possibly more frequent, given their mobile (and droppable) nature. Also,
as a Mac school that uses network home directories, implementing this on a
laptop cart is a bit more complex. Not to mention that no (affordable)
laptop is going to equal the screen size or CPU power of a good desktop
when it comes to doing any media work - movies, photo editing, drawing,
etc.
Even with all that in mind, I wish I had a cart or two to supplement our
labs. I know teachers would use them frequently!
