Featuring the latest Intel Pentium Silver and Celeron processors, the TravelMate B3 and TravelMate Spin B3 are dependable laptops that were built to support the needs of K-12 schoolchildren. The laptops are MIL-STD 810H certified and feature shock-absorbent bumpers, making them tough enough to withstand up to 60 kg (132.28 lbs) of downward force and drop from up to 4 ft (1.22 m). A unique drainage design helps to protect internal components from moderate spills. A mechanically-anchored key design provides a double benefit, allowing the entire keyboard to be easily replaced by administrators, even though the individual keys themselves are well-secured so that they won’t be dislodged by restless fingers.
For use in less than ideal conditions, the Acer TravelMate Spin B3 also comes equipped with Acer Antimicrobial Design. This means that it features not only an Antimicrobial Corning Gorilla Glass touchscreen but also an antimicrobial (silver-ion) coating on commonly-used high-touch surfaces, including the keyboard, touchpad, and palm-rest surface.
Aside from durability, the laptops also have a host of desirable features for students, like the integration of Intel Wi-Fi 6 (Gig+) with 2x2 MU-MIMO technology, as well as optional 4G LTE for better connectivity. Users can further opt to include a dockable Wacom AES pen and 5 MP HDR world-facing camera, allowing schools to customize their laptops in order to suit their students’ specific needs.
This whole package is a great option for students, who can now benefit from the integration of Windows 11 SE. This new, cloud-first Windows edition built for inclusive and accessible learning offers the performance and reliability of Windows 11 in addition to a simplified design and modern management tools that have been optimized for low-cost devices in educational settings.
Featuring an easy-to-use interface plus an education-first menu of curated apps, Windows 11 SE comes on affordable devices that are pre-configured for student privacy and remote management. The company has even cleaned up the interface to help students focus on learning while avoiding any unnecessary distractions.
