Portland, Oregon’s CTL™ Corporation announced the introduction of its new 2go™Convertible Classmate PC 10.1” netbook model NL2 today from the Intel® CMPC launch event at the Central Park Zoo. The 2go™ NL2 is a ruggedized netbook featuring the Intel® Atom™ processor and a 10.1” touchscreen that rotates to convert the unit from traditional clamshell format to slate tablet format.
“The NL2 represents an evolution to our wildly popular 2go Convertible Classmate PCNL1, which has an 8.9” rotating touchscreen” said John Tucker, 2go ProductManager at CTL. “The 10.1” NL2, with its larger, higher resolution screen and keyboard that’s nearly the size of that on a traditional laptop really expands usage scenarios from the classroom and specialty ultra-mobile scenarios to usage by anyone who can benefit from a reasonably priced ruggedized Windows based netbook, touchscreen tablet, or eBook reader”.
The 2go Convertible Classmate PC NL2 is has a water resistant keyboard and screen and is designed to withstand drop test from desk height. It has shock mounted 160GB Hard Drive,a protective slate gray rubberized surface, rounded re-enforced corners and a retractable carrying handle. Additionally, the NL2 features an antimicrobial coating on its keyboard and a webcam that rotates 235 degrees to capture images either facing towards or away from the user. The 6 cell battery version of the NL2 has up to 8.5 hours of battery life.
