Making Chromebooks with Neverware

Why recycle old desktops and laptops when they can be turned into Chromebooks? Many districts are turning to Cloudready by Neverware to extend the life and use of older laptops and desktops. Bringing older machines into the Google Admin Console is a sure fire plus and saving big bucks by not having to purchase new hardware is a no brainer! It's easy to install and maintain. Come see how to bring Cloudready to your district while saving valuable resources!
