Prior studies have primarily focused on students’ capacity for multitasking and distraction when using laptops.

I prefer to not multi-task at all and just pay attention.

From the study linked:

The studies we report here show that laptop use can negatively affect performance on educational assessments, even—or perhaps especially—when the computer is used for its intended function of easier note taking.
