RESEARCH!
Studies have shown time and time again that using physical books is the best way for students to retain knowledge, stay on task, and actually comprehend what they are reading. Screens do not always allow students the focus that books offer. Chrome books are great, but sometimes it's easier to use desktops for real research. The larger screens make it easier for students to engage, and it has been found that navigating on the larger screen is easier for those doing research.
