I've never tried doing it while participating in a round, paper works much better in my opinion.
heres what I heard from Mike burshteyn (CPS A, won a couple rounds at the TOC, also the friend of one of my classmates [what a privelege to know such a great debater]) about flowing on the laptop:
(copied and pasted from c-x.com)
"it's cool because every speech i give becomes blox for the future, i have intelligence on every round effortlessly, and i can cut/paste cards and blocks INTO my flows, making speeches a lot less messy. and i type faster and more neatly than i write..."
I find that in more higher levels, the judges don't care, or prefer people to give their speeches from their seats (last time i watched him, he went to the podium for his speeches). So upper tier debaters don't really run into the problem of moving around their laptop.
