Maybe I got brainwashed by their video, but I indeed think that a laptop like the Dell Latitude 13 (http://youtu.be/rq5dqKWymP8 http://youtu.be/rq5dqKWymP8) is much better than a tablet. There is a keyboard, a network activity light on the back of the screen, removable battery, spill resistance, compatible with the Dell Mobile Computing Cart to store and charge them, the laptop can open flat and has a touchscreen so it can do all what a windows table can, 8H battery life, USB ports, they claim that it's sturdy. But most important, there is a keyboard! And with the new features of windows 8 where you can reset the computer with factory settings with or without keeping your data, that's good, but still not as good as not being able to have any software problem like on an iPad. I really like the network indicator on the back so that the student is immediately spotted when going online, nice idea.
