Well, for one, poor students wouldn't have to drop cash on a desktop IDE or a faster computer to develop it. Since my previous laptop broke, I've been working on a netbook for months (and got quite used to it), but have had to resort to campus computer labs if I have to do some Visual Studio, Delphi, or SQL Server work.
When my teachers learn that everything I turn in I do it in class, and not from home, they are genuinely surprised that I am able to do things well and on-time. With this, I can do some work on my netbook, download it at the labs, and keep working from there.
