I haven't tried any of the above, so that's as far as I go! Love and More Love, Grinity Coaching available, at SchoolSuccessSolutions.com

I don't know how good it is compared to other types, but the assistive tech at school told me they're very durable and easy to fix when they do get broken. They also run a long time on their batteries. My understanding is when the kids get to middle school, they may have to switch to a laptop because they run out of memory on the Neo.
