All students should have to purchase a laptop

Laptops are beneficial because of the technological tools they allow with their portability. They are becoming more prevalent for home use, but several schools are starting to combine them into their classrooms. Numerous benefits are for students using laptops, including more effective and accurate note-taking, faster work and editing, and comfortable group work and study. Laptops offer these benefits to students no matter what their class or age.

Taking notes by hand can be a time-consuming process. When students have laptops, they can copy their notes instantly into a document. Online note-taking is both faster and more flexible. Digital note-taking enables students to automatically index and arrange their study material, a quick search for data by keyword, and share with others.
