sincity Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 http://cdn.mos.techradar.com/art/laptops/Chromebook/Lonovo_ThinkPad_Yoga_11e_Chroembook-470-75.jpgLenovo did Google a pretty big favour this week, by taking the Motorola division off its hands. Now the Chinese PC maker is lending support in the proliferation of the Chrome OS with a pair of new notebooks.Lenovo has announced theThinkPad 11e series Chromebooks which include a flexible Yoga-branded convertible laptop/tablet hybrid, which operates in four positions, and a traditional clamshell laptop.The new Chromebooks are aimed at the education market and come with built-in protection against youths may be prone to chucking school bags around as if their parents hadn't spent a fortune on nice things.There's rubberised bumpers, reinforced ports and stronger hinges to protect from the "hustle and bustle of the classroom," Lenovo says.Kid-proofing aside...Aside from the kid-proofing, the 11e series Chromebooks feature an 11.6-inch display, while the Yoga has a wide-angled IPS touchscreen to boot. The devices promise all-day battery life and are powered by unnamed Intel processing configurations (which probably means they're pretty low-end).There's also an LED indicator which shows "wireless connectivity, laptop power or sleep mode to help teachers ensure consistent student activity," - in other words allowing teachers to check students aren't cyber loafing. Schools can also have them custom engraved to ensure those of dubious morals don't do a runner with them. The ThinkPad 11e series goes on sale this spring, starting at $349. Better get used to Lenovo Chromebooks. There are loads coming this year...http://rss.feedsportal.com/c/669/f/415085/s/36a217fa/sc/15/mf.gifhttp://res3.feedsportal.com/social/twitter.png http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/facebook.png http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/linkedin.png http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/googleplus.png http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/email.pnghttp://da.feedsportal.com/r/186530122160/u/49/f/415085/c/669/s/36a217fa/sc/15/rc/1/rc.imghttp://da.feedsportal.com/r/186530122160/u/49/f/415085/c/669/s/36a217fa/sc/15/rc/2/rc.imghttp://da.feedsportal.com/r/186530122160/u/49/f/415085/c/669/s/36a217fa/sc/15/rc/3/rc.imghttp://da.feedsportal.com/r/186530122160/u/49/f/415085/c/669/s/36a217fa/a2.imghttp://pi.feedsportal.com/r/186530122160/u/49/f/415085/c/669/s/36a217fa/a2t.imghttp://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/techradar/software-news/~4/n4lDr-cvzPk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
