Laptops for children are mainly manufactured to enhance learning as well as provide entertainment.
Are these units as costly as mainstream computers?
Kids' portable computers need not be expensive at all. Here are some toy systems that you can get your children which are absolutely fun and educational. They are not meant to replace actual computer experience though. These toys have gray scale LCD screens and operate on batteries.
The GeoSafari Kids' Laptop doesn't have an actual screen but has games similar to other toys like this. It features trivia games and interactive lessons on topics like animals, history, sports, math and science. The games come with several options like multi-player modes so it can be played with friends. Versions are available for children aged 3 to 7 and children aged 8 and above. Does your child want something that looks like the real thing?
