It seems to me that, primarily because of the keyboard, that the XO is better suited to elementary schools. I think middle and high school students would find them difficult to type on.

It's something for educators to keep in mind.

I could not agree with you more. The XO is just for the primary school set. Perfect for them, kinda small for everyone else.

Right, the design criteria is ages 6 - 12 years old, for various reasons. Focusing and winning over this age group in our schools will be enough work, in itself!
