HP is one of the major players in the laptop market and its devices are sold all over the world. The company has been fairly consistent over the years and continues to release new laptops. HP today officially announced its latest series of notebooks, the HP Fortis series. This new series includes durable Chromebooks and PCs optimized for learning. The company is announcing this new series at the right time given the current situation in the world. Due to the COVID-19 virus, students and even many parents now have to do a lot more from home. This new hybrid learning system is the new normal that we all need to adjust to.
However, it is inconvenient for parents to leave their children with a laptop connected to the Internet. This is because most PCs and Chromebooks are not made for kids. These devices are in many cases fragile and unstable to falling and other adverse impacts. This will ultimately shorten the life of the laptop when handled by children.
The HP Fortis series solves these problems with its rugged design. This series also creates a unified learning environment for kids while they are online.

The company has officially announced three new ChromeBooks from the new Fortis series. We have the HP Fortis 14" ChromeBook, the Fortis G14 10" ChromeBook, and the Fortis G11 Q 9" Chromebook.
