Glad to see Chromebooks mentioned. I for one consider Chrome to be Google's last attempt to extract those last pieces of information from the desktop which it can't get from having tracking on 99% of the pages found on the internet.
That and subvert internet standards by giving Google the ability to push their own HTML on server and client in real-time, forcing other browser to follow their lead or be declared "legacy" or "outdated" in front of users on Google-websites.
I consider Chrome to probably be the worst thing which has happened to the modern web. It's much worse than IE ever was.
On a real laptop you have the freedom to chose a privacy-respecting browser, but Chromebooks are even worse in the sense that there's only one browser, you can't chose any other, and the browser there is spying on you real-time.
That these devices are not illegal to use in a education-context is really astounding to me.
