Each iPad paired with a MacBook


Seton Hill University has promised iPads for every full-time student enrolled in fall 2010. The latest initiative expands the Greensburg, Pennsylvania school's Griffin Technology Advantage Program, which already supplies each student with a 13-inch MacBook.

Students will allegedly be able able to download textbooks through the iBookstore, or use the device for communication, file sharing, or note-taking, according to TUAW.

The Catholic school also provides servicing for Apple devices through its IT department. Students can even take a "loaner" MacBook while the personal machine is being repaired.
