Transform ordinary classrooms into 21st century learning environments
Announcing the New ThinkPad X131e Chromebook
Meet the new ThinkPad X131e Chromebook: A fast booting, highly customizable laptop PC built with rugged features for the daily rigors of K-12 education. The ThinkPad X131e Chromebook simplifies software and security management for school administrators and provides students and teachers with quick access to thousands of apps, education resources and storage.
Students will be able to easily create documents, edit spreadsheets, view multimedia videos, create slide show presentations and view PDF files using Google Apps for Education, along with thousands of web apps in the Chrome Web Store.
In conjunction with Chrome's built-in protection, Chromebooks allow schools' IT teams to manage security and scalability through one dashboard. This allows IT professionals to configure and manage devices all from one place, saving time, resources and money rolling out multiple computer images.
For the always budget conscious educators and school administrators, Chromebooks cost less than most high end tablets and according to the IDC, require 69 percent less labor to deploy and 92 percent less labor to support.1
The ThinkPad X131e Chromebook will be available starting February 26 via special bid volume pricing starting at $429. Interested? Contact a Lenovo Sales Rep today.
