Students spend 40 hours a week on their laptops - for coursework, classes, and gaming

Nearly two-thirds of students say they couldn't live without their laptop – spending 40 hours a week using it for coursework, Zoom classes, video games, and social media.

Hard-working college or university students spend seven hours of their weekly laptop time getting on with coursework, and a further six hours using it for Zoom classes or lectures.
