> I don't think Chromebooks are good computers for kids to learn on. I think its fine for kids to learn on. Its arguably not ideal for learning computing, but that's not most of what kids learn using a computer. > What is the reason given for Chromebooks being used so much in US schools? Price per unit and the fact that its bundled with software and services for centralized administration. There's nothing comparable in traditional Linux. Windows could have competed but dropped the low-end netbook as a category right around when Google started making inroads with Chromebook, and even with Windows-on-ARM neither Microsoft nor anyone using Windows seems to have really targeted the same market. > Is it just Google having a good sales team? I don't know how good their sales team is, I think they are the only firm that acts like they want market at all.
