What press? A competent school district would expect to operate the hardware for 2 or 3 years at most. And those tablets were nothing more than $200 Chromebooks with a touchscreen. Compared to textbook pricing they came out ahead.

Did somebody just reinvent the Knork? https://youtu.be/pFG03EJOhcQ
Agreed. It seems like the "Hub" mode is just a fancy screensaver which is a placeholder for something more.
I do like the tablet but the "hub mode" is nothing more than a fancy charger with a speaker. I have to keep a Nest Mini next to it for my smart home things to work in that room when I take the tablet to another part of the house.
I picked up an old Dell Optiplex tower and slapped 4 cheap 4 TB drives in it. Setup as RAID 5 I got 12 TB of "redundant" storage for cheap! Perfect spot to keep all the p0rn torrents.
But I used OpenMediaVault for that deployment. It's been OK.... but I kinda feel that I am missing out on some of the more active developments of other distributions.
Despite that, I would absolutely suggest grabbing an old office computer and throwing some drives into it for a home NAS.
