Chromebooks are much more secure for enterprise and education.

macOS is awful to manage on an enterprise and education level. This will always be Apple’s achilles heel in truly breaking into this market. Admins will push back.

Google has Security down to a science. ChromeOS has little to no malware. Google is constantly reporting malware and exploits to Apple so they can patch active vulns.

I’m not sure about that. Physical build quality on chromebooks is poor. My kids school switched off because the kids were always breaking them.

iPads a Macs stand up to much more abuse by students.

MacOS has very little malware even though users have more access to do things.

All google data is used to train AI and advertise. I’d like to not have that near my kids. Would rather have Apple’s “make money off hardware” from a data privacy standpoint.

My school, my college, and my current enterprise (Fortune 500, etc.) environment all manage it just fine.

At my last company the support staff for the Macs was one fifth the size of that supporting the PCs (almost the same quantities of Macs and PCs)
