TL;DR
- Kansas City Public Schools are replacing over 30,000 Chromebooks and Windows PCs with Apple’s MacBook Neo as part of a transition to an “all-Apple district.”
- More than 4,500 MacBook Neo laptops have already been purchased for students, and more will follow.
- The move could signal growing pressure on Chromebooks and Google’s upcoming Googlebooks initiative when it comes to young users.
Chromebooks have been very popular in US classrooms thanks to their affordable prices, simple management tools, and tight integration with Google’s education ecosystem. But one major US school district is now changing camps, and it could hint at a much bigger challenge ahead for Google.
