I had this idea immediately when the devices were made available.  We are just finishing up a pilot project at my university's library to check out 20 Windows-based laptops to students. The service has proved to be very popular.  I suspect we'll test out the use of Chromebooks in the mix at some point.  Palo Alto is one to watch!
