  • Compared: 2018 iPad versus the Acer Chromebook 11 in the school

    The cost to schools isn't just the hardware. It's also the support and upkeep. 
     
    My son's school system has chosen Google ecosystem, Chromebooks are natural fit. Although iPhones are the most popular smartphone by far at that school, almost all of the kids use Chromebooks for school work. Minimum support and upkeep is needed. That is the beauty of it.  ChromeOS is very secure, and is updated often and automatically. I have heard that geeks go to hacker conferences carrying only burner phones and Chromebooks. If something goes wrong, just do a  power wash, as good as new.

    We bought an ASUS Flip C213SA-YS02 Chromebook for our son. It  is ruggedized and water resistant, aka Mil-STD-810G construction, to protect against everyday bumps, knocks and drops. Can get a stylus EMR pen with it too. I'd imagine it is better suited for school environment than an iPad.
