CTL’s Chromebook PX121E targets educational institutions with a rugged 12.2-inch design, Intel N150 processor, and ChromeOS updates through 2035. It offers Wi-Fi 6E, multiple ports, and spill-resistant features, with extended warranty options and zero-touch enrollment for streamlined school deployment.

CTL has introduced the Chromebook PX121E, a Chromebook for educational institutions. The laptop is powered by the 3.6 Ghz Intel N150 4C/4T processor and features a 12.2-inch LCD screen that can open 180-degrees, multiple ports, and Google ChromeOS updates until 2035.

The device comes with a 16:10 ratio LCD display with a resolution of 1,280 x 800. CTL offers the PX121E in a single configuration with 8 GB LP-DDR5 RAM and 64 GB of eMMC storage. The unit has two USB-C ports, one USB-A port, a microSD card slot, and a security lock slot.

The system includes Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 for wireless connectivity to networks and headphones. A 720p webcam with a physical shutter and dual 2-watt speakers are included for remote lessons.

The laptop is MIL-STD-810H tested for durability, including surviving drops from 30 in. (75 cm). Individual keys of the spill-proof keyboard can also be replaced when damaged. The Chromebook PX121E comes with a 45-watt battery and weighs 2.65 lbs. (1.2 kg).

For educational institutions, CTL offers comprehensive warranty plans that cover repairs and dead batteries for up to four years, with a 5-day service turnaround guarantee and zero deductibles. Free zero-touch enrollment (ZTE) is also provided on all PX121E Chromebooks. The laptop will be released in the third quarter of 2025, and interested schools can request a quote today.

Readers who are looking for an inexpensive Chromebook for use at home might consider this one on Amazon. Chromebooks do not run Windows 11 or standard PC apps, unlike standard PC laptops like this one on Amazon.
