1.0 out of 5 stars Don't Waster Your Money, December 6, 2009

Don't waste your money on this one. The activities are hard to figure out, however they are fun if you can figure them out. It would be easier to figure out the activities if you could see them. It is very hard to see what is on the screen. It is easier to see if you are in a very bright room with no shades or curtains and the sun is out. But sit by the window so you can see the screen. It has a button to brighten up the screen, but even at its highest point it is very hard to see. If the activities could be seen better on the screen I would have rated this a five star.

In all, if you want your children to play with something so they dont want to play on yours, this might be something you can give them. For, maybe all of 10 mins! This laptop is recommended for the 6+ age group. But that age group wouldnt go near this if they've even seen a regular laptop or even a good smartphone these days! Still it might be good enough for DD who is just 13 months and has been tearing to have a go at ours for a couple of months now. The keyboard looks like a full size qwerty and has the handfeel of a regular laptops, but like the previous reviewer mentioned, the biggest letdown is the screen. You almost have to have your nose up against the screen to see anything! [...]

1.0 out of 5 stars A Huge Disappointment, January 26, 2010

Extremely difficult to navigate (for me too). Doesn't work right, ex. there is a stopwatch and it will get stuck at say 5 sec for a long time. Almost every game does something like this.
