CTL Educational Chromebook (NL6)

With the new CTL Educational Chromebook (NL6), the small Chrome-based laptop gets a classroom-friendly makeover, with features that open up new educational activities, a design that should take the worst a child can dish out, and a price that's cheaper than some textbooks.

The chassis is made from tough, molded plastic to survive being stuffed in backpacks and manhandled by elementary schoolers.

Above the display is a 1-megapixel webcam, but unlike the usual fixed-position cameras seen on other Chromebooks, this one rotates from front to back.

The chiclet keyboard has a matte finish, and "anti-peel keys," meaning the lettering stickers won't come off when they begin to wear. It's also splash-resistant, for a bit of extra kid-proofing.

A rubber bumper wraps around the outside of the chassis, to protect it against drops and bumps. Also seen here is a USB 2.0 port and security lock slot.

On the left of the system you'll find an HDMI port, a USB 3.0 port, and an SD card reader.
