My school recently bought all students chromebooks and it got me thinking. If they can buy 5000 chromebooks for 20$ a pop, why does it cost me 80 to buy one individually? what am i missing?

You’ve gotten other good answers on bulk purchasing generally. The thing that I’d add is that putting 5,000 Acer (or whichever brand) Chrombooks in the hands of students likely has additional benefits to the manufacturer, such as selling additional products to the students, taking a share of software subscriptions or pre-loaded software on the device, being able to sell student data, etc. $20 may be under cost to get the other benefits to being the Chrombook provider to the school.
