How long do Chromebooks last? Shorter than you think!

Did you know that laptop batteries generally have only 500-550 cycles (one full charge) until they run out? And Chromebooks even less at about 300-500 cycles?

If we assume these devices are being fully charged once a day, it’s easy to deduce that these batteries, and the devices performance will decline after just a year and a half. 

Continuing down this path, laptops and Chromebooks are estimated to be past their usefulness after about 3-5 years

BUT! The bad news is that time clocks are on 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. So with a standard battery life of around 6 hours give or take, that would be 4 charges a day! Meaning your chromebooks and DIY time clocks will begin declining in performance after only 125 days... Not ideal! With constant use massively shortening the lifespan of laptops and chromebooks, you will need a reliable device to power your time collection strategy. 

Time clocks are one of the most unassuming, but powerful electronic devices. Time clocks sit at the ready for you and your staff 24/7, 365 and have to be prepared to log every punch so your employees can get paid quickly, correctly, and keep your mind at ease.
