When shopping for a K-12 PC, we recommend machines that pass the DCCC test: Durable, Clean, Collaborative, and Connected. HP’s Education Solutions for K-12 learning cover each letter in DCCC, whether you’re looking for Windows Laptops, Chromebooks, Desktops, or Workstations. 

 

In this blog, we’ll cover each element of DCCC and the machines built from the motherboard to the keyboard with young students and IT in mind. 

 

Not the ABC’s but DCCC

HP engineered the Education Editions specifically for schools. Built to withstand the mobile, project-based world of modern learning, these notebooks are designed to undergo MIL-STD- 810G testing and the HP Total Test Process against drops, spills, and shocks.1,2,3 They have been designed for learning with innovative tools to enhance instruction, engagement, and active educational use.

 

Durability

Education PCs designed and built tough and tested to higher standards.4 All HP Fortis devices, including the notebook, convertible and tablet, endure rigorous durability testing via HP’s Total Test Process2, and are designed to pass a 76 cm drop on concrete2 and MIL-STD 810G5 testing.

 

Clean and sanitize

Chassis, keyboard, and display can be sanitized with commonly used household wipes.6

 

Collaborative learning

Multi-modal for classroom collaboration and learning everywhere. Large 14” FHD screen17 on the HP ProBook Fortis 14” G9 and G10 allows students to comfortably split-screen without losing clarity so they can do things like watching a video lecture on one side, while taking notes on the other.

 

Connectivity

Bring your classroom with you and connect from almost anywhere. Students can connect to their apps, data, and education resources with an advanced 2x2 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6E) antenna array and optional 4G LTE module.7
