I recently heard from couple of Technology Directors at schools that they are looking to procure Macbook Neos replacing their Chromebooks. This might be a strategy to defend their Chromebook market in schools.

Why would an organization want to move from a centrally managed fleet to an unmanaged fleet?

You can still centrally manage Macs? Look at every tech company.

[tty46]

Yeah, but can schools do what even tech companies struggle with/cobble together here?

Macs are very popular in schools today for teachers and staff. Switching to Macbook Neos for students would actually simplify their support burden. I'm not sure they'd be cost justified though.

Reddit r/k12sysadmin disagrees. Sure, as always there will some that will switch to Apple. Why not. Some even have MS.

What do you think schools do currently?
