When "constant noise" can not tolerate, a device will certainly quickly become annoying. This is true but for most speaking and dudelnden Children toys. Our kids love the laptop since we ordered him a few months ago for a long road trip. He's really built quite stable and after a few falls, we are glad that he has no "real" glass display. The pictures on the many ProgramTicket rich us as display fine. The batteries will last quite a long time. Our three year olds can answer from month to month more questions on the cards ("... how many do you see?", "What has the color ..."). So it is the laptop still not boring. Earlier they used rather only the music map. Also, most children can be separated from the laptop visit us never. We are glad to have opted for this model.
