• Available CTL services add value for lifecycle management: program planning, configuration and deployment, warranties and service plans, trade-ins, and responsible recycling

BEAVERTON, Ore., June 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- CTL, a global cloud-computing solution leader for education and enterprise, announced today the introduction of the new CTL Chromebook PX121E.  The PX121E is a K-12 student's everyday computing companion, with next-gen processing and a 12.2" display that delivers up to 30% more viewing area to empower tomorrow's immersive learning experiences.

"With the rich set of Google Workspace online tools, photo and video usage, and increasingly AI-infused applications, K-12 students need larger screen sizes for better viewing of today's online curriculum. And, larger screen sizes can reduce eye strain," explained Jeremy Burnett, VP of Technology for CTL.  "The CTL Chromebook PX121E incorporates the latest Intel(R) N-Series N150 Processor and is built to go the distance with automatic updates to 2035."

About the new CTL Chromebook PX121E

The 12.2" CTL PX121E is a new screen size choice in CTL's expansive lineup of Chromebook and Chromebook Plus devices.  Available in an 8 GB RAM / 64 GB eMMC storage configuration, the new CTL Chromebook PX121E features:

• More immersive viewing. The 12.2" display provides easier viewing of rich online learning content with less eye strain.
• Future-proof performance. Faster Intel® N150 computing performance enables multi-tasking, streaming content, and easy management of the demanding EdTech apps of today and tomorrow.
• Connectivity and all-day learning. Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 deliver faster, smarter, uncongested connectivity, enabling students to enjoy long battery life.*
• Day in and day out durability. A proven 180° lay-flat hinge, MIL-STD-810H testing, and drop testing from 75 cm ensure rugged longevity.
• Generous memory capacity. 8GB of advanced DDR5 RAM is standard on this device to easily handle high-powered apps.
• Viewing clarity. Bright, crisp screens offer HD 1280 x 800 resolution in a 16:10 ratio.
• Rugged keyboards. CTL keyboards are spill-resistant and easy to repair with single-key replacement capability.

• Ample I/O.  Two charging USB-C ports on either side, one USB-A port, an audio jack, and a micro SD memory card reader provide an abundance of I/O options.

Bundle CTL Chromebook PX121E devices with the Chrome Education Upgrade license, also available from CTL.

All Chromebooks are secure by default, private by design, keep you in control, and provide trustworthy content and information. Teach and learn on Chromebooks, which have had zero reported successful ransomware attacks, and provide school communities with Google Workspace, one of the world's most secure cloud-based communication and collaboration suites. Data is not shared with other users or organizations, and customers own and control their data, not Google. Google's privacy practices are audited against international standards.
