A:Answer Well, it would be great for school, but, depending on the age of the student and school grade, it may be overkill. Certainly, it's more than an elementary or high school student needs, whereas secondary school students would be very well served. Personally, if I had a primary school-age kid, I wouldn't spend this much money on a machine that will likely get dropped, banged around, or stolen.
One of the less-expensive machines target at the educational market would be more rugged and drop-resistant, and less of a heartache if it was lost/stolen/broken.
