Our then 5 year old daughter got the laptop for Christmas. Was one of our criteria, it should be a screen with color and that you can hear the letters as sounds. Our daughter comes with the laptop works very well. You can play games with it or even just learning. The program is promoted to the stage and becomes more difficult when it notices that the child no longer has to make an effort. Our daughter is now for a few months to school. Now playing less games but is more interested in the characters. One has to hear sounds and composed of individual letters on a word. An important aspect of this laptop is that the child, if it is not immediately gives the right answer times, further motivated it to try again. For durability .......... here comes again the good workmanship of VTech to Good. The laptop has already put away the occasional fall without problems. Conclusion: price-performance super. Would buy it again.
