I don't know about the good deal but the e-waste part was clear from the beginning. No surprise. It's written on the package.
For this reason, and the part where the children's privacy is sold to Google, and the part where the children are taught to rely on someone else's computer (in particular big US corps), and the part where the pupils need to agree to some private corp's ToS for what is mandatory and public, schools should never have signed for this. No, it was not a good deal.

The value is not only not added, but is taken away from the educational process. I thought Microsoft was evil in the 90s, but seeing this soulless monster of a corporation anywhere near my children feels like a freaking horror movie.
