Laptops/Tablets
If netbooks are too fragile for work at your school, think about One2OneMate’s StudentMate mini notebook. Practically indestructible, the StudentMate has a full-size keyboard, 7-inch touch-sensitive color screen and a pair of USB ports. It runs on Linux, comes with a slew of school software and has a full-day battery, so kids can concentrate on learning and ignore the battery icon. The best part is that the company provides a five-year warranty, compared to 1 year of coverage that’s generally provided with a netbook. It costs $300 and can be ordered with a cart for sharing it among classrooms.
