You mean like one of these?

Most tablets nowadays get 8-10 hours of battery life under moderate use. The only times I can think of where more longevity would be helpful is camping or on international flights.

This. Maxima on a netbook mostly replaced my HP48 during some calc courses I took a couple of years ago.

Always fighting for the users.

Nobody's pointed out the oft-reported decline in creativity that comes with some of these treatments. Those perturbations in linear thought processes aren't always bad...

Not all US public education is bad... In 11th grade we had Computer Science I which was in intro to programming with Pascal, working from Hello World to drawing graphics and very basic algorithms. In 12th we had Computer Science II which was taught mostly in C with a diversion into x86 assembly, covered search and sort algorithms, and data structures focusing on linked lists. We used Borland Turbo tools which had a great IDE complete with built-in language reference. Classes were about 1/3 instruction and the rest lab time for doing the assignments, quizzes, and playing around.

All this in Texas (Richardson ISD), which doesn't have such a good rep for education these days...
