"That'd kind of a rude statement. Laptops are, as one example, for people who take notes in class."
Call me old fashioned, but I generally take notes on paper.

"They're also for people who are constantly on the road."
I think it's illegal in most states to be driving and computing at the same time. Seriously, though, most places you go will have computers for you to use. Do you really need it while you're traveling, too? Most don't.

There is certainly a time and a place for laptops. I only meant to suggest that it may not be for undergraduate studies in the sciences or engineering.
