Do you know your daughter? That's about the only thing that matters in figuring that one out.

I got mine late in my senior year of undergrad, and quickly became addicted. While i do use it for distraction at times, the major use i had for it was working away from my room. I had mostly done work in my dorm for the first three years, but with major projects and better friendship with my roomie, it wasn't as productive there as i needed it to be.

i now take all my notes that way (my handwriting is simply terrible, and this saves me a lot of trouble when reviewing) and use it to work and email between classes. being at a place with WIFI makes a huge difference...i don't think i'd use it half as much if that wasn't there.

here at divinity school, it's pretty popular. in my old testatment lecture (one of the largest classes at the school) there are about 1/3 laptop users. smaller classes often less so. but i've gotten a lot out of having all my work at my fingertips when in class...i can look up pdfs, fact check before i raise my hand, or consult a paper i've written previously.
