The danish government is not underfunded.
It's a a question of will and wants. They don't HAVE to buy chromebooks. They can buy hardware like everyone else. It's a government so they probably have to open it up for all suppliersto bid. But it can still be done.
And a lot of the cost will go back into their people and create jobs.
And price isn't even the main question. It's the fact that Googles data collection on students might make their chromebooks illegal to use.
Doesn't matter if it's free. It's not legal.
