I bought this computer for my 5 year old son who was very applicant to learn. I preferred this computer 6-9 years because longer in duration and having activities 120 (240 as they are all in English too) for a reasonable price. He uses it everyday and alternates learning and games. In addition, I have a so super cable for battery saving. The volume setting is fine: we go from very very low to very strong with lots of volume of intermediates. Purchase recommend learning and progressing very well with the child.
