ASUS has launched its latest education-focused laptops, the BR and CR series. Designed for students of all ages, these devices combine upgraded performance, rugged durability and innovative features. With new Intel® processors, AI-powered features like Microsoft Copilot and thoughtful, student-centred designs, they are set to upgrade digital learning.
Durability meets innovation: ASUS BR series
ASUS BR series is powered by the new Intel® Processor N150 and N250, these laptops are built to withstand active classroom environments with MIL-STD-810H military-grade durability, rugged rubber bumpers and spill-resistant keyboards. MIL-STD-810H testing is conducted on selected ASUS products only, is of “military-grade”, but does not indicate a particular fitness for military use. The keyboard of ASUS BR1204 series is spill-resistant, not waterproof. The standard ASUS limited warranty does not cover problems resulting from accidents such as water damage such as submerging the laptop in water, but the spill-resistance is up to 450ml of liquid, and the instruction manuals and other documents provide handy guidance on how to deal with minor accidents.
With Microsoft Copilot integration, the BR series provides AI-powered tools to streamline administrative tasks for educators while offering real-time support for student assignments and teamwork. BR-series convertible models (BR1204FTA and BR1104FTA) feature 360° hinges and optional stylus support, allowing seamless transitions between laptop and tablet modes, ideal for creative projects and collaboration.
Versatility and adaptability: ASUS CR series
ASUS CR series offers adaptable solutions for students of all ages. Powered by the Intel® Processor N250, these Chromebooks are available in 180° lay-flat and 360° convertible models.
The upgraded 1080p FHD front-facing webcam, and a 13MP world-facing camera supported on convertible models, make these models ideal for creative projects like capturing scientific observations during fieldwork or producing digital media assignments.
TÜV-certified low blue-light displays, offering reduced display flicker, ensure comfortable viewing for study sessions, while the optional garaged stylus enhances productivity in STEAM activities such as sketching and note-taking.
With optional Chrome Education Upgrade, schools benefit from streamlined IT management with multi-layered security, automatic updates and simplified deployment, enabling educators to focus on teaching rather than logistics.
Durability and hygiene for modern classrooms
Both ASUS BR and CR Series are designed to withstand the demands of school life, ensuring long-lasting performance in active learning environments. Each laptop undergoes rigorous testing to meet MIL-STD-810H military standards, including 10 consecutive drops from 130cm onto six sides and four edges, simulating real-world accidents. The devices also endure over 10,000 hinge cycles, guaranteeing reliable performance even with frequent use by active students.
Corning® Gorilla® Glass is available on touchscreen models for both CR and BR series, offering additional scratch resistance and enhanced durability. The spill-resistant keyboards are engineered to handle up to 405cc of liquid, reducing downtime caused by accidental spills.
Additionally, ASUS Antimicrobial Guard technology, an optional feature, protects high-touch surfaces by inhibiting the growth of harmful bacteria by over 99%, maintaining cleanliness and hygiene throughout the day. This feature ensures a safer, healthier learning environment, making these laptops ideal for modern educational settings.
ASUS CR series offers up to 18 hours of battery life, however actual battery life depends on usage, specifications, applications and environment, among other factors. Longer battery life enables students to work through an entire school day without needing a recharge, even during extracurricular activities or field trips. Students can stream educational videos, run interactive applications and complete collaborative projects without interruptions.
To further support modern learning environments, both BR and CR series provide comprehensive I/O options, including USB-C® and HDMI® ports. These features ensure effortless connectivity with projectors, displays, and other peripherals.
Streamlined IT management and sustainability
ASUS BR and CR Series are thoughtfully designed with modular components, making servicing simple, efficient, and cost-effective for schools. Key parts such as the battery, keyboard and storage are easily replaceable in a few minutes. The use of anti-drop captive screws ensures that small parts remain securely in place during repairs, preventing misplacement and further simplifying maintenance.
The laptops’ modular design not only reduces downtime but also minimises the need for specialised technicians, enabling IT administrators — or even educators in resource-constrained schools — to quickly perform basic repairs and upgrades. For instance, replacing a keyboard damaged by a liquid spill or upgrading storage to accommodate new applications can be accomplished without disrupting the learning environment.
The ASUS commitment to sustainability is reflected in the laptops’ energy-efficient designs, which lower power consumption while maintaining robust performance. By extending the devices’ lifespan and reducing the frequency of replacements, these laptops deliver long-term value for schools while supporting environmental goals.
