Hard for young ones to navigate.
By H. Fenton
I own the princess carriage and the princess magic wand laptops by Vtech. My friend's 3 yr old son loved playing with them so she bought him this for his birthday. She is very dissappointed, and so is he. He trys to trade my girls for theirs. It is sturdy, but the wheel/mouse does not stay in place very well, it does not have a handle for carrying and while playing the games, the child has to type the answer and then hit enter each time. So, when compared to the princess version this one is not as fun. With the princess version all you have to to do is touch the screen with the wand or type the answer and it automatically responds. I am sure that an older child may enjoy the activities and be able to navigate through the games better. I would like to see one more like the princess one with a gender neutral theme.

Love this laptop!
By hoofhearted
I bought this laptop for my 4 year old son for Christmas & I can't believe how much he loves it. He can play almost all of the games (some of the math games go into adding up double digits-we're not quite there yet). And the best part is how he can do it all himself. He feels like such a big boy that he can turn it on, pick a game & complete it by himself. And there are quite a few games for him to chose from which is nice. A couple of people felt it needed a handle. I don't think it does. It folds nice & flat & he can carry it under his arm (and believe me-it goes everywhere). And we've never had a problem with the mouse/wheel not staying on or being too difficult to put back on. Overall I really like this toy & would recommend it to anyone.

Not as wonderful as I had hoped, but still really good.
By Lydia Dulin
It is a good toy. My son enjoys it. Not as much as I thought he would. It has a qwerty keyboard, which I can see would be of educational value for a child of around 6. But for a child still learning his ABC's in the order they are supposed to be, it can be a bit confusing. The screen is really small, but it can be dimmed or brightened, which I thought was cool. My son is almost 4. He doesn't quite get the activities yet, but it does make some noise, which he likes.... alot... Overall it is not a bad toy, but I wish I would have saved a bit more so I can by him one with a bigger screen and a an alphabetical keyboard. As a toy, and just a toy, it is excellent, as far as educational, I think it is a bit confusing. At least for my child who is not quite four, but still very bright. Also, in the activities it doesn't really give you instruction... it tells you what to do but not how to do it. For example it would say move the car this way, but not how to move the car. I hope that makes sense. It is a good fun toy, but I do think it can be improved on a bit.
