    "The laptop market is about to be flooded with Chromebooks. Intel today announced that its processors will be used in 20 new products built with Google's web-based operating system later this year; Lenovo too announced its own forays into the category; and other manufacturers have started to support the devices as sales of traditional Windows-based PCs continue to fall. Chromebooks are getting a little less weird, and a little more like the netbooks they replaced."

      The title itself is quite striking - to be honest, if we had had iPads instead of laptops at school I would have been really frustrated typing up my assignments. BUT - the Apps they have can be absolutely fantastic!

      LOL - what is she thinking?
  • which had seen manufacturers take existing pricey laptops and downsize them into a cheaper and more portable form factor for lighter use.

      I wish! I can't see iPads/iPhones reading out life signs and healing us anytime soon.

      It is incredibly important that it be UNIVERSAL. To have only wealthy schools reaping the benefits of these 'critical tools' would not at all be equitable - something the Government and everyday Australians are striving for.

      I fear that they were just jumping on the bandwagon, and none of these ideas will ever come to fruition. It is 4 years afterall since the promise was made.

      Really?
  • Apple’s tablet never attempted to be a desktop PC.
  • changed the way we think about interacting with technology
  • Early trials of the iPad in educational institutions such as Melbourne residential college Trinity over the past year in Australia have starkly demonstrated the value of tablets in learning.
  • the ability to discover, share and annotate information, so critical in the educational context, is also incredible.
  • you have to give Labor a great deal of credit for being willing to invest so heavily in technology for students in the first place.
  • Had the politicians waited several years and spent its money on tablets instead, Australia’s education system would have been the envy of the entire world.
  • If you really want a netbook, add a Bluetooth keyboard to an iPad, as I did over the weekend.

      I have done this - and it is great!
  • s, there is no reason to suggest that something even bigger isn’t just around the corner.
  • If Steve Jobs’ team could destroy the netbook with one single product launch in only a year of sale
  • But we’re betting the iPad will stay around longer than most people would think
  • NSW has handed out 66,000 student laptops
