Ever since they were first introduced in 2011, Chromebooks have been an extremely popular addition to K-12 schools across the country. The importance of having enough Chromebooks for each student to use became essential in spring 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic forced schools to pivot to an online-only learning format for the better part of an entire school year. Now, Chromebooks are a fixture in elementary, middle, and high schools all over America. Thanks to their user-friendly operating system and comparatively low price point, Chromebooks show no sign of slowing down as the preferred classroom computer for student use.
Now that kids are back in school, Chromebooks are still a large part of their school day. Teachers use class sets of Chromebooks to supplement lessons in virtually every area of the curriculum. Whether a school has enough Chromebooks for each student or just a class set of 30 computers that are rotated between classrooms, schools still face an important issue of where and how to easily store them. Because of this, Chromebook carts have become the go-to option for schools looking to safely and efficiently store and move the laptops when they’re not in use.
What is a Chromebook Cart?
Remember those old A/V carts that your teacher used to roll in the shared TV/VCR combo for movie days back in the 1980s? The Chromebook cart takes the same principles of its old-school predecessor and builds upon it for a smart and efficient way to store Chromebooks and move them between classrooms. Built with enough storage space for up to 45 Chromebooks, these carts not only keep class sets of laptops or tablets safe and organized but also act as a charging station to ensure optimal performance with each use.
Cart models like the Anywhere Cart AC-MAX 36 Bay Smart Charge for 15.6-17” laptops contain essential features such as 3-point locking doors with padlock loops, two external power outlets and two USB charging ports, as well as removable AC adapter baskets, allowing for other electronic devices to be stored and charged along with laptops. Adjustable device dividers can slide from 1.18” up to 2.6” wide, making it easy to accommodate different-sized laptops and tablets. An integrated cable management system with cable clips keeps charging cords tidy and tangle-free. Best of all, for all its capabilities, the small, space-saving footprint of this slim cart makes it easy to move and park. The AC-MAX 36 Bay Smart Charge ships fully assembled, eliminating guesswork or hassle on your school’s part.
The Anywhere Cart AC-MAX 36 Bay Smart Charge is just one of many versatile and handy Chromebook carts available for purchase. Take a look at the wide variety of carts to find the one that best fits your school’s Chromebook storage needs, and get ready to have a much more stress-free experience with moving, storing, and protecting your important student-use devices.
