A 720p HD video webcam, high-def IPS display (with Corning Gorilla Glass), and dual array microphones are designed for use with Google Hangouts.
In addition, the Dell Chromebook 13 is built to be secure with Dell unique IP from KACE, SonicWALL (VPN) and Wyse (when used with a Dell Secure Mobile Access appliance or next-generation firewall).
Google’s cloud-based management console is also utilized by the Chromebook 13 to simplify deployment, and centrally manage, update and track systems.
