Our district went all iPads and they make decent paperweights at the high school level.The teachers find them restrictive, the students find them frustrating. They are not useful for research or typing up material. The printers never seem to connect. Most textbook sites seem to use flash, making them incompatible.
The high schools all asked for Chromebooks (which were ~$100 cheaper) but were turned down by the school board (the self declared tech guru on it is a fanboy).
I'll admit a great deal of the frustration is because the iPads were dumped on the staff in two days with minimal training. So the first time there is an issue, it got set down and never picked back up.
