Vtech  Brilliant Creations Notebook

My son's grandparents bought this for him last year for christmas. The mouse cord broke within 2 weeks. The one good thing is that his grandparents bought an adapter. Since christmas was around this time I decided to revamp some of the toys that he hadnt played with throughout the year and bought a new adapter to replace the lost one. He likes playing with it but it doesnt deter him from playing with my laptop. He knows quality and the screen is not. I am debating on maybe just getting him a whole new laptop or replacing the mouse for his birthday. The disney netpal looks promising.

I got this for my grandchild who just turned 5, I was afraid it would be too advanced for her, but she is doing great, she figured it all out on her own and after a week is sounding out words on her own,,, It needs more than batteries, maybe there is an adaptor available?

I bought this so I would be able to actually work on my laptop without my 14 month daughter chasing after me. She loves it! The colors and friendly talking animals are very entertaining and she loves to type while Mommy is typing. Very good buy!

My son got this as a Christmas gift last year. He was only one at the time, but I really wanted him to have it. Needless to say, for the longest time he just pushed buttons at random. But now he loves working on his phonics with it and is using it in the way it was designed. And he is only 2, so I feel the age it is directed at could be a bit lower. My son has been pretty rough with this thing yet it still works perfectly fine, so it's really durable. I've only had to change the batteries once when the battery that it came with died and he uses it very frequently so it's not a battery guzzler. It has a TON of activities across a span of topics. A year later and we still have not gone through all of the activities. It is definitely something that can keep your child's interest for years to come. On the negative side, the screen is smaller than it could be and the pixelated aspect is weird. You can tell what is going on, but I don't like the way it looks. Other than that, I have no complaints.

I was really excited about this when my daughter opened it but the pixilated screen was a real letdown. The about of games and learning information on this is great but it could do with a better and larger screen.

I got this so my son will stop carrying my laptop everywhere thought I'd get him one of his own. Its very easy to use buttons are self explanatory. The only thing i didn't like aside from the flimsiness is that the screen could have been created differently its an OK size but there was a lot of room to work with so not sure why they made it that size and the way it was pixelated was nothing I've ever seen before kinda strange but picture is still good but I can see room for improvement there also.

My Twin Grand children age 5 boy and girl sit and play well with one another for good periods of time allowing my daughter time to manage housework while knowing they are constructiely engaged in something other than TV

the mouse broke on the first day he got it. bad mouse .

I like the ability of the notebook to simulate a PC, and with saving data, gives him a way to utilize the notebook.

We love this product, but after 1 month the mouse broke and cable connection snapped. The children generally use the laptop daily but are never rough with it. I would recommend it as a learning toy, but V tech needs to improve the mouse component.
