Think about PG's essay "disconnecting distraction" and the copycat essays that followed. These clearly show that a computer to most is more of a distraction than a resource when it comes to learning. The only reason many on this forum can't part with a computer is because that is their source of income. PG also mentioned having a work computer and an internet computer. His point was there are distractions and they must be dealt with. Not that the computer is a distraction. On top of this, an essay from PG along with some copycats is not proof. Anecdotes is not plural for data. I just don't see the connection between academic success and owning a laptop. A fair point but this depends on the field of study.
