Q: Does this have specific learn to type programs on it? If so how many of the 64 are learn typing specific?
submitted by Curious - 18 days ago
A: While this laptop doesn’t include a formal learn-to-type program, it does offer several activities that support typing practice. Multiple spelling games require the user to type out words, and there is also a ‘Notebook’ activity that allows free typing of paragraphs. These features help build familiarity with the keyboard through interactive play. Thank you

This never held my kids attention. Now it won't even turn on i thought it was the batteries not no. It's also hard to read the screen.

Momma3 - 1 month ago
Bought this earlier today. Put brand new batteries in the toy (Duracell), it's dead within 3 hours of partial play. My son was not interested in this at all, it's confusing, even for my 30 year old self to use. Would love to return it honestly but I threw the box out, this low budget laptop will probably be in the trash in the next couple days as well. Save your time, energy and money. Lesson learned on my end to look at reviews before purchasing. I'm sure this would've been the hottest toy in the 90s but as for today's time and era, it's very behind.

This laptop is very outdated. It was difficult for my daughter to navigate and she is pretty good at navigating technology. This laptop is definitely giving 1990s technology. No clear activities except for the memory game. Very disappointed.

Bree2119 - 4 months ago, Verified purchaser
The volume on this toy is so loud even at its lowest setting. I had to put tape over the speaker just to make it more manageable. The graphics are very pixelated. My child does enjoy the games for now but I do assume it will be short lived.

Kelsey - 4 months ago, Verified purchaser
There are a few things to know about this toy. 1) Your child really needs to be able to read to enjoy this toy. 2) Your child probably won’t like this toy if they already use a tablet. That being said, there are MANY parents who appreciate that tablet time is a huge issue for kids. I LOVE this toy because the screen is not super engaging, but it also gives real practice in using a computer. Meaning, the kid has to do some work to play with this toy. It’s not mindless tapping, bright colors, and dopamine release like a tablet. The keyboard is pretty legit, and there’s good content on the device.

BAD LIGHTING ON SCREEN - 4 months ago
This is the worst purchase I have ever made, and I intend to return it on the day after Christmas. I strongly advise against wasting your money on this product. Unfortunately, it lacks any lighting, resulting in a completely dark screen, which is utterly unacceptable.

This product is a complete waste of money. If I could give it NO STARS I would! The graphics, the sound and the "games" are VERY POOR QUALITY. It is very complicated and frustrating to use. This was a gift and EVERYONE in the family gave up trying to use it. DO NOT BUY. I cannot believe Target or FAO would sell this loser! Trash bin.

TwinMom - 7 months ago, Verified purchaser
My twins each bought one with their own birthday money. They had a fabulous 3 hours using the learning games. The batteries ran out and we replaced them... they wouldn’t turn on. So we purchased other batteries. Still nothing. Sadly after the initial run both laptops failed to turn on again. Will be returning.

I like that it had 65 different activities and games but the screen was small, black and white only and very hard to see. It was just too dark. Not easy to figure out how to use it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this product for my 5yr old. It’s educational and can help build on speech development. It’s durable and a decent size for travel purposes. It’s a good replacement for tablets and has different topics which can help entertain your child while also allowing them to learn. My only dislike is having to replace the battery. I wish it came with a charging port rather than having to replace batteries
Very cool learning you!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so excited when I received this. I knew my granddaughter would love it and I was correct. She plays with it every night after dinner. She even took it on vacation. It lasted hours while they were driving. She’s completely entertained while learning at the same time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s a cute toy very durable. It fell a few times. It’s kind of hard to navigate not as easy as it should be. Maybe when my son gets older. He’ll get better use out of it now it’s a little bit too complicated but I can see it being very educational.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids love playing with this. Got this last week and so far it’s super fun to play with and educational for kids as it has instructions on how to use. I think it’s a great alternative for kids to learn new things. 10/10 durability and battery life also seems to long lasting as well. I love how we can carry this around and the screen is moveable.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is great for kids. It's designed to mimic a real laptop with fun, interactive activities that engage and educate. The toy features colorful buttons and a clear screen that displays letters, numbers, and basic words. It's great for early learning and keeps my child entertained while teaching valuable skills like counting and spelling.
