- zepto 10y agoChromebooks aren't better - they are just cheap and familiar looking. Google has done nobody a service except themselves.
- danieldk 10y agoIt's not just about Chromebooks, it's the Chromebook in combination with Google Apps for Education which provides Google Mail, Hangouts, Google Docs, and an electronic course environment: https://www.google.com/edu/products/productivity-tools/classroom/index.html https://www.google.com/edu/products/productivity-tools/class...
- jfoster 10y agoThey're cheaper and still good enough. They're popular because that combination is closer to what is desired by the market.
- KWD 10y agoI would say they are better at fulfilling this particular role. A Chromebook meets and exceeds requirements for a computer for many, and with the benefit of low maintenance (it just works), so why would they need what Apple offers.
