Do people use very small laptops for breaking rules like cheating, or playing games in class?

There maybe some people who use very small laptop to cheat on a test by secretly hiding it under a desk to use math programs to solve difficult math questions, and use the internet to look up answers.

Small cheap laptops may also be used to play games under their desk or behind a pile of books and school supplies when in class. Some workplaces may have workers who use these small laptops to play games under their desk, or in an empty hallway or room.

Unfortunately, there maybe some people who use these small laptops to record people's voice or room without their permission by hiding the laptop in a box, and cutting out a few small holes for a mic and webcam.

That's too small though, with the time you had to spend trying to focus on the screen to make out what it displays the teacher will notice something is up.

Students can make the text's font size very large, or make a powerpoint slideshow which uses large text and displayed in full screen.

There are also ways to autoscroll large text by using a scrolling text screen saver program which scroll large text horizontally or vertically.

Sometimes students just need to look up a math formula, a few line of code if they are having a computer programming test, or a word's definition.

But, I think some teachers will know you are cheating when you are looking away from your test papers, and your hands are under your desk.

Teachers are getting pretty wise these days to tech, which if you really want to cheat go back to the old methods (small slips of paper, writing on your hand) since they are looking for tech and not old methods.

There are small fidget spinner phones with small screens, and tiny buttons so students may buy a fidget spinner phone and load it up with answers.

But, fidget spinners are banned or not as popular, so playing with one during tests may make the teacher look at you.

unless the student can prove they need it to take the test.

This is true. I think a doctor's note is needed to prove that a Fidget Spinner helps with test taking.

I think electronic fidget spinners are most likely banned since some of them can display text on a digital display when you spin them, and some of them even contain tiny speakers where you can hear the answers being played back on an audio file.
