Laptops vs. Textbooks

There was an article on Edutopia asking about a poll on whether laptops should replace textbooks.  If it was up to me I would say yes.  If all students had the capability to get their hands on a laptop for daily use I feel they would be more beneficial than textbooks because textbooks become so outdated quickly.  Right now we do not have a math book in our school, we create our own lessons that fit the GLEC's and our curriculum and incorporate areas in everday life where math would appear, we try and relate it to their lives.  Then we also use technology to enhance their understanding of material, but if everyone had a laptop instead of a book I think we would be further ahead of the game and moving forward in the right direction for these students future.  Also for English we hardly use our textbooks, but we could use the laptops to download e-books for free and students could be up to date with newer reading material that fits in with our genre units, that would be outstanding.  What are your thoughts on laptops vs. textbooks??
