No.1 She is pretty adamant she wants mouse buttons on the touchpad rather than as completely flat pad that most have these days. This seems to rule out 95% of options
No.2 she has only just spotted that 14″ laptops don’t have a separate numpad so she is umming ahhing about that.
Theres a couple of possible cosiderations there..
1a. You're going to want a seperate mouse regardless, even if it's one of those mini laptop/travel ones - they are just so much better.
1b. As above, 99% of the time the left/right click buttons are integrated into the touch pad, just seem to be they way thigs are these days.
2.a There are a few options here, you can buy a seperate USB number pad gor not much - good if you are doing a lot of numbers, accounting or spreadsheets etc, but it is an extra thing to carry around, something like this maybe (not a reccomendation, just an example) https://www.onbuy.com/gb/p/bluetooth-wireless-numeric-keypad~p59317966/?exta=gshp&extac=gshpfa
2.b Another option is to get a laptop like mine which has a touch sensitive numpad built into the trackpad that you can turn on and off, its quite nifty. You can also flip it round to use as a tablet as it has a touch screen:
This might be a misunderstanding, did you mean one per individual or one per table cluster?
University lecture theatres don't have table clusters, or at least the ones I visited didn't. They have rows of seats like a cinema with some form of flat surface in front, each seat with its own individual power provisioning.
I went round my old high school on an open day a few weeks ago. They call themselves a "technology college" these days but it's still a high school. They had fully-fitted IT suites with dozens of desktop PCs. What provision or even requirement they had for laptops in regular classrooms I couldn't say.
You seem very keen to challenge me at the moment for some reason, but I'm afraid you're operating from out-of-date knowledge. It's not the 1990s anymore, someone has actually thought about this. You don't need a separate charger for your phone even (which is what I thought you might be getting at), you can charge directly from the laptop and USB-C <-> USB-C power delivery is likely as fast as any wall charger.
