PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: CTL’s Chromebook Plus: Empower Teachers and Staff, Streamline IT Management
The new CTL Chromebook Plus PX141 Series empowers teachers, staff, and advanced students to be more productive, creative, and connected.
Productivity is easy with Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, powered by 2x the processing power, 2x the memory, and up to 10 hours of battery life. Apps spark creativity, while advanced AI-powered writing, photo, and video tools foster new levels of creation and collaboration.

Users will be able to work on a device with the same multi-layered security that Chromebooks are known for, along with AI-powered protections that automatically detect and block threats.
“As the education field increasingly grows in productivity and technology, Chromebook Plus is a must-have for teachers and admin staff alike,” says Nathan Luotonen, IT Administrator, Ambrose School. “CTL’s Chromebook Plus models, paired with their exceptional service, will now allow us to meet all of our ChromeOS needs under a single pane of glass.

A Win-Win Solution
School IT admins have traditionally offered Windows and Mac machines for teacher, staff, and advanced student use who needed computing power beyond the student Chromebook. However, it’s difficult to manage all of these different devices — plus student Chromebooks – simultaneously. IT admins are required to treat each device pool separately in terms of updates, security patches, and other device management.
By issuing a Chromebook Plus device instead of Windows or Mac machines, it is a win-win for both users and IT administrators. For users, they receive the same enterprise-grade processing performance and apps of the traditional Windows and Mac devices. IT administrators greatly reduce the device management burden because they can now manage all devices on the same platform with the elegant simplicity of the Google Admin console.
“I am so happy with these laptops; they’re so solidly built. With ZTE, I was even able to distribute laptops without unboxing all of them!” says Brayden Matsko, IT Coordinator and ILTPP Ambassador, St. Michael The Archangel School. “And CTL is one of very few manufacturers that still uses barcodes instead of QR codes for serial numbers so I could easily scan the boxes. You guys truly think of everything. Sent from my brand new PX141GXT! Thanks!”
