Looking for a new set of classroom computers for your school? What about a durable, affordable, portable laptop for your kid? Or maybe you’re just interested in owning a high-quality computer that’s been handcrafted in the United States. Well, the Atlas checks all those boxes and then some. Here are three things you need to know about the new Atlas lineup from Bak USA.
1. We’re introducing two new Atlas models in 2018.
Here’s what’s new: the Atlas Standard (2018 Model) and the Atlas Premium. While both computers have the same look and feel, each model has a different processing power, memory, and storage capacity. Can you tell the difference between the Atlas Standard (2018 Model) and the Atlas Premium below? Probably not. And that’s by design. Same look and feel. Different power under the hood.
2. Atlas computers are purpose-built for education, so you can expect the same durable, versatile, and portable features from any Atlas you choose.
3. Each Atlas is built to meet your needs at a price point you can afford.
You know you need a high-performance computer, but do you know how performance is measured? Check out the charts below to see what sort of tech specs each Atlas is working with, and—more importantly—what that means to users like you.
