CTL Adds Two Rugged Touchscreen Chromebooks to its Growing Education Chromebook LineupBEAVERTON, Ore., Aug. 29, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- CTL has announced two new touchscreen Chromebooks, the NL61T and NL61TX, which feature a 10-point capacitive touch screen for the many touch-enabled Chrome™ and Android™ (Android is a trademark of Google, Inc.) applications. At Google I/O this year, Google announced that Android App support will be coming to Chrome OS. CTL's release of these new touchscreen Chromebooks follows the recent launch the CTL NL61 Chromebook, one of CTL's most popular education Chromebooks. The CTL NL61T and NL61TX Chromebooks both feature an upgraded processor, the powerful Intel Braswell Quad Core N3160 (2.24 GHz 2MB Cache). With improved processing power, the NL61T and NL61TX boast up to 14 hours battery life. The new CTL NL61T and NL61TX are rugged Chromebooks and will meet the need for touchscreen Chromebooks utilized in standardized testing such as Smarter Balanced. CTL's touchscreen Chromebooks will enable users to make the most of Chrome OS, which is expected to enable apps from the Google Play Store later this year, bringing some 2 million Android apps to Chrome users worldwide. "CTL has expanded our line of rugged Chromebooks as more schools are recognizing the benefits of Chrome OS including security, manageability and ease-of-use," said CTL President, Erik Stromquist. "Our new Chromebooks will help students to access education-focused Android apps designed for touchscreen." CTL NL61T Chromebook (Touchscreen) The NL61T has all the same features as he CTL NL61, but with a touchscreen. With education-specific features such as a carry handle, rotating camera and rugged design, the NL61T also includes 4GB DDRL 1600 RAM (20% faster than DDR1333). At just 2.76 lbs, the NL61T is easy for students to transport and has a budget-friendly starting price of $269 for qualified education customers (quantity discounts available).

CTL NL61TX Chromebook (Extra Rugged Touchscreen) With the same great specs as the CTL NL61T, the CTL NL61TX is an extra rugged Chromebook that has been fortified with a pressure-resistant cover that also doubles as a whiteboard!
