Finally, there’s a laptop customized for kids: the Peewee PC. Before the Peewee PC, parents were concerned about their child’s security online along with the well-being of the laptop. Another parental concern was how long will the laptop last since Kids have been known to throw around laptops. Also, regular laptops needed to be customized to keep childrens’ attention spans – quicker boot times, easy-to-click desktop links to Dora the Explorer or The Wiggles.
Now, the Peewee PC is the ultimate kid-friendly laptop. This netbook only costs $600 and includes a multitude of customizable specs:
- Kids Windows XP theme (Disney, Sports, etc.)
- Custom-built for your child’s age, name, and interests
- Waterproof keyboard and can withstand drops and accidents
- The small 8.9″ LCD is a pivot, tablet, touch screen for little fingers to navigate
- Under 3 lbs and has a 5 hour battery life for the mobile kids
- Anti-virus and anti-spyware
- Age-Targeted software
The reviews thus far have been stellar. Parents love how there children are improving their vocabulary, hand-eye coordination. The company says the laptop is intended for 2-year olds and up. However, we’d recommend more like 4 or 5-year olds as a minimum since a 2 year-old might just want to throw it around and watch the smoke appear. Keep this in mind for the young ones since this netbook sure beats buying a regular computer at the same cost or more, and spending tons of computer tech time to tweak it to be kid-friendly.
