Though this is highly individualistic. I have a 17-inch, 7-pound notebook, and wouldn't at all mind a larger screen. This notebook's screen is 8.5x15 inches, which is annoyingly short in landscape mode. I've often thought 9x16 inches would be a good tablet size, and maybe two 9x12 screens if dual.
On weight, some googling suggests textbooks run about four pounds, give or take, so a 5.5 pound unit would easily win out over the two or three textbooks one usually has to lug between classes and between school and home.
I don't think something like this would be inexpensive enough or sturdy enough for schools, but the size and weight aren't terribly out of the realm of reasonable.
