Yeah. The article tosses out this one anecdote of a Windows laptop being easy to fix but I guarantee no K-12 IT department is doing bootleg ChromeBook repairs. Also the main alternative here is probably a tablet not a Windows much less a Linux laptop.
As for the life cycle I think laptops are on something like a 3 or 4 year refresh cycle where I work though in practice it’s pretty loose.
