Cheap VTech Grade School Learning Nitro Web Notebook Pink

Customer Ratings:

I got this notebook as a gift for my daughter's 4th birthday. She likes it a lot and spends time with it for quite a long stretch. I find it as a very educational, fun learning tool for budding learners. Good one.

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.

The software is so very 1980's that it's laughable (until the screaming starts) when you realize as the unit barks commands at you that you cannot mute it: you have 2 levels of volume controlLoud and a Little Less Loud but still freakin' annoying. I wanted to give my very bright little 4 year old daughter her own "little computer" to play with. She has fun on Daddy's big computer and with very little help can point and click with the mouse and is learning to use the arrow keys to manipulate cute characters on age appropriate web sites (Mickey Mouse Club House,etc..) and in K-1st grade software on our hardrive. I thought this product might get her OFF my comp and engaged and learning but alas... It was not to be. The unit LOOKS good but do NOT be fooled as I was!

Honest reviews on VTech Grade School Learning Nitro Web Notebook Pink

I must sayif it were not for the fact that my daughter specifically asked for this I would never have bought this.

But it's cute and it keeps her occupied.

I did not realize from the description that it took extra cartridges to do different games. Granted it did come with two carts, but I'm not a big fan of having to buy carts to play keep their interest. That is my biggest complaint.

I read the other reviews and they listed complaints that you are going to find on any kids computer. The screens are darker and small...they ALL are. So far my 6 year old daughter really likes the computer and so do I. The voice guy is really nice and encouraging, and honestly that is more then I can say for other kids computers I have owned. The lap top itself is nice and sleek, my daughter was so excited because it looks like a "big girl" computer and not the "baby" one, her 3 year old brother has (also a v-tech...the tote 'n go lap top.) The computer is wonderful for what we bought it for....long car rides. She only uses it then so, she does not get tired of it. Overall I am very happy with my buy and grateful that I found something educational and not a gaming system.
