  • without a normal mouse it is very annoying
  • the pupils can use them for their own interests also in the lesson
  • not good for the eyes, to look the whole day on a screen
  • electromagnetic pollution is very bad for your health

2. In subjects:

  • where you have to write essays or other articles (e.g. German)

  • it's too expensive for the emerging markets
  • if the governments won't support the people to finance the laptops they won't able to handle the costs
