ChromeOS is still huge in education and I still see more people moving from Windows and Apple to ChromeOS than vice versa.

However, the introduction of the MacBook Neo has generated a lot of serious discussion about the possibility of it being a ChromeOS replacement, which surprises me. Not a lot of people pulling the trigger yet until the Neo can make volume.

I would virtually guarantee that any Chromebooks for Education versions of these new devices would be hobbled by restrictive data sharing policies forcing the disabling of the Gemini Intelligence features.

Also, most schools purchase the most abysmally low quality Chromebooks for students, which cost in the $200-300 range in bulk orders. They're awful.
