There are some very good discounts (not like Apple discounts) for bulk
purchase too. Deeside college have 350-400 devices.
There's a bit here from Deeside

Functionality, for students is great. Most spend nearly all their time
on the web, or writing documents. Battery lasts all day...
Thanks,

From my perspective, the price & functionality aren't right. If they
were a lot cheaper than they are, and I didn't mind google having all my
data...

why iPad, why a netbook? its down to personal choices and reasons -
'why NOT a chromebook?'
might be the rather terse and rapid counter from the person who wants
to use one.
If the price was right and the functionality right I might be tempted
to get one of those Google systems...and later some Google glasses to
pair with it etc - but I simply dont believe in relying on remote data
storage for my personal data.
