How connectivity sets a great notebook computer apart for students

Connected technology opens up incredible possibilities when it comes to learning. With a powerful computer and fast WiFi, students of all ages can tap the internet for its full potential. However, keeping track of their devices can be a hassle — carting around their WiFi-enabled PC and a mobile hotspot means carrying two devices, charging two devices, and making sure they don’t damage or lose two devices by the end of the school year.

Kids have enough on their plates, and that’s why the new notebooks from the HP Fortis range exist. HP Fortis notebooks help to make educational pursuits attainable for all students, including the 1 in 3 K-12 students who struggle with adequate access to the internet to complete their homework.

Constant Connectivity Takes the Classroom Anywhere

From spotty signals interrupting crucial lectures to the inability to submit assignments on time, a poor internet connection is a disturbance and source of worry for students trying to keep up with homework. A strong and reliable internet connection is essential for students in today’s classrooms — and that means they need a powerful and trustworthy computer, too.

HP’s partner, Verizon, makes it possible for students to connect to the classes and assignment portals on its Verizon 4G LTE network, covering more than 2.6 million square miles of the US. Instead of depending on insecure or volatile wi-fi connections, its reliable and encrypted 4G network reassures students that they won’t fall victim to poor connection.

Laptops Built for Modern Learning

Whether a student inhabits rural regions or a bustling cosmopolis, the acceleration of digital connectivity allows them to think outside of the classroom and learn from anywhere, virtually. HP made its new Fortis line with today’s students in mind. That means durability, enhanced connectivity, and larger screens, all of which combine to make an ideal device for students’ needs.

Blended learning means devices spend a lot of time in backpacks and bags — and that means more opportunities for damage, from accidental drops onto the pavement, to spilling beverages onto a device, and everything in between. A durable computer that fits the versatile and ever-changing lifestyle of a student is the common-sense solution for students juggling work done at school and at home. HP’s ProBook Fortis 14” G9 is a strong suit for the student on-the-go. It’s the world’s first rugged Windows laptop for education, making it ideal for students of all ages who might accidentally damage their devices without the extra layer of physical protection.

Further, with the Fortis’s Verizon-powered connectivity, students will be able to easily connect to the modern classroom’s digital tools, whether streaming videos, chatting in online learning environments, or handling connected software. 14-inch screens mean kids can take notes while they follow along on video or streaming lessons. 

Students Can Create and Innovate with Flair

Equipping students with the latest technology is an exciting way to let creativity unravel. On the HP Pro x360 Fortis 11” G9 and HP Pro x360 Fortis 11” G10 devices, students using the optional rechargeable pen can capture notes in laptops, stand, tablets, tent, or book mode whenever inspiration strikes. With the cloud-native HP Fortis Chromebooks, students can automatically save, share and collaborate in real-time with classmates, ensuring that they’re not left behind any of the latest homework updates. With the versatile modes of use these devices offer, students are studying in style too.
