Inspiring—like the best teachers
The 500e Chromebook (2nd Gen) perfectly blends on-the-go technology with powerful processing and a premium classroom experience. Thanks to a 360-degree hinge, it can be used in four ways and there's a digital pen for on-screen writing and notetaking. This 11.6" 2-in-1 is rugged enough to handle whatever the school day brings.

A pen that's mightier than the keyboard
The 500e Chromebook (2nd Gen) has its own electro-magnetic resonance pen. Pressure-sensitive and highly accurate, it's ideal for taking notes, writing, drawing, and even for showing workings in math.

A device you can count on
Thanks to Corning® Gorilla® Glass 3 with Native Damage Resistance™, the 11.6" HD screen is able resist the kind of deep chips and scratches that cause regular glass to break.
