"A buzz going around the school"...

Well duh! What do you expect a school full of kids to do when faced with the prospect of getting a free PSP...

However, surely a laptop (either second hand 500-700Mhz Pentium 3's or some sort of OLPC type thing) would be far more effective for a similar price.

Unless said laptop is one of those old Sony laptops that ran on Transmeta processors (predecessor to their TR/TX series of laptop) that won't work very well. I already thought that the iBooks were too much to carry around- who knows about an old, enormous laptop (I have one of those "500-700MHz PIII laptops- it's a PITA to carry in a laptop bag). Or they could work out something with Panasonic to get in those Words Gear e-book readers (probably easier on the eyes, and no possibility of playing games on them) but there is a language barrier involved there.
