When purchasing computers for use in schools or businesses, cost is usually an important factor. Systems that require users to access the Internet to carry out everyday tasks can be problematic for a variety of reasons, not least of all the large amount of network traffic created by numerous machines in use at any given time. While Chromebooks may seem like a more affordable option than Windows devices, they require paying for much higher bandwidth. To keep pace with this bandwidth, the number of wireless access points in a school or business will need to increase. Implementing and maintaining the new routers can create unforeseen costs in hardware and IT staffing.
