Still an US only phenomenon, I haven't seen anyone in education related domains with a Chromebook, specially since in Europe it is up to the students to care for their own hardware, as consumer purchase.

If I am reading this article correctly, it looks like the %/market that Chromebooks have managed to capture in the field of education is large worldwide.

Ah, one of those Gartner studies that companies buy from 2015, yet we don't see them on the stores.

When we do happen to see one, if it is a store we visit regularly, what we see is the same device on display being discounted to death until the store finally manages to get rid of it.

I must have seen around 5 like that, so I don't get where Gartner is getting their values from.

I'm all for skepticism of statistics, but you're offering an anecdote to refute it...

It might be an anecdote, but apparently it is one shared by the majority of European HNers.

So where are those units that Gartner states were sold over here?

The plural of anecdote is not data.
