CTL is set to make a significant splash at ISTELive 2025 with the unveiling of three groundbreaking products designed to elevate the educational technology landscape.
Get ready to experience the next generation of learning with the NL73 Gen 2 Series, an evolution of CTL’s popular 11.6″ Chromebooks, boasting new enhanced performance with Google AU now until 2035. Also debuting is the brand new PX121E, a versatile 12.2″ Chromebook that offers students an expansive display and robust performance for today’s immersive learning. Finally, CTL introduces the Chromebox OPS OPx1-3, a powerful and compact Chromebox designed for plug-and-play integration into interactive flat panels, transforming any classroom display into a ChromeOS powerhouse and simplifying IT management.
CTL’s new product lineup is poised to revolutionize classroom environments. The NL73 Gen 2 Series 11.6-inch clamshell and 2-in-1 convertible Chromebooks (above), with their enhanced performance and proven durability, will be ideal for everyday student use, from individual research to collaborative group projects. A rugged 180-degree worldview camera makes classroom collaboration and learning easy.
The new CTL Chromebook PX121E 12.2-inch clamshell (above), with its larger and more immersive display, will facilitate richer content consumption and creation, perfect for engaging multimedia lessons or design-focused tasks.
Lastly, the Chromebox OPS OPx1-3 (below) will transform interactive flat panels into dynamic learning hubs, enabling seamless integration of ChromeOS with existing classroom displays. This will empower teachers with greater control over content sharing, real-time collaboration, and simplified device management, ultimately fostering a more engaging and productive learning experience for all.
CTL Helps Schools Maximize Investments
These three new devices carry distinct advantages in the education technology market. What truly sets the CTL Chromebook NL73 Gen 2 and CTL Chromebook PX121E products apart is CTL’s singular focus: they are a vendor that specializes exclusively in ChromeOS devices with the industry’s most comprehensive set of lifecycle services. This dedicated expertise translates into meticulously optimized hardware and a deep understanding of the Chrome ecosystem, ensuring unparalleled performance, service, and ease of lifecycle management for schools and businesses. Plus, as the only Chromebook manufacturer certified as a B Corporation(TM), CTL focuses on ensuring the entire experience of school technology is as waste-free and recycling-friendly as possible.
“Everyone at Bandera ISD involved in our Chromebook initiative is very pleased with the NL73 CTL Chromebooks and support,” says David Brown of Bandera ISD. “Jason has been superb, often going the extra mile to meet our needs. ZTE has saved countless hours for my department. Warranty repair, replacement parts, and in-house repairs are a definite plus. We found a winner with CTL to meet our future Chromebook needs.”
Beyond that, CTL’s Chromebooks offer unique hardware innovations. They feature two USB-C charging ports on a mother/daughter board design so if one port gets damaged, the device can still be charged, a crucial detail for active classroom environments. Plus, these Chromebooks are equipped with advanced Intel N150 processing, providing robust performance for today’s tasks and ensuring long-term viability with an automatic update expiration date of 2035. This longevity is a significant benefit for schools looking to maximize their technology investments.
CTL Supports Teaching Smarter, Not Harder
CTL’s new products at ISTELive 2025 directly address common pain points for educators and IT staff. For teachers and students, CTL’s NL73 Gen 2 Series and PX121E Chromebooks offer robust, reliable tools for student learning. Teachers can focus on instruction, not technical glitches.
For IT administrators, these features translate into significant time and cost savings. The durable hardware reduces repair cycles and replacement needs. The extended automatic updates simplify fleet management by postponing costly hardware refreshes. And, the Chromebox OPS OPx1-3 can breathe new life into classroom display technology by providing a dedicated, easily managed ChromeOS solution for interactive flat panels that may no longer be supported. IT staff can deploy, update, and secure displays centrally, minimizing individual troubleshooting and extending their lifetime across the school.
Customers also enjoy working with CTL. “The customer service is exceptional,” says Nate Luoden of the Ambrose School. “In this day and age, to get a reply to an inquiry within four hours or less is nice. For most times it’s under two hours. It keeps things moving along to receive a product that outshines other brands.”
As a B Corp, CTL is very concerned with the circularity of electronic devices and avoiding waste wherever possible. “I was very impressed with the (bulk) boxing,” an employee of Quality Network Solutions recently said unsolicited. “Having spent untold hours unboxing hundreds of Chromebooks each in their own box like you’d find at a Walmart, I can’t tell you how much we appreciate such a simple, common sense approach.”
