$499 for general educational discount, but I am betting that school districts will get volume discounts above that. It's going to be very price-competitive.

They famously don't. Betting and guessing doesn't work well here. Best to ask the question instead of make the assertion.
I doubt schools will be getting this much cheaper. This is already a really aggressively priced product.
These are probably gonna have a decent resell value. Macbook products have a very higher resell value compared to say chromebooks/normal laptops.
I can imagine schools buying them for their students and then taking them after the semester is over and then giving to next but also reselling it at a very nice value if they might want the next line of product at a decent price.
Also this not only applies to school but normal people who buy the Macbook Neo too
My understanding is that students are very hard on school provided laptops, I don’t think many of them that have been in use for a year will be in good resale condition.
