So... what the durability on them? Also, as multiple kids log in to them with various profiles, will they start screwing up after a while?
I run my class entirely off google drive, so I'd be great going with chromebooks (I also teach English, so I want keyboards, which is added cost for iPads). I'm just worried about their life cycle vs an iPad's life cycle in a school environment.
Currently almost all teachers prefer the iPads just because they boot up reliably and quickly in comparison to all of our laptops, which can take 10 minutes for a kid to log into.

I'm not 100% sure of this, but I don't think the store hardly any profile info locally, and they don't run simultaneous sessions or anything, so multiple users should essentially make no difference.
