As a whole, that's a fact. However it also depends on the student and applications. My 14 year old nephew in middle school has signed up for a media club where they create and edit videos. He wants to get into online streaming video production. A basic Chromebook will not run their required Adobe Premiere Pro for video editing, so his parents had to buy him a decent desktop replacement laptop.Sorry, education laptops (targeted at the K-12 market) just need to run Office and browse the internet, they don't need x86 compatibility, and for that compatibility you have to sacrifice a lot in that price area.
But how well do you think Adobe Premiere Pro would run on a 6w 14nm Celeron N4120 with a 1.1ghz base and 2.6ghz "burst" frequency? Not well.As a whole, that's a fact.

Read 10tacle's post.What does Premier Pro have to do with anything?
Similarly, I wouldn't run AutoCad on such a system, or manage a billion row SQL database.
I have a little Asus Transformer. Atom N8350 processor, 4GB RAM.
It does what it needs to do. Runs Word, Excel, Chrome or FF, movies via VLC...
Not every system needs to be an uber box that can run everything on the planet.
Yes, I did.Read 10tacle's post.
Which is why in my first post I stated:Yes, I did.
And Premier Pro, or any other large application is not suited for a low end system. Or a Chromebook.
That does not mean low end systems are useless.
10tacle brought up Adobe Premiere Pro not running on a Chromebook, therefore requiring x86 compatibility and a desktop quality laptop, in the second post, and I referenced Microsoft's upcoming flagship Windows 11 SE Surface product featuring a very slow Celeron processor in the third post to bring home the point that the Windows 11 SE market doesn't exist as the Windows kernel and x86 applications, aside from basic office programs, and even those have become very resource intensive, especially on the HDD, are far too heavy to run effectively on the very low end hardware that Microsoft is targeting with Windows 11 SE in the likely $400 area market. We run into the same problem as when OEMs put Vista on computers barely able to run XP.Sorry, education laptops (targeted at the K-12 market) just need to run Office and browse the internet, they don't need x86 compatibility, and for that compatibility you have to sacrifice a lot in that price area.
