The Total Economic Impact of
Chromebooks in Education

Designed specifically for education, Chromebooks are versatile, easy-to-manage, and secure. New research from Forrester finds that not only are Chromebooks cost effective, they also improve outcomes, so students, teachers, and IT professionals can spend more time teaching and learning, resulting in 229% return on investment.

76% IT time savings

IT staff can reduce the amount of time they spend deploying and managing Chromebooks by using Chrome Education Upgrade and the cloud based Google Admin console.

42 hours in annual teacher time savings and 18 hours in annual student time savings

Chromebooks start fast and stay fast, and automatic updates don’t disrupt teaching and learning time, helping teachers and students with time on task.

$28M saved by avoiding legacy hardware and peripheral costs

Chromebooks are at a lower price point, reducing overall hardware costs. And because they don’t need additional keyboards or other accessories that legacy tablets often require, peripheral costs are lower, too.

$2.8M saved through retiring legacy security tools

Chromebooks have built in security features, including automatic updates, verified boot, and 256-bit data encryption, with zero successful reported ransomware attacks.

“Dare to take the leap to Google. In the end, it provides schools with a very pleasant environment that has benefits on all sides for students, staff, management, and your budget."
