Ruggedised 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 minimised 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 harbour 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-recognised 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.

Easy to Service and Manage

Easy maintenance and service: A smart investment in education

For easy on-site servicing and reduced downtime, ASUS Chromebook CR1 has a modular design that allows key components such as the keyboard, touchpad and panel to be replaced in minutes using simple tools. As well, the underside is securely attached using captive screws, eliminating worries about losing these little parts during repairs. CR1 also features zero-touch enrollment: the device automatically registers in an IT network as soon as the student or teacher connects to the internet.

Then, there’s the easy maintenance: CR1’s design makes for straightforward serviceability, so it’s a smart investment for schools seeking to reduce total cost of ownership, simplify operations and enable robust student productivity.
