Acer has expanded the TravelMate notebook range with the TravelMate Spin B3 convertible and the classic TravelMate B3 clamshell model, both intended for primary schools.
The laptops, with 11,6-inch screens, offer optimized performance and a ruggedized design that protects them from the accidental bumps typical of school life.
TravelMate Spin B3 and TravelMate B3 are reliable devices designed to meet the needs of primary school kids. They are equipped with the latest Intel® Pentium® and Celeron® processors and give students all the power they need to work in the classroom. They also comply with the military standard MIL-STD 810G, meaning they are robust enough to survive the shocks and accidental spills of liquids that are part of students' daily life.
A pressure-resistant lid, shock-resistant rubber edges and reinforced corners contribute to the durability of the devices. These notebooks can also support students throughout the school day (up to 12 hours of battery life) without needing to recharge the battery.
TravelMate Spin B3 is a flexible device that adapts to the needs of a school day, through four modes of use: students can write reports in the clamshell mode, watch videos or take lessons in viewing mode, place it on a desk in tent and work with the touchscreen, or use tablet mode to take notes in class or draw in art hours. An optional camera allows students to capture photos and videos even in tablet mode. The TravelMate B3 Spin comes with a Wacom AES-enabled stylus to deliver a natural writing experience.
The school ecosystem is made up of more than just students, so TravelMate Spin B3 and TravelMate B3 offer a variety of features that make life easier for teachers and school IT technicians. An optional battery light allows teachers to see which student notebooks are low. The devices feature hard-to-remove docking systems and an easy-to-replace keyboard, which makes it easy for school IT technicians to repair.
The TravelMate Spin B3 convertible notebook will be available in EMEA from April, with prices starting at $ 329. The TravelMate B3 notebook will be available in EMEA from April, with prices starting at $ 239.
