Asus will complete its educational laptop variant with the latest Chromebook Flip C214MA. This laptop was presented in the midst of the hectic plan to procure Chromebook laptops for schools launched by the government.
The main selling point of the Asus Chromebook Flip C214MA is its tough body. This laptop is designed with a rugged design so that it can be durable when used for years at school.
Asus Chromebook Flip C214MA already has MIL-STD-810G certification which follows military standards. This laptop is also tested with a drop test from a height of 1.2 meters.

To protect the laptop from impact, the surrounding has been protected using a rubber layer. The outer casing is also textured to make it more stable when gripped and reduce oily hand footprints.
As the name implies, the Asus Chromebook Flip C214MA is a convertible laptop with a touch screen that can be rotated up to 360 degrees. This laptop can be used in four modes, namely laptop, tablet, tent, and slate mode.
To protect the touch screen, Asus includes Corning Gorilla Glass 3. The hinges are also strengthened so that their use can be more durable, especially if the screen is often rotated. The keyboard used is also spill resistant and made tightly so that it is not easily pryed by children who are fun.
This laptop has a touch screen measuring 11.6 inches with a weight of 1.2 kg. Rifan said the size of this laptop is suitable for school children aged 12 years and over.
The Asus Chromebook Flip C214MA is also equipped with two cameras, one on the screen and one at the bottom of the keyboard. This second camera has a resolution of 8 MP and supports augmented reality (AR).
This laptop has a battery that lasts up to 11 hours. The port and connectivity support provided is quite complete, such as USB Type-C, USB Type-A, microSD, and Wi-Fi.
Rifan has not revealed the full specifications of the Asus Chromebook Flip C214MA because this laptop will only be announced on August 22. But he ensures that the specifications of this laptop can support children's productivity in teaching and learning activities.
