CHROMEBOOK GUIDELINE As you can see in these photos, it shows you what not to do, and what to do with your computer. If you continuously bend your computer past 90 degrees eventually the ribbon cable attached to the screen will come loose and your screen will no longer work. We should all treat our computers with respect. We want our computers to last, and be usable for doing work on a daily bases. We ask that all students, and teachers keep all computers at 90 or less degree angle. Please and Thank you. NO YES
