Huge waste of MONEY!!!!! by Brian Graff
This is a huge waste of money!! The screen is tiny, only about an inch, and the sound is distorted!!! I should have known better because the computer itself was small!! Please spend your money on something AMERICAN MADE!!!!

Overall nice by Lala
This toy is very pretty & the few games it has are nice. The screen is waaaaaaaay too small, doesn’t light up & wouldn’t have held my daughter’s attention. She’ll be turning 4 in a couple of weeks & I didn’t want to waste her time so I returned it the day after receiving it. The games are age appropriate but my daughter is pretty intelligent for her age & would have gotten very bored too quickly with it. Also, b/c it’s not a QWERTY keyboard (she’s used to the real keyboard and knows where most of the letters are), she wouldn’t have liked it very much. Overall, it is a nice educational toy, but I think it would be better to buy a laptop that (firstly) has a bigger screen that lights up & would challenge a child and keep their interest longer than a few days.

Small can be good too by C. Gresham
I just bought this in a store, so I was well aware that it was small. It’s actually nice to be able to stick it in my purse or diaper bag if necessary, or to keep handy in the car. My daughter is 2-1/2 and enjoys it, wth no apparent problems or frustration at finding the numbers. (Remember, just because adults are confused doesn’t mean that a kid is!)

Beware! This is a very, very small laptop! by 1busymommyof2
I just purchased this laptop for my 2 year-old at Target after seeing it on amazon.com. I was shocked at how small it is. It is really no more than 7 inches wide. The screen on the inside is probably about an inch and a half wide. The sound quality is very good, although there is no volume control and it is loud. The songs of course are very sweet and Barbie sounds exactly like she does in the movie. The numbers are hard to find, they are located in the peacock feathers and I was looking all over for them! I am going to take this toy back to Target. My daughter has been asking for a computer, but I think for her age she needs something bigger, with easier to find numbers.
