Because of my learning difficulties I am entitled to have a laptop to help me take notes in lessons, and to do my coursework at college. I have a lot of trouble writing quickly or for more than 2 minutes. I also have appalling hand writing.
Thing is I am worried that I will break it (I have to return it at the end of my course) and another part of my disability means I lose things, so thats a worry too. Plus I have 45 minutes to travel everyday and I am physically very weak so it might be hard to carry it?
opinions, advice please?

See if they have a small model of laptop that is cheap/light/tough. I know ASUS used to make them like that.

you could always just try it out and then say it's not working and give i back...or couldn't you just keep hold of it in class until you need to take it home or something.
