My reaction is simply that poor schools will soon be budgeting a 10-year Chromebook cycle. In 2033, students will be typing and tapping on Chromebooks that could be twice their age. Yuck.


If it works it’s fine. Schools are under immense budget pressures. It’s normal to use a textbook with your older sibling’s name written in it because it was issued to them. Now if it shows your mom’s name written there the book is too old.


So what? Laptops made 10 years ago are perfectly cromulent for typical classroom activities.
