The new Chromebooks have double the memory and double the storage for $15 dollars more per device than what we paid for our existing Chromebooks six years ago. The new Chromebooks are the newest generation of the same model line as our old Chromebooks (R751T vs R756T) with some repairability and durability improvements. They have the same functionality as our old Chromebooks, but with better specs. Here is the data sheet:
