(More customer reviews)Kids love toys that enable them to emulate you. Hunter-gatherer children learn to hunt and gather by playing games that simulate their parents' main activities. When I grew up, girls played with dolls and tea sets while boys played with guns. Our mothers raised children and entertained from their kitchens while our fathers made the world safe for democracy from the business end of weaponry.
Today's kids grow up getting Latte's instead of ice cream cones as rewards and they watch their parents interact with digital intelligence. Can you wonder why giving one of them a toy computer keeps them busy and delighted for hours on end?
The unit is sturdy and attractive, especially for the feminine side. It has just enough variety of application to keep the user fascinated. Think about that. You have a much more sophisticated notebook, but how many applications do you actually use over and over again?
I made one mistake when I bought this for my granddaughter who is just beginning kindergarten. I should have bought two of them, because her three year old sister is way too left out when it's face to the screen time. This is a toy meant for personal interaction. It can't be shared like a television or a play station. The user will ignore all around them as she becomes engrossed (sound familiar?) So, if you have more than one preschooler, you're better off with more than one VTech Nitro.

VTech Grade School Learning Nitro Web Notebook PinkYoungsters will love whipping out this very grownup-looking laptop for a little educational fun! With 80 activities in such skills as language, math, Spanish, social studies, reading, art, and music, the Nitro Notebook packs a true academic punch. The sleek blue computer looks like a standard laptop on the outside, complete with mouse and pad, but features developmentally appropriate games for kids six and older.
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
