it's not what i expected. the monitor is the same size as one of those toddler laptop games, but it doesn't have a backlight like those so unless your home is brightly lit at night, i wouldn't let your child play it anytime after 5pm. my daughter is 4 and a half and this keeps her occupied for a while and has a lot of options, but i doubt it would impress a child over the age of 8. the "mouse" doesn't really function except as another way to hit "enter/return". you still have to use the left/right buttons on the round silver thing at the bottom to move around. the good thing though is that it's a full size qwerty keyboard so my daughter will be able to learn to type at an early age. it makes her feel like she almost has a grown up computer. if your child can not read yet, this item requires supervision as most of the games are designed for a fourth or fifth grader that can read and can navigate a computer.
Bought this for my 5 year old for his birthday and we dislike it very much. Would never buy again and would not recommend to a friend. The screen is very dark and almost impossible to read. The sound in inconsistent.....gets loud then very soft. Games are difficult to understand and play. Not all of the keys on the keyboard work. Same is true with the mouse, it does not work. DO NOT BUY, just a waste of money.
I have tried getting four grandchildren interested in this toy but to no avail. They just don't want to play with it. I am giving it to charity and hopefully some child will enjoy it.
totally false advertising. screen is about 4inches by 2 inches. the rest is plastic. Im surprized discovery kids would put there name on it. also the screen is almost unreadable.
The Discovery Kids Teach "n" Talk Exploration Laptops was giving to the kids in the family to stimulate their knowledge and give the mothers a break while the kids investigate, explore and learn.
Remember the Speak and Spell? I had one when I was a kid and it was a superior product to this. The screen isn't back lit, the graphics are hard to decipher, it is not user friendly. I'm VERY disappointed in this product. Money is better spent on a cheap checker board or a deck of cards. I expected more from a Discovery Kids product - especially considering the level of technology available.
I bought these for my very young grandchildren. Children as young as 2 are familiar with computers. I hope they enjoy these. You can't go wrong with any tool that aids in a child's learning.
My six year old granddaughter is having trouble in school with reading and spelling. This product is fun and educational for her. She loves it.
I purchased three of these for my children for Christmas. Out of the three, one works correctly. The keys don't work properly and then the two just stopped coming on altogether. I thought it may have been the batteries so I replaced them again and still nothing. I would definitely not recommend this to anyone.
This was a good gift but I really wish it came with screen lighting..... I have seen better.
