I feel that having laptops in class can be a very positive addition to a class. I've had students read back questions that I've stated verbally that they've keyed into their word processor, look up information and report back to the class, and even check out on-line resources in small groups. A colleague of mine has used laptops very effectively to conduct in-class polls (students responding to questions via Google docs or other applications) and to have students engage in web-based activities.
