This right here. Everyone in this thread is looking for MBP use cases or a Linux PC or a second daily driver from a device that is CLEARLY designed to take foothold in the classroom. The $499 price point goes even lower for volume EDU sales. The company is not going to explicitly position this as a classroom device - it’s inherent through its spec limitations and even its packaging.
Now it’s a matter of how delicately they promote it with third party learning management tools, Google Classroom, Canvas, etc, or MDMs.
ICYMI, the Neo is an even better deal at $499 with education pricing.

MDM on MacOS still kinda sucks compared to Linux or Windows. I mean, it’s fine. But they genuinely have work to do there
