A few things to know before you buy: 1. The screen is tiny, which may not bother your child, but you will not have an easy time learning how to use it yourself. Which brings me to... 2. It is not easy to use, don't expect your child to figure it out on their own! 3. The graphics are terrible, which, in addition to the tiny screen display makes learning to use it that much harder. 4. No color! 5. No backlight on the screen, at all! Because of all of this... #6. My daughter (5yrs + 4mo old) had not intrest in this toy at all. She is very bright and knows how to use our personal computer, that may be why this was so dissapointing to her. We are sending it back and she is not upset at all! There are many, much better products out there for learning games. Don't waste your money on this one! I should have just bought her a learning game for our computer, and that is probably what I will do to replace this gift for her.

We bought this for our 5 year old for Christmas, she is very into computers, leapsters, iphones, etc. While the laptop is very "realistic" with the keyboard and mouse, the screen is tiny and the graphics are corny. So far she doesn't seem to mind, we will see how long it holds her interest. Not bad for the price.

This toy is great for expanding a child's learning limits. They find it very fun and enjoyable. The kids will likely want to play with it everyday, which is actually a good thing once they are done with homework. It helps to expand and further explain and give practice on what they are learning in school and even put them in front of all the other kids by educating them ahead of their age.
