Smaller sizes are available. At current these screens are not suitable for primary education due to their price & lack of being able to bring anything new to the users interface.

Who will win, 3d or curved? My moneys on interactive 3d screens for the workplace and curved for gamers/home. Hrm, curved 3d touch screen.. Drool…
