However, this is school. They cant give you anything that will distract you or other students. A laptop would be a disaster. Laptop's can be loaded with a ton of games and other entertainment only apps. The Dana is rather limited and does perfectly what it was intended.
Having a device I can plug in at night and it runs the whole day without needed a recharge is nice compared to a laptop since I may end up sitting in the middle of a room, or in a room with no free outlets.
We have laptops at my house I could have used. But if I did that, I would only be tempted to make my school matters worse.
I have severe problems with writing [think kinder gardener level] to the point that the local school district has issued me an electronic aid to keep my notes on and do some assignments. Without this I could never finish taking notes in time and be legible. Now I can be done before most people are half way finished since I am able to type faster then I can write.

Though the device I use is a glorified palm pilot with wifi and a full size keyboard it is still better for me then using a pencil. http://www2.alphasmart.com/products/dana-w.html
