VTech Grade School Learning Nitro Jr. Notebook, 4-7 Years

As a teacher, I am thrilled to find an exceptional educational toy and this is it. I purchased this for my son who has a learning disability and he took to this laptop immediately. After showing and playing with my son a few times, he was able to master the mouse and key board quickly. He enjoys the language arts lower level games the most. I appreciate that the laptop has more advanced games that he can grow into. The laptop speaks to the user by praising when achieving a high score or offering encouragement to continue when a low score is earned. There are five more programs included such as Math and Brain Teasers. I was hesitant to buy because of the concerns offered by others that there is no "back light" that will illuminate the screen. The screen is highly visible in regular room light. I encourage parents to play some of the games before giving it to a child so the adult can explain how the device and programs work.

I will first start by saying we have bought things like these in the past and know they are never really what you think they will be and so I didn't have big expectations. The screen is impossible to see and the noises and volume are terrible. I wish I could plug in headphones but since she can't really figure out how to play anything and I can't read it, its more of a mock, play computer she carries around and pretend plays. Definitely not worth money. I wish a company could come up with a functioning laptop for toddlers that looked like a grown-up laptop. If only I was a product invented and had a connection in China, oh, the money I could make!

I bought this for my daughter and she loves it. Design is good except for the screen. Screen is small, but for the price it is acceptable.

I'm disappointed because the screen does not light up! So you need to make sure that the child sits somewhere with good light, otherwise they wont see anything. My daughter loves to play with it, but no light-up screen takes a lot from this toy

My nearly three years old loves it, screen is too small and its not color screen, but she is getting hang of it. 1980s video game style screen.

I got this for my 1 1/2 year old twin boys and they love it, have lots of fun and is helping their fast learning process.

We bought this toy to take on a car trip for our 5 year old. We didn't even bring it because the lowest volume is so loud and the sounds are annoying. My husband couldn't stand to have it in the car. We couldn't even put headphones or anything in it because there is no way to put them into the laptop. The games my son plays on the laptop don't really teach him anything although there are ones on there that do. The kids love the way you move the things around and although they wanted a mouse like our computer, they find this laptop easier to use. The screen is also very dark and hard to see sometimes. The contrast once again is hardly noticeable with the contrast button. If they would fix the sound and screen, it wouldn't be too bad of a toy.

The screen is so hard to see anything on it!
