Lenovo Device Intelligence for Education

Lenovo Device Intelligence (LDI) is now integrated directly with the Google Admin Console for ChromeOS, providing school IT teams with a powerful, centralized tool to manage and maintain large fleets of Chromebooks. Designed to address challenges like limited budgets, small teams, and widespread deployments, LDI uses AI-powered predictive analytics to identify, prevent, and resolve common device issues before they escalate.

Through its dashboard, IT administrators can monitor performance metrics such as device health scores, battery status, storage usage, and app-related slowdowns. The system proactively flags current and potential problems, offering alerts and recommended solutions to help extend device lifespan and minimize downtime across entire school districts.

Lenovo has introduced a Smart Charger for Chromebooks—a compact and efficient solution that can charge up to five USB-C devices at once while providing real-time battery monitoring. Tailored for school IT administrators, this sleek charger offers a modern alternative to bulky, outdated charging equipment, streamlining power management in educational environments.
