook. An 8GB DDR 3 RAM is also expected alongside a 128GB solid state drive.
Moreover, the HP Chromebook x360 11 G1 Education Edition will have an 11.6-inch display with a 1366 x 768 resolution. Additionally, all of its components are fitted into an exceptionally sturdy as well as light casing. The 2017 HP Chromebook x360 11 G1 Education Edition is said to be available sometime in mid-April. Though HP has not officially announced about its price as of yet, it would most likely be around the same affordable price range as its predecessors.
