Ever wondered what happens when you mix kids, school, and laptops? At ASUS, we pride ourselves on creating some of the toughest laptops on the market, designed to withstand the rough and tumble environment of everyday life at schools.

The ASUS Chromebook CR12 (CR1204C) is a perfect example, featuring a rugged design, reinforced edges and corners, and undergoing rigorous durability tests by our engineers.

We’ve heard some wild tales that'll make you laugh, gasp, and maybe even shed a tear for those poor devices. But fear not! We’re here to save the day (and your sanity).

The Great ‘window’ Escape

Picture this: A student, bored, decides to see if laptops can fly. Spoiler alert: They can't. But our ASUS Chromebook? It survived the impromptu flight test with flying colours! We’ve even heard about some cheeky students turning them into high-tech frisbees during lunch break to test their durability. Talk about extreme sports!

Keyboard artistry

Ever walked into a classroom to find a laptop looking like it's been through a glitter explosion? We've heard of students going full Picasso on keyboards, rearranging keys, and even giving them a fresh coat of nail polish. But here's the good news - our ASUS Chromebook took it all in its stride. After a quick clean-up coupled with an easy-to-repair design, its functionality remains intact.

Surviving a flood

Not all mishaps are the result of teen trying to test something to destruction. Picture a house completely underwater - furniture floating, chaos everywhere. Amid this aquatic apocalypse, guess what emerged unscathed? Yes, our ASUS laptop! It powered on like nothing happened, leaving the school's IT team (but not us) scratching their heads in amazement.

Spills and thrills

We also heard many tales of people accidentally knocking over drinks onto our devices. Despite the potential for a sticky situation, the ASUS Chromebook CR12 (CR1204C), with its spill-resistant keyboard, came out unscathed time and time again. School IT staff often tell us how impressed they are that clumsiness and sugar doesn’t spoil their day.
