A school/library should not waste money on a $4000 computer.

  ... they should waste $8000 on an Intel + Nvidia to teach video processing?

  Our library has a room with a PS4 with four controllers and a full VR set and 3D-printers and a CAD vinyl cutter and a bunch of sowing machines etc. It's not a waste of money when you bring expensive equipment to tens of thousands of people to use. A single $4k computer for a 1000+ student school should be an afterthought, spread that cost over 5 years and the cost per student is minuscule. This is not a Chromebook you get for every student, you'll need one or two max - unless the school specifically focuses on A/V production.
