Utilizing laptops in college versus old fashioned pencil & paper

<p>On a related note, we’re trying to decide what size laptop is appropriate for the occasional in-class note-taking. Son says he will take notes on it, but we fear he may be on Facebook! So, we want something that he would only take if he really can benefit from it!</p>

<p>So, we’re thinking a 15.6" laptop is about right.
Does this logic make sense?</p>
