We purchased this as a gift for a friend's 4 1/2 yr old son. A few weeks later, our children had the opportunity to use it at his house and they LOVED it. In fact, they had so much fun with the different games on it that they decided to buy one with their Christmas money. My 4 1/2 yr old son and 2 1/2 yr old daughter each can use it on their own and there are games for each of them that are developmentally appropriate. Re: its durability, the VTech notebook even stands up to my one year old's preoccupation with throwing it on the floor :-).

I bought this as a Christmas gift for my 5 year old son. He loved playing with it and he loved having us watch him play it. He took it to our family get together and my neice and nephew who are 4 and 7 also loved it. They would take turns playing the games and argue over who got to play with it next. I also have a daycare and the children all love taking turns with it. It is a little advanced for my 2 year olds with some of the games however, we seem to be able to find something for everyone. This was a good buy!

Screen size too discouraging. My 6 year old was so exited to have a toy computer. His first complaint was I hardly see what I'm doing. Does not realy like playing with it.

We bought this for our 2 years old. While she is too young for the reccomended age we wanted her to have a laptop to play like Mommy and Daddy and she does - she sits and messes with it. It has 30 games and right/left click buttons on the mouse so whatever she pushes makes a beep or something, mostly she messes with the volume and watched the monkey on the screen. When she is older she will get the intended use out of it but for now its as usefull as the fake cell phone, blackberry, keys and other kid PDA's.

My daughter likes it. It is an imitation of a computer and it is plastic. For under 20$ not so bad.
The only complains that I have are:
-the keybord goes: abcdefg-alfabetical order instead of qwerty one. I would prefer if it had qwerty so my kids can learn where the letters are in the real computer,
-you can't just write without sound-like notepad, I think they both would play with it more if there was an option to write,
Last one, this notebook has the same featueres that cheaper Vtech latop has it just looks more like grown-up computer.
I am happy with this purchase.

My 4-year-old grandson finds this fun for about five minutes, then goes on to something else. AS a former Early Childhood teacher, I have to say that I think the "computer" needs a larger screen, color, and an array of different exclamations instead of "wow"and "excellent" every time the child scores. It is however, sturdy, and somewhat easy to use [once an adult spends 30 minutes figuring it out :-)].

This is very cute. Got it for my 20 month old to distract from our laptops. It seems to be holding up well although I do wish the screen was a bit bigger and more well lit. The games are a bit advanced for him as I expected given the age rating on the product but it does work as a good substitution if he finds one of our laptops.

I ordered this for my little friend for her birthday. Her siblings use a laptop and this makes her feel like one of the big kids. My only complaint is that the screen itself was deceptive when I ordered, it is only 2 inches by 2 inches.

This product is good I bought two of them. The only thing is that is does not come with a A/C power adapter and it does not look exactely like it does in the picture.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS ITEM FOR IT HELPS A LOT FOR LEARNING KIDS. IT ENABLES THEM TO LEARN HOW TO READ, DISTINGUISH OBJECTS, THE ALPHABET.
