Chromebooks In Schools?

In among this article about Apple’s new push to get IPads used in schools <https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2018/03/analysis-new-ipads-will-help-apple-in-education-but-probably-not-enough/> is the interesting information that Google Chromebooks are heavily used throughout the US school system: Google offers G Suite for Education for free, sans some features. Adding the full suite of enterprise features costs only $4 per user per month, compared to $25 per user per month for other kinds of organizations. Papers are typed in Google Docs. Presentations are done using Google Presentations. Each student has a Google email account assigned through the district. Homework is handed out and done entirely on Chromebooks in many classes. In so many words, Google has spread its tentacles throughout the entire school district at every level ... Are Chromebooks used in schools here? I noticed a couple of units on sale in OfficeMax when I dropped in there a few weeks ago. I don’t recall seeing them anywhere else in town.
