Chromebooks basically own the K-12 education in the US since schools get them as part of a subscription to Google Classroom, they're also cheap and easily managed. I think Google hopes that it'll result in those kids buying Chromebooks as teens and adults, but they're not great gaming devices.

Personally we have one (HP x360) in the kitchen as a recipe/youtube computer, and it's perfect. Half the cost of an iPad with multi-user support and a real keyboard.
