Laptops do not seem to have an improvement on students education or learning process. A survey was brought up by teachers and parents that 0ne-fifth of students hardly or never used their laptops for learning programs or research. also, school districts were noticing they were spending more money repairing the laptops then actually teaching students or teachers how to use them. So in conclusion laptops show no progress in test scores or homework.
