I’ve reviewed the Chromebooks extensively and have been universally impressed. The educational possibilities in a school willing to hang its hat on Google’s cloud and embrace a collaborative approach to education are quite extraordinary. Add to that Google’s Web-based management tools and the ability to dispense with re-imaging and regular upgrades and maintenance to potentially hundreds or thousands of machines and it gets very hard to dismiss Chromebooks in educational applications. In fact, I would argue that education in general (and 1:1 in particular) is the number one use case for Google’s latest foray into personal computing.
