You only see a subset of the used population with Xeon parts due to the cost for a reason - most people get Xeon sticker shock, and because of the amount of Xeon vs Core i models Xeon machines fetch a premium :-(. Believe it or not, I’d love to own a Xeon Zbook 17 (Dreamcolor LCD), but they’re already expensive with the i7 used - add the Xeon premium… OUCH! ***The option already hikes a NEW Zbook 17 into hollywood/bulk college fund prices due to the low upgrade rate when the machine was new, regardless of OEM.***

You can also load the Xeon machines with a ton of RAM - some max at 128GB, with others going to 256GB with 4 DIMM slots. ***As tempting as it sounds, you don't need it as a student - it’s only sensible for a small percentage of people.

The Celeron is plenty for an average student with a Chromebook! I wouldn’t need 128GB, but I’d probably spring for 2x32GB on a 4 DIMM machine so I can bring it up from 64>128GB easily.***

You only see a subset of the used population with Xeon parts due to the cost for a reason. And they fetch a premium :( - I’d love to own a Xeon Zbook 17, but they’re already expensive with the i7 used… Add a Xeon and watch! It already hikes a NEW Zbook 17 into hollywood/bulk college fund money and they fetch accordingly on the used market.

You only see a subset of the used population with Xeon parts due to the cost for a reason. And they fetch a premium :(. I’d love to own a Zbook 17 with the Xeon, but they’re already expensive with the i7 used. They’re even worse with a Xeon! It already hikes a NEW Zbook 17 into hollywood/bulk college fund prices and they fetch accordingly on the used market due to how many people take HP/Dell/Lenovo up on it.

The amount of RAM one can fit in a Xeon notebook is very, very nice too - some 128GB max. You don't need it as a student.

You can also load them with a ton of RAM - some max at 128GB, with others going to 256GB with 4 DIMM slots. As tempting as it sounds, you don't need it as a student - it’s only sensible for a small percentage of people. Even I don’t need it all the time, but if I was to run 4K XVAC video or RAW images off of a mirrorless camera through it it would be very happy and run through very quickly.
CPU is soldered on this, along with all of the Chromebooks. In addition to that, you need a Xeon ready mobile chipset which is typically only found in the likes of the Zbook (HP)/Precision (Dell)/P Series (Lenovo) and those are not cheap CPU upgrades due to the cost of the chipset+CPU. It also often requires a different motherboard due to pinout differences so that adds cost.
