Description

• The cameras work in two directions, just like collaboration

  Two HD cameras improve collaboration and videoconferencing. The 720p front-facing camera is great for capturing creative projects from anywhere, while the 5MP world-facing camera makes it easier to record and take pictures in the correct orientation from all four modes. The unique design has the world-facing camera on the keyboard side of the 500e Chromebook, so it can take photos while being held like a tablet.

• A display this important needs extra protection

  The 11.6-in HD multi-touch display is tougher than ever, thanks to Corning Gorilla Glass 3 with Native Damage Resistance. This technology uses an alkali-aluminosilicate thin sheet glass, which is better able to survive the real-world events that commonly cause glass failure. It resists damage and helps prevent the deep chips and scratches that cause glass to break.

• Adapts to individual learning styles

  The 500e Chromebook features a 360-degree hinge, allowing students to position the display the way they need it for any usage mode - Laptop, Tablet, Tent, or Stand. This enables them to make the optimal use of its multi-touch technology to interact with educational apps and tools. Research a topic in Laptop mode. Open it the full 360 degrees to take a test in Tablet mode. Set it to Tent mode when giving presentations, or Stand mode for watching videos. It's as flexible as a student's imagination.

• Classroom-tough

  Teachers who say the classroom feels like a battleground, take heart - this classroom tool has military-grade durability. Built tough with rubber bumpers, reinforced ports, and a 360-degree hinge that won't snap under pressure, the 500e Chromebook is compliant with MIL-STD-810G testing for all manner of shock and awe. It's also drop-resistant up to 29.5 inches (75 cm) - roughly the height of a school desk.

• Fingers, do your worst

  The full-sized keyboard features a sealed touchpad and resists spills. And its mechanically anchored keys stay put and cannot be pulled off - no excuses for not doing the assignment!

• No charger - no worries

  With long hours of battery life, the 500e Chromebook lasts an entire school day and more. Students can work a full day, bring it home, plug it in, and let it recharge overnight for the next day's classes.

• Connectivity for productivity

  Whether you need to connect to the Internet or a peripheral device, the 500e Chromebook will make it happen. It's equipped with two USB-C ports, for powerful and fast connectivity to peripherals. USB-C connectors are smaller and reversible, making for quick connections without first having to check a connector's orientation. They also can charge your Chromebook or your peripherals, providing power in addition to connectivity. The 500e Chromebook also has two USB 3.0 ports, 2 x 2 AC Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and a microSD card reader, so it can connect to just about anything a student needs.
