CTL, a leading manufacturer of award-winning Chrome OS solutions, announced today at NCCE 2023 the introduction of a new "Secure" Special Edition of the CTL Chromebook PX11E. "This device's secure, semi-transparent bottom offers a unique and modern design that sets it apart from traditional Chromebooks. It allows users to see the inner workings of the device, which can be a valuable teaching tool and a great conversation starter," noted Erik Stromquist, CTL's CEO. "It also makes it easier to look inside the device to find problems, like loose connections or damage from liquid, so that it can be fixed. The design is invaluable for organizations with security concerns related to on-premise mobile devices."

The PX11E is equipped with an Intel Jasper Lake N4500 CPU, delivering up to 35% improved app performance and 78% better graphics than its predecessors. The device boasts a higher burst frequency and features a Google 'Everything Button,' screen capture button, an HD camera and microphone, multiple USB ports with PD and DP functions, and Bluetooth 5.2 capabilities—opening endless possibilities!




This Chromebook has passed MIL-STD 810H testing for superior longevity, performance, and value, ensuring reliability and durability. The PX11E also has many years of Google support, with a June 2030 AUE.

What are the features that make this Chromebook an excellent value?

We use these for at home learning. The chromebooks themselves are alright, but the support from CTL is beyond abysmal. Doing any warranty work with them requires you to email one guy, and whether or not hell get back to you, send the appropriate shipping labels, or even tell you if you have a warranty is tied to a rigged RNG machine.

So it is "secure" because you can look into it?
I want to know what security concerned corporation is buying cheap Chinese made chromebooks from a no name brand.
