For day to day classroom use MacBooks are pretty hard to
beat. Everything you could need is built in, including a
videocamera. In terms of durability I find Apple products
really do last. Even when being used by students. We still
have a very old iMac running the original OSX which is still
being used!

MacBooks also have magsafe which means they don't get pulled
onto the floor when you trip over the lead!

Hope this helps
