Here here, as an educator who teaches in a computer lab every day, I have found that I must have the kids turn off their monitors during some instructional time. Kids highly overestimate their own abilities to "multitask". Another issue is that the kids that have laptops feel as if the faculty have less jurisdiction over how they use them as opposed to the desktops about campus.
