2024/02/15
Fremont, CA, February 15, 2024 - ASUS today launched the latest BR series ruggedized laptops for K-12 Education. Engineered to withstand the daily challenges of classroom activity and meet the highest standards of durability, these laptops champion our commitment to reliability and user-centric design – making them an ideal choice for active young learners.
Seamless hybrid learning: ASUS opens gateway to flexible education
In an era where educational needs are as diverse as the students themselves, ASUS responds with an expanded BR series — featuring the all-new BR1204, a flagship 12-inch model alongside the existing 11- and 14-inch laptops. This growth in the BR series exemplifies our dedication to providing tailored educational solutions, offering a range of display sizes to meet varying preferences and requirements to bring unparalleled versatility and mobility to hybrid-learning
Ruggedized durability for education: Ready for every classroom challenge
At ASUS, we understand that the classroom can be a dynamic environment where anything can happen. Which is why we’ve reinforced our BR series with MIL-STD-810H-certified ruggedness, prepared for every educational setting. The durable design, featuring a spill-resistant antimicrobial keyboard and, for all touchscreen models, the added resilience of Corning® Gorilla® Glass in laptops that are built to last. The BR series with their robust yet elegant glass displays, withstand not just scratches and impacts but also the curiosity and creativity of every young mind. Additional key aspects include a fingerprint-resistant finish, easy rubber grip, reinforced internal components, and for flip configurations a world-facing camera, making them a reliable educational tool.
Efficient maintenance: The practical ASUS approach to educational tech
The ASUS commitment to efficient and practical educational technology is exemplified in our easy-to-service design for the BR series. This design streamlines maintenance and enhances device longevity, which is required in educational environments. Key features include a modular design that simplifies repairs, expandable dual storage to hold more digital resources, and uniform captive screws to prevent loss. Windows Autopilot further supports IT efficiency, enabling rapid deployment and remote management. These laptops offer easier maintenance to reduce downtime and the need for specialized services, scalability to ensure they grow with the user’s needs, and efficient IT management to save valuable time and resources.
Health and security first: ASUS devices for education prioritize wellness and safety
The hygienic design of the BR series represents a significant stride in safeguarding health in educational settings. BR series laptops feature TÜV-certified displays to minimize eye strain and blue light exposure – crucial for users immersed in digital learning. Additionally, the ASUS Antimicrobial Guard treatment, which coats high-touch surfaces like keyboards, helps reduce germ transmission in commonly shared educational devices. BR series laptops also have features to fortify data security such as TPM 2.0. These features highlight the ASUS commitment to creating a safer, healthier learning environment, blending user comfort with robust data protection. This approach not only caters to the immediate needs of students and educators but also sets a new standard in responsible educational technology design.
