Apple, Maine Department of Education working to swap 'toy' iPads for MacBooks
I agree. For students, a laptop is a far better choice than a tablet. Even as good as a tablet an iPad is, it simply cannot do what a student needs to get the job done.
When studying using a computer to do research, one needs to multitask between different apps - e.g. a word processor, a web browser, a data-storage/note-taking app, and others. You also have to store files and organize them. This multitasking is not easily done on an iPad. It doesn't have windows for apps you can easily switch back and forth. It doesn't give you access to a file system.
For anything other than drawing, a laptop is far superior to and far more versatile than a tablet.
For teaching computer science, an iPad is worthless since you cannot program on it like a Mac. And computer science is a necessary skill these days.
