Taking Care of your Chromebook

Your Chromebook is a durable device. It is designed specifically for student use that features rubberized edges for shock resistance, a reinforced frame and spill-resistant keyboard. Even with these features, you must take good care of the device. The device is your responsibility.

Keep Food & Drinks Away

Spilling food or drink on the device can ruin it. Keep food and drinks away from your Chromebook at all times.

Cleaning Your Chromebook

Your Chromebook will get dirty. Use a damp cloth to wipe it down. Use a microfiber cleaning cloth to clean the screen. Avoid chemical cleaners as they may damage the screen or plastic.

Charging Your Chromebook ​
