Summary: age range wrong!
Comment: ok, this is a really great and cute learning toy, but the age recommendation says 3-7yr old. It is wayyyyy more appropiate for the 18 mo. to 3yr old. most 4 yr olds already know the alphabet and letter sounds, and a 7 yr old would definitely find it boring and babyish!

Summary: She loves it, but...
Comment: "Santa" brought this for my 2-year-old daughter in 2007, and she loved it immediately. She uses her laptop daily sitting next to me as I use mine, which was the plan. However, after about 6 months the keys became less responsive & after 7 months they did not respond at all. So, my daughter turns on her favorite toy and tells us over and over "it's broken, fix it." I have had no luck contacting FisherPrice. "Santa" will be bringing her a different brand laptop this year.

Summary: Great learning toy! My son loves it!
Comment: Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2SL6O5YUF30X9 My son is 22 months and he ABSOLUTELY LOVES this laptop! He says it is his "puter" and he loves to carry it around with him. I like it because it's easy to travel with and we often take it to restaurants. It is durable, simple for him to operate, and he can now recognize letters Aa, Bb, Kk, Mm, Oo, Xx, and Zz (see video)! It's a bit expensive, but watch for sales. I found ours in August on Amazon.com for just under $20!

Summary: Also fun for young kids!
Comment: I was looking for a laptop for my 14m old, since he likes panels with screens and buttons. Most of the laptops for < 2y olds are just silly buttons with some sounds and lights, far from real laptops. So I went to our local Kmart and tested several of laptops for older kids.

Although they are all marked as 3+, they do show different education levels. Some of the laptops require knowledge of counting, comparing, spelling, and finding, which are certainly too advanced for my 14m old. However, this Laughtop has certain options for younger kids; in other words, you don't really need to understand it to be able to make things happen. My son mostly plays with the "letters" option ---e.g., pressing the key "L" initiats the pronunciation and the word "Lion", then an animation of a lion appears on the screen and "roars". He also enjoys watching me playing other games.

With time passing by, he's more and more engaged with this toy and less with others.

Summary: Great for electronics-loving kids
Comment: My son is only 1, but he is obsessed with computers, cell phones, remote controls, etc. We bought this to see if he would play while we used our laptops (he freaks out and wants to bang on the keyboards of our REAL computers...) He loves the laughtop, but it didn't divert him from wanting ours! Good toy overall, though. I also looked at a few with the detached mouse, but since my boy likes to chew on everything, I figured this brand would be better for him.
