Specifically built to "survive the rough-and-tumble reality of student life", the semi-rugged device is IP51-certified to resist dust and spills, as well as survive drops from up to 70cm. It looks unsurprisngly similar to the Intel Classmate PC unveiled at Intel's Global Solutions Summit in April, as the 3E is a "result of a collaborative partnership between Panasonic, Intel Education and Microsoft" as described on the product page.
