"The rotatable camera supports scientific inquiry activities along with giving students flexibility in how they capture im- ages and video. A student can rotate the camera away to re- cord a science experiment or capture video of other students doing a skit or presenting a report. A student can rotate the camera up to closely examine a leaf. The integrated micro- phone also rotates with the camera to better capture sound.
The optional snap-on lens attaches to the rotatable camera to provide 30x magnification—enough to clearly see the color of a fruit fly’s eye or the crystal structure on raw sugar."
one school system sid:
We purchased 900 and felt they were sturdier than our previous Samsung, Acer, and Dell Chromebooks. We worked with Tim Anderson (tanderson@ctlcorp.com). They have been enrolled and deployed. We have found the 4GB of RAM (standard) and 4 cores ran faster overall with multiple tabs and processes going. The processor is a newer Intel Chip than the Dells we purchased earlier in the year.
In addition, the customer service is EXCELLENT. I have called both for tech support and sales. I speak to a live person each time. Their return process is easy - fill out an online form, get return ship label via email, replacement in the mail with a box, ship back.
The only downside is there seems to be a lack of accessories like snap on cases. Though, the computer's case is so rugged, don't think we will have many issues. -
