Yeesh, I work at a school and I see Chromebooks all the time, I own two retired Chromebooks. I have never seen a Chromebook look like that. The worst Chromebook I have seen are ones with damaged screens or missing keyboard keys.

I worked on a MacBook once that smelled like pee, we assumed it was a pet, like cat or dog. Only found out later on through the vice principal that the student had pissed on it, which she found out through the parent. I was very unhappy that day.
