 Pleasant alternative to the real deal September 13, 2007

The reason behind this purchase is that our little son has taken a keen interest in my laptop.
While banging away on the keyboard on one of the computers he would then look up at the screen to see the effect of his actions which strikes me as a bit advanced but my wife says that he is simply mimicking me.
So we figured we would search out what was available and we came upon this little gem of a toy.
Essentially the unit makes all kinds of music and sounds and interacts with keyboard input. Two volume levels are present and we find the lower setting to be perfect as it can get a bit loud on the louder setting. There are plenty of voices, sounds, and music so that things do not get too repetitive. There is also a little mouse that-well-is shaped like a mouse that can be moved up ,down, left ,and right with a corresponding voice stating the movement. The mouse is attached to the unit and cannot be removed so nothing can be lost or swallowed.
Durability is very good on this item with no small items that can break off or removed for consumption or chocking ( This is of primary concern for us as it should be for all).
One thing to watch out for and as another reviewer stated is that my boy closes the lid on his fingers or hand. Now for some reason after he closes the lid he places all of his 8 month old might into ensuring it is closed. So I would not walk away and leave him long with it alone as who knows how much pressure it takes for him to feel it. So far he has not injured himself and he has not cried or made any other type of commotion -yet. Just something to watch out for. I am sure if it really hurt he would stop but I am a paranoid father.
EDIT: Well, my boy finally did push too hard and hurt himself with his finger inside the lid. No damage but something to look out for.
Now my boy does tend to get bored easily and this item is no different. In fact now when I open the screen and play with it with him, he just casually reaches over and closes the screen often. I think my wife taught him that so that I would do the same with my own laptop.
The toy itself is great and though no where near the sophistication of the real thing it certainly did not cost as much or as dangerous either (he pulled the L key off my laptop keyboard).
Battery life so far is very good with the unit being used everyday for 3 weeks and no sign of weakness. This is a relief as some toys eat through batteries very quickly and things get costly over time as the good batteries are not exactly cheap. We tend to go through 10-15 batteries a week in his other items such as rockers, toys, etc..
Oh, how I envy him and his simple laptop; no investments, no news, no emails, no etc.... just lights, music, and sound.
Our boy really does enjoy the time with this toy and though he seems now to be more fascinated with closing the lid than anything else there are times he enjoys just slamming his fist at the keyboard and looking up at the screen. Now THAT he did get from daddy! ;)

Wow! What a nice toy. So far, my son really enjoys playing with the VTECH toys I have purchased and this one has proven to be a purchase well worth the investment. This particular toy is nice because while I am working on my laptop, he keeps busy with a baby version that is all his own. This toy is colorful, the voices and music are pleasant to listen to. There are three different learning modes so that your baby can learn with this toy. There is also a volume control. As a parent of an 11-month old, I would recommend this toy.

My 10 month old loves this laptop, at the moment its all about the buttons and sound but I'm hoping the sounds from the laptop covering the topics like music and shapes will provide more opportunity to learn. Glad we bought it.

My baby loves this toy. She dances and sings to the music and has memorized which buttons trigger which songs. This is an extremely durable toy - it has survived many falls. Batteries lasted a long time.
awesome baby laptop! October 23, 2008
I got this for my 7 month old because he was continually grabbing at the mouse and keyboard every time I had him on my lap at the computer. He absolutely loves this toy! He is fascinated by the lights and sounds, and loves to hit the keys and push on the mouse. The price is great as well. Overall, this is probably one of the best purchases that I have made.
