Lenovo has announced a brand-new selection of Windows laptops that have been created specifically for the education market. The new lineup includes entry-level laptops along with higher-end models that have full HD touchscreen displays, pen holders, and 360-degree hinges.
The new Lenovo laptops have been created keeping in mind the needs of young students. In light of that, they have been designed to be spill-proof, and highly durable. The laptops have an MIL-STD-810H-tested design. Some of the models have rubber bumpers on the keyboards along with tamper-resistant keys. As a result, they should be able to withstand a fair bit of wear and tear.
The following are the specifications of the new laptops that have been released for students:
