Cindy, I am not sure about neooffice, but you can purchase the iWork applications for $10 each. The apps are Keynote - presentations, Pages - word processing/documents, and Numbers - tables/charts/spreadsheets. I looked into purchasing iPads and a cart to house them from Apple for a grant proposal. A class set of 25 - with power cords and camera connectors for each as well as 2 connectors for whole group presentations - ran a little over $19,000.

Power points? I would want to be able to do that so they could be used within the classroom. I would move towards them since Apple seems bent on pricing schools out of their market. We are an all Mac school and I was quoted $1100 each for their basic laptop for a mobile lab.
