Ruggedized Design

Ultimate rugged design

ASUS Chromebook CR1 is engineered to withstand everyday knocks, bumps, drops and spills without damage. So, whether it’s dropped from a classroom desk or the dining-room table, ASUS Chromebook CR1 is built to keep on going.

All-round protection

All four exterior edges and corners are protected by a tough rubber bumper, which reduces the impact of physical shocks to ensure critical components are always safe and sound.

Shrugs off scratches

The tough, micro-dimpled finish doesn’t show scratches or fingerprints!

Splash protection

The spill-resistant keyboard can cope with liquid spills of up to 330 cc³, so minor splashes are no problem.

Tamper-resistant

The gap between the edges of the keycaps and the keyboard surround is minimized to prevent the keys from being pried out.

Safe to hold

A rubber bar on the base provides a sturdy support for ASUS Chromebook CR1 while also making it easier to grip when carrying — a thoughtful design detail that reduces the risk of fumbles or slips that lead to drops.

Military Grade

Ready for action

Classrooms can be tough, but ASUS Chromebook CR1 is tougher! Built to surpass demanding US military-grade MIL-STD-810H durability standards⁴, it’s also rigorously tested to pass stringent ASUS quality tests. It can withstand occasional drops of up to 120 cm — more than standard desk height — and the hinge and I/O ports are fully tested to endure the stresses and strains of everyday use.

ASUS Antibacterial Guard

Antibacterial protection

The surface of any laptop may harbor thousands of potentially harmful bacteria. To keep your ASUS Chromebook CR1 hygienic, the keyboard, touchpad and palm rest are all protected with ASUS Antibacterial Guard^1,5. This has been scientifically shown by the internationally-recognized ISO 22196 standard to inhibit the growth of bacteria by in excess of 99% over a 24-hour period. Antibacterial Guard is also made to withstand alcohol-based cleaning products and hypochlorous acid water⁶, empowering you to keep the surface of your laptop clean and sanitary — limiting the spread of harmful bacteria.

ASUS Antibacterial Guard treatment is registered by the US EPA and authorized under EU BPR.
4G LTE connectivity is optional. Nano SIM cards are sold separately and can only be used with the LTE SKU.
ASUS Chromebook CR1 keyboard is spill-resistant, not waterproof. Water damage is possible if the product is submerged or exposed to large amounts of liquids for long periods of time. The ASUS standard limited warranty does not cover problems resulting from accidents such as water damage. To prevent water damage resulting from large spills or other accidents, ASUS recommends turning off the notebook, then tilting the laptop to drain away the excess liquid, wiping it off and letting it dry for at least 24 hours.
The testing regime includes the requirements of both military-grade standards and ASUS quality tests, and varies depending on device. MIL-STD-810 testing is conducted on selected ASUS products only. Note that the MIL-STD-810 testing helps to ensure the quality of ASUS products but does not indicate a particular fitness for military use. The test is performed under laboratory conditions. Any damage caused by attempts to replicate these test conditions would be considered accidental, and would not be covered by the standard ASUS warranty. Additional coverage is available with ASUS Premium Care.
ASUS Antibacterial Guard is tested by an independent third-party laboratory according to the ISO 22196 standard (measurement of antibacterial activity on plastics and other non-porous surfaces), using bacterial cultures that include Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, with an antibacterial activity (R) result of R > 2. R = 2 indicates a 99% reduction in bacterial activity compared to an untreated surface.
ASUS internal tests show that ASUS Chromebook CR1 can be safely cleaned and wiped using hypochlorous acid water or alcohol from a spray bottle. Individual sprays of up to 3 cc do not affect the performance of the Antibacterial treatment.
ASUS Chromebook CR1 offer reduced flicker, but are not flicker free.
Based on Chromium OS power Load Test. The 12-hour use on a single battery charge was determined by looping local video playback at higher than 80 nits and at the default display brightness level. Battery performance is based on a mix of standby, web browsing and other use. Charging time requires the battery to be at least 5% charged, with the device inactive and using the included charger. Actual battery life depends on usage, specifications, applications and environment, among other factors.
