It's worth checking that out too, it has a few additional details. I wonder how these compared to iPads on those same metrics? My kid's schools switched from iPads to Chromebooks.

Having worked in IT at a school in my early days, you couldn't convince people that iPad's weren't the way to go in a Windows ecosystem.
