We are thinking about buying 12 or more laptops.

We've narrowed it down to 
RM nBook 4300
RM nBook 100
RM Mobile

I've got the details off the RM site.

Can't see much difference between the first 2.

Is anyone here using any of these at school?
Any drawbacks?

For shared use?  Don't!  Laptops are not at all robust.  Somebody at
College decided to buy some for use in classrooms where permanent
desktop PCs couldn't go.  The laptops were more expensive than
desktops, and trashed within a year.  PCs last four years plus.
