New Chrome Devices Offer Power, Durability & Security

Today, 50 million students and teachers around the globe use Chromebooks. And as the education world evolves, especially in a more virtual environment, it’s important that Chromebooks evolve with it.

Why Teachers Need More Powerful Devices?

Powerful devices help teachers plan and share lessons, manage student performance, and teach both remotely and in person. IT teams need machines they can easily repair, repurpose, and upgrade. And students need devices that keep their personal and school data safe that are light and sturdy enough to fit into a backpack.

For all of these reasons, Google is introducing a new line of more secure and sustainable Chromebook devices — plus updated programs, resources, and Chrome OS advances — built entirely for the education world:

  • Versatile devices, built for education - Empower everyone in your school community with tools, apps, and features that meet their needs.

  • Easy to manage and scale - Be in control of all of your school’s devices – and support your IT team with the Chrome Education Upgrade.

  • Designed to power educational experiences - Made to be fast, easy to use, reliable, and ready for learning, Chromebooks boost productivity both in and out of the classroom.

Discover More Device Options

We know there are many Chromebooks out there, and it can be hard to find the right one for your school’s unique needs. On Google’s new Chromebook discovery webpage, they’re highlighting device capabilities — from graphic design to lesson planning to video conferencing.

Discover new Chromebook models with features like LTE connectivity, improved video conferencing, and camera-based document scanning, which make it easier to connect and collaborate any time, anywhere.

Chromebooks Benefits

Fast boot-up and robust performance let classes get going and stay going.

Automatic updates happen in the background and don’t require a restart, so interruptions are minimised.

Customised settings for each user helps individuals stay focused on education, not their device:

  • 55% fewer unplanned outages

  • 76% less frequent restarting

  • 73% less time to restart

  • 59% less time spent on maintenance

Cost effective and help maximise your school’s budget

  • Schools can purchase, deploy, and operate Chromebooks at a 57% lower cost over three years. Lower upfront costs let you use budget elsewhere

  • No need to invest in licenses for additional software because the OS is cloud based



Case Study: Devonport Boys High School

Devonport Boys High School (DHSB) was one of the first schools to deploy Google Workspace for Education and Chromebooks in the United Kingdom. It turned a problem with their email into a catalyst for a new style of learning and made incremental gains to become a more collaborative, effective and dynamic learning environment.

“Many clubs use Google Sites now, including the Biology Society, Chess Club, Astronomy Club, and the Debate Club. Clubs share everything from a calendar of events, to information and photos, and use Google Sites in their lessons to make an e-portfolio.”
