HP announces three education focused Chromebook devices

HP announced three new Chrome OS devices that take advantage of the latest enhancements to the Google for Education ecosystem: the HP Chromebook 11 G6 Education Edition, the HP Chromebook 14 G5 and the HP Chromebox G2.

"The historic rise of Chromebook adoption in schools has driven more equitable access to technology for students, offering a simple and manageable solution for digital education transformation. In fact, Chromebooks accounted for an astonishing 58% of mobile PC device shipments to K-12 schools (not including desktops) in the United States last year and now lead school markets in Canada and Sweden^{," says Gus Schmedien, who is VP of Worldwide Education for HP.}

The sixth-generation HP Chromebook 11 G6 EE is purpose-built for the daily demands of students. With industrial co-molded rubber, reinforced corners and a unique impact dispersion pattern on the internal chassis to protect hinges, the device can withstand bumps and drops from 70 cm onto bare concrete surfaces and designed to pass MIL-STD 810g testing.

The larger the HP Chromebook 14 G5 was engineered for flexibility. First, this larger format device features full-HD resolution on a 14” diagonal display, enabling teachers and secondary students (grades 9-12) more screen space to create and collaborate. Second, the HP Chromebook 14 G5’s configurations⁴ can match the precise functionality needed by schools, whether that’s equipping principals or a mobile STEM lab.

 The HP Chromebox G2 can help tackle multimedia projects quickly with powerful Intel® 7th or 8th gen processors, up to 16 GB memory, and support for Android apps. The new Chromebox G2 is also ideal for digital signage with support for dual 4K displays via USB Type-C, keeping students, faculty and parents informed about upcoming events, assignments and other important school information.
