Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Product Description
As players explore games in Science World (match the animal to its shadow), Word Zone (spell the word to help the puppy cross the river), Creative Studio (create a musical masterpiece), and more, an artificial intelligence tool tracks their progress, automatically upping the challenge quotient as their skills progress. Two bonus cartridges (Story Time and Sing-Along) take kids still deeper into their journey of knowledge. This is a terrific way to improve school skills at home. Three AA batteries or 9V 300mA adaptor required (not included). (Demo batteries included.) --Emilie Coulter

Customer Reviews
not for up to age 11
I bought this for a 9 year old, but this laptop is definitely for a younger age...even thought it is marketed for 5-11. I would say 5 to 7 max.
Granddaughter Loves It!
I purchased this for my granddaughter's 6th birthday over a month ago. She plays with it everyday and brings it with her instead of her gameboy. She really enjoys learning with it.
Night vision
We were excited to give this to our 5 year old for his birthday. After opening he loved the design and having his own cool looking notebook computer and was very excitied. However the screen is very disappointing. I can't even rate the games because overall I simply just can't see what is on it. The product is relatively useless in a dark environment and dissapointing. I should have gone to a toys r us and actually compared the product to other simular products. I would suggest anyone do the same prior to buying it.
