The original mixes past perfect 'had been using' with time expression 'since' and includes unnecessary words. Use present perfect continuous 'have been using' to express an action that began in the past and continues. Remove redundant 'from' and use possessive 'my hands' and parallel nouns 'write homework and take notes'. Suggestions: use 'since' with present perfect/present perfect continuous and keep sentence concise.'

✓ But nowadays, as students we have to use laptops, and typing is easier and faster, so I prefer typing.
Mismatch between singular/plural: 'a student' with 'we' and 'laptop' singular. Make subjects consistent: use plural 'students' and 'laptops' to match 'we'. Also add comma before conjunction and remove filler words. Suggestions: ensure pronouns and nouns agree in number.'
× Oil. I have my own laptop so I regularly use my laptop to type or to make any presentation on it.
✓ Oh, I have my own laptop, so I regularly use it to type or create presentations.
'Oil' is likely 'Oh' (interjection). 'Make any presentation on it' is awkward; use 'create presentations' and replace repetitive 'my laptop' with pronoun 'it'. Also add comma after introductory clause. Suggestions: avoid repetition and choose natural prepositions/verbs like 'create' rather than 'make on it'.'
× I also use my laptop for the entertainment, entertainment videos, movies and other video calls.
✓ I also use my laptop for entertainment, such as videos, movies, and video calls.

Use 'there were' (plural) not 'there was' before 'classes'. The clause 'so we have so we can' is redundant and mixes tenses; use past tense 'could' to match 'When I was a child'. Remove duplicate 'typing'. Suggestions: keep tense consistent within the sentence and correct subject-verb agreement for 'classes'.'
× I think the more you type on your computer, the more you can be better at it.
✓ I think the more you type on your computer, the better you will become at it.
