We have 28 laptops on carts that gets used in our elementary and middle school. We have installed 4 Xirrus arrays in the buildings so we can connect wireless anywhere but the custodian room in the basement. We do use the laptop for testing with the students and have not had a connection problem.
We leased the laptops for 3 years and are currently in the 2nd year. When we leased we moved to a larger battery so the laptops can run all day without having to be plugged in. Our carts also get abused some...laptops not plugged in, cords hanging out and laptops not put away. We do have teachers scheduled (supposedly) to check the carts every nite...but it doesnt alway happen.
