What ChromebookParts.com does

ChromebookParts.com, operated by PC Parts Plus LLC, is a privately held U.S. e-commerce retailer specializing in Chromebook replacement parts, full-unit devices, repair services, and end-of-life device buyback/ITAD services. Founded in 2014 by Shane Johnson (CEO/Visionary) in Minneapolis, the company has grown into a 11-50 employee operation currently headquartered at 1000 Kristen Ct Ste 2, Saint Paul, MN, and positions itself as an EdTech Lifecycle Partner covering device deployment through end-of-life disposal for K-12 school districts and individual consumers.

Its core product is a 4,886+ SKU replacement-parts catalog spanning seven major Chromebook brands (Acer, Asus, CTL, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Samsung), including LCD panels, keyboards, palmrests, batteries, AC adapters, motherboards, touchpads, hinges, cables, speakers, and cameras, with transparent grade-A/B/C condition tiers. The technology layer is a Magento-based e-commerce storefront organized by brand and model, complemented by an extensive proprietary technical-help content library (reserialization guides, write-protection procedures, EMR film-to-LCD transfer guides) and an active YouTube repair-tutorial channel. Adjacent offerings include new and refurbished full-unit Chromebooks ($251.99-$461.99), accessories (cases, screen protectors, repair toolkits), and a 46-in-1 magnetic repair kit.

Revenue is generated across five streams: replacement-parts sales, full-device sales (new/refurbished/recertified), professional repair services with dedicated district account representatives, a buyback/ITAD credit program (with non-expiring credits), and accessories. The go-to-market combines direct e-commerce for consumers and small buyers with B2B sales through dedicated district account reps and vendor registration across five educational purchasing cooperatives (PEPPM, TIPS, REMC SAVE, CHOICE PARTNERS, REGION 5), enabling school procurement through existing contracts. Pricing is unit-based across hardware SKUs and quote-based for repair services; volume terms and purchase-order acceptance support institutional buyers. Geographic scope is U.S.-only with no disclosed international expansion.

Direct peers

• iFixit: iFixit is the largest direct-to-consumer replacement parts and repair guide retailer for electronics. It is highly comparable because it sells replacement components (screens, batteries, keyboards) and publishes extensive free repair tutorials — the same model CBP executes for Chromebooks specifically.
• Parts-People: Parts-People is a direct-to-consumer laptop replacement parts retailer specializing in ThinkPad and other business laptops. It is comparable to CBP because both sell brand-specific replacement parts (LCDs, keyboards, motherboards) directly to consumers and IT departments with similar grading and warranty practices.
• LaptopScreen.com: LaptopScreen.com specializes in replacement LCD panels for laptops across many brands. It is comparable to CBP because LCD screens are CBP's highest-volume SKU category (multiple sizes and grades listed) and LaptopScreen.com pursues the same consumer-replacement-purchase motion.
• PowerOn: PowerOn provides Chromebook and laptop repair services to school districts nationwide with dedicated account management. It is a direct competitor to CBP's repair services line because both target K-12 procurement with similar repair logistics, free shipping labels, and per-district account reps.
• Trinity3 Technology: Trinity3 Technology is a value-added reseller focused on Chromebook and education technology deployments for schools. It is comparable because it competes for the same district procurement dollars across devices, accessories, and lifecycle services.

Broad incumbents

• CDW Government: CDW is one of the largest US education technology resellers serving K-12 and higher education with Chromebooks, parts, services, and ITAD. It is comparable as a broad incumbent competing for the same district wallet share across the same procurement cooperatives.
• SHI International: SHI International is a major IT solutions and education technology reseller offering devices, lifecycle services, and asset disposition to school districts. It competes for the same procurement-cooperative contracts and district-level services business as CBP.
• Connection Public Sector: Connection is a large IT reseller with a dedicated public-sector and education practice offering Chromebooks, services, and asset disposition. It is comparable because it competes for the same district procurement contracts and offers overlapping lifecycle services.
• Insight Public Sector: Insight Public Sector is a large IT solutions provider serving K-12 and government with devices, services, and lifecycle management. It competes for the same district procurement contracts and overlaps on device sales and lifecycle services.

Emerging players

• CTL: CTL manufactures Chromebooks directly and also supplies parts and devices to K-12 customers through similar channels. It is comparable because CTL is both a Chromebook OEM and a parts supplier listed in CBP's catalog — a partial vertical overlap and potential partner/competitor.
