minus-square@ILoveUnions@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish2•2 months agoA Chromebook for school kids costs around $200 when I was in school 5 years ago… A normal computer would cost closer to 500
minus-square@Jankatarch@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish2•edit-22 months agoChromebooks are cheap compared to average laptop but still expensive compared to identical laptops with same components.
