They’ll last until either: the school stops using gsuite or some other company comes up with something even trendier to market that is cheap enough to justify a grant.
Probably because Google encourages OEMs to keep the hardware dirt cheap so that they can expose as many kids as possible to G Suite in hopes that eventually they can overthrow Microsoft Office.
Why are they using it rather than windows?
CHEAP hardware
CHEAP e-waste
My nephew’s school has been using the same Chromebooks for at least the four years he’s been there.
How long do you expect them to last?

Nah ChromeOS devices have an “expiration date” after which they stop receiving updates and I suspect, stop working with their gsuite package.

Huh, I am not surprised at all
