The Microsoft Surface RT was Microsoft's first commercially released ARM
Tablet.

The first tablet to run Microsoft Windows was released in 2001. This
tablet used an Intel chip.

For laptops that come with Win7, one has to purchase a license for
Windows 8, and Windows 7.

Depending upon the specific school, the required hardware and software
is more likely to be an iPad running iOS, or an an Android tablet
running Ice Cream Sandwich, Jelly Bean, or Key Lime Pie, than a
laptop/desktop.

AFAIK, both LibreOffice4Android and LibreOffice4iOS are still in alpha,
with a very long way to go, before being suitable for testing by
non-developers.
