No security or feature updates, but selling as "new." I guess they need to switch to Linux if able..

I imagine the IT person at schools might not be thrilled at the prospect of updating all Chromebooks in the school manually. On some schools, the IT guy might be a teacher doing double duty and simply might not have enough time to do it manually. One of the main selling point of Chromebook is low maintenance, which is why it's adopted by schools in the first place.

On my C202 I'd have to open the case, remove a jumper screw, flash a custom BIOS...

I don't even wanna do that on one Chromebook, never mind 20,000 of them.
