With the claim of ruggedness, improved battery life(upto 10 hours on a single charge, this is previously achieved on high end laptops which come with an extended battery) and a lower price point the laptop is very ideal for durability in the classroom. Couple that with the ruggedness (by this Intel has strengthened the corners for shock and vibration absorption, and a keyboard that can withstand prying fingers and improved water resistance).

The built-in camera, photo view, media player, and drawing applications resourcefully allow students to create and experience multimedia learning content.
