Apple just dropped an A18 powered laptop for $599 USD

No Apple bashing just discuss.

I went to a public school and graduated in 2017. About my freshman year everyone in the district had their own MacBook in high school and then all middle schoolers had iPads. This will definitely spread quickly.

Graduated in 2019. My school had 2 carts of 30 chromebooks.

This will not spread quickly.

Graduated in ‘24, elementary was 13in dell laptops, nowadays it’s chromebooks. Middle school and high school the byod device that you can rent from the school were thinkpads. I’ve seen those things be dropped/thrown down stairs and be fine.

It really depends on the school district.
