EFB Class I ,CF-18 Toughbook laptop

Dear All
Any chance to now among pilots who are using the CF-18 toughbook laptop as EFB class 1 in their fleets .
at moment i know that Emirates and EasyJet, have this model on duty .
I apreciate some feedback in issues like:
-user -friendly ( Jepp Flightdeck)
-we need keep paper charts as backup?
-What about the toff and app briefing with the laptop open
- The laptop should be stowed during toff and landing but the crews still use airport sids stars and app charts or not? Or flying FMS with no charts at all ( what about if we must fly raw data because the airport aren t in database?)

During OPC or LPC the crews are training (EFB Class 1) SOPs with items like rwy change, enroute alternate, alternate?
And at last what is the overall opinion from airliner pilots and EFB class 1 and this specific model CF-.18
Thanks
