[BETT Show 2019] Acer Launches Sturdy and Reliable TravelMate B114-21
Acer announced the new Acer TravelMate B114-21 at the 2019 BETT Show in London, held from January 23 to 26. The latest notebook in its range for education customers, the powerful and robust 14-inch notebook features a larger screen size and sports a sturdy design to protect it from the knocks of school life, ideal for use both in-school and out-of-school.
Top-Class Learning Tools and All-day Power
The Acer TravelMate B114-21 is designed to equip students with the learning tools they need, supporting educational multimedia apps and resources. Featuring up to a 7th Gen AMD A6-9220C APU paired with Radeon™ R5 Graphics, it offers powerful support for learning and teaching activities. The TravelMate B114-21 offers generous storage options with up to a 256GB dual-lane PCIe NVMe SSD or up to 64GB of eMMC flash memory. The Acer TravelMate B114-21 has up to 10 hours of battery life on a single charge, giving students a dependable learning companion throughout the school day.
Larger Screen Promotes Better Collaboration
The larger screen size gives students the screen space they need for a wider perspective as they learn. Working together on projects is easier on a wide 14-inch FHD display, and thanks to the laptop’s 180-degree hinge, the screen can lie flat for content sharing and easy collaboration with classmates.
Sturdy, Powerful and Built to Last
The Acer TravelMate B114-21 is designed with a rubber bumper and an impact-resistant body, so it can handle everything a hectic school day can throw at it. Compliant with the stringent US Military Standard (MIL-STD 810G), it can survive extreme temperatures, bad weather, drops from up to 122 cm, bumps and knocks as well as crowds of children.
Connected Learning
Reliable connectivity is essential for connected learning and the Acer TravelMate B114-21 comes with 802.11ac wireless and an RJ-45 Ethernet port to keep students connected. It also offers plenty of options to connect easily with peripherals such as screens, TVs and projectors and has a full selection of ports, including 1x HDMI, 1x USB 3.1 Gen1, 2x USB 2.0 and an SD card reader.
Designed with the School Environment in Mind
Microsoft Intune for Education allows IT administrators to easily manage devices for schools of all sizes. Software includes roll-out and management tools like Autopilot to ensure content is secure. Through Windows 10 in S mode, students can quickly and safely access Microsoft-verified secure apps and the educational resources they need.
Part of the Growing TravelMate for Education Line
The TravelMate B114-21 is part of the TravelMate line of notebook PCs, which include the TravelMate B118 and the convertible TravelMate Spin B1, both released last year.
