They’re a pretty good mix of incredibly cheap, reasonably rugged, fast enough to run classroom and edit docs, well-understood/documented how to use, consistent across the student population, and have incredible battery life. Our high school issues every entering student a Chromebook and they keep it when they leave. I am pretty happy to see my tax money spent that way.
