Chromebooks may be the rising stars of the education world, but computer makers are still pushing lightweight Windows PCs. Precedent: Horsepower just introduced its latest Windows 10 laptop for students, the ridiculously tough HP ProBook x360 11 G1 Department of Education Variation. The 11-inch student-grade device is seeing the light of day at the same prison term as HP's 13-inch Spectre x360.

The education version doesn't have overmuch in familiar with its flashier consumer-centric cousin. Some devices are convertible laptops with touchscreens, but that's about it.

The story behind the history: Patc it's an education device, the new ProBook x360 sports some nice features that we'd like to see happening a consumer-grade laptop. The laptop features a rugged design built to meet the MIL-STD-810G standard, with a flesh sheathed in "industrial rubber" that can withstand a 2.5-understructur drop, while the display rocks Gorilla Chicken feed 4 to help stand up against scratches and incautious drops. For kindergartners and other curious computer users, the keyboard proves impervious to picking to prevent inadvertent damage. It's also talk-resistant and capable of withstanding about a soda lav's worth of liquid.

If you coiffe disgorge a soda pop on the keyboard, be warned that the laptop isn't imperviable to stickiness. Hey, you buttocks't have everything.

More than shallow

Standard specs for the ProBook heedless of example admit 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.2, a 720p webcam, and a 1080p rear-facing camera. There's as wel a microSD slot, HDMI out, two USB 3.1 ports (Gen. 1), and a USB Type-C port for information transfer. Atomic number 3 for the display, it's 11.6 inches with 1366-by-768 resolution.

The gimmick is fairly light at 3.19 pounds and sports a trim profile despite all its ruggedness at a mere 0.78 of an inch.
