Google Chromebook for Schools
Chromebooks play an important role in the classroom, helping students and teachers learn and collaborate from wherever they are. ScholarBuys helps K-12 schools and districts choose, deploy, and manage Chromebooks, along with the carts, cases, filtering, and management tools a classroom fleet depends on. Our K-12 team works with technology directors to bring devices, accessories, and software together into one plan, from the first order to the day a device is retired.

Why Chromebooks?
Google Chromebooks are revolutionizing the way schools teach in the classroom. Designed for users functioning in a mobile and interactive environment, Google Chromebooks are a perfect fit for the classroom. Schools no longer need to purchase the same software licenses, servers, security solutions, and maintenance plans, so the total cost of owning a Chromebook can be dramatically lower than the ownership of a traditional computer.
Affordable
Chromebooks dramatically reduce the cost of ownership and the management overhead compared with traditional PC’s. Not only are Chromebook units more affordable than traditional notebooks, the time and money you will NOT spend on deployment, management and support is a huge bonus. Chromebooks put money back in your budget
Easy to Manage
Manage 10 or 10,000 Chromebooks with ease. The web-based Google Admin Console, purchased separately, makes it easy for a school IT administrator to configure a fleet of Chromebooks. Using the console, IT can remotely manage devices, users, apps, and policies across classrooms, a school, or a district. This solution helps to eliminate time intensive tasks like imaging, updating the OS, installing patches, and data recovery.
Â
Perfect for Sharing
Chromebooks are lightweight, instant-on devices, fast to use and don’t slow down over time. Chromebooks do not use a large internal hard drive. Chromebooks not only deliver extended battery life, but will help safeguard your most important of files. They have built-in security, so you are protected against viruses and malware. No OS patching is required. All data is encrypted.
Additional Items to Consider
How do schools manage a fleet of Chromebooks?
Schools manage Chromebooks from the Google Admin console, a web-based console where IT sets policies, deploys apps, and secures devices across a classroom, a school, or an entire district. Each managed device needs a ChromeOS Education Upgrade (formerly Chrome Education Upgrade). Many education Chromebooks come with the upgrade included. The upgrade also includes around-the-clock ChromeOS troubleshooting support from Google, and admins can manage devices from a phone when they’re away from their desk.
How long do Chromebooks receive updates?
Chromebooks receive 10 years of automatic updates from Google, covering security, stability, and new features. The 10 years are counted from when the model’s platform was released, not from the purchase date. Google publishes each model’s update date on its Auto Update policy page, so check it before you buy. After a device’s final update, Google notes that management policies may not work as intended and technical support ends. That makes the update date a natural point to plan a refresh, and our device buyback program can help with retired devices.
How do Chromebooks protect students and school data?
Chromebooks include built-in protections such as verified boot, which checks the system each time the device starts, and automatic updates. The ChromeOS Education Upgrade adds the controls IT uses to lock down and secure devices from the Admin console. Most schools pair this with web filtering to manage what students can reach online, in school and at home.
