Why? Aren’t people saying that Chromebooks are easier to deploy and manage in schools?
kotaKat•16m ago
Google can't decide what the hell they wanted a Chromebook to do and IT departments everywhere are fed up with it.

Plus I don't think schools are ready to have to deal with managing glorified Android laptops now that Google signaled their wholesale abandonment of the Chromebook platform.

The article doesn’t say why, but at launch the MacBook Neo was the most inexpensive Mac Apple ever made, and it’s a full proper Mac. Despite being inexpensive, it also isn’t junk.

Chromebooks can be had for cheaper, but if a school district was on the fence before about moving to Macs, then Apple made the decision much easier for them.
