Dependable Durability and Protection
These student laptops are compliant with MIL-STD810H (military-grade) standards and come in a reinforced design with shock-absorbent bumpers, allowing the devices to withstand drops of up to 4 ft (122 cm). The latest TravelMate B series laptops come with reinforced I/O ports that have additional metallic plates well-secured to their chassis to ensure that these ports stay firmly in place throughout tough conditions.
An added layer of protection is incorporated with their spill-resistant keyboards, which also feature mechanically anchored key designs. The serviceable keyboard design prevents the sudden displacement of vital individual keys and allows users to replace the entire setup with ease.
Designed for Sustainability
The devices feature recycled materials in the sleek OceanGlass touchpads and use recycled paper in their moulded pulp packaging. Embodying the spirit of Acer’s Earthion mission, the education laptops are EPEAT-registered, while certain configurations are TCO-certified.
