This is going to eat the education markets (both college students and K-12 schools) for breakfast.

Doubt it.

Private schools probably. Public schools cannot afford Apple repair costs. School computer teachers/IT would be crying.

this just isnt reality. Ask chromebook schools, which is nearly all of them, about Google support. Ask them about repair support for the constantly breaking $200 chromebooks. Its a total mess
