Well the high school that I am at now requires a laptop as well, but they only have one option available. Take it or leave the school was the policy. I can see from the standpoint of the administrators and tech guys to have the same computers. It makes things a whole lot easier especially when it comes to troubleshooting (ie. one kid has the exact same problem as another, you already know what it is). Happened a lot with our IBM Thinkpad R40's and a lot of the time they already knew what was wrong because someone else had the same problem. When you start mixing in brands/software/processors/memory it would be a major headache for the techies.
