Startright Learn and Talk Billingual Laptop

Sunday, December 7, 2008


The Startright Learn and Talk Billingual Laptop is recommended by the manufactureer for ages 5 and up.

Features:

Fun activities to improve vocabulary, math and eye-hand coordination skills
Language switch to select between 2 languages
Friendly, encouraging interactive voice
26 Melodies encourage "sing-a-long fun"
Self-Learning with useful Help key

Requires 4 "AA" Batteries (not included)

All that said, I was very dissappointed with this product. It was given to my son last year as a Christmas present. I had a hard time figuring out how to operate this child's laptop. To select between the 2 languages or access the different games, you have to enter in a code. My son was not able to use this. My daughter, who is five and a half now, still can not use this the way it is intended.

Both my son and daughter can access and use my computer. They know how to click on the icons, select what they want to do, and play their games. Shouldn't a toy geared toward a child of at least 5 years of age be easier to use than my computer?

I'm sorry, but I can not recommend this product. Not for a young child. An older child might love it. I think when my daughter turns about 7, she will have an easier time with it. I don't think my son will ever take to it.
