 2-year-old tired of it quickly September 20, 2006

We received this as a 2-year birthday gift. When my son gets something new that he likes, he doesn't put it down for days. His interest in this lasted about 10 minutes. We are returning it, and will try a different computer-like toy.
The mouse is difficult to use, and personally I think having the upper- and lowercase letters on the same button is distracting. The screen is really small, and the top/cover snaps to a 90-degree angle and about a 45-degree angle, so he could never quite see it properly when sitting on his lap. Once, he lay on the floor to see the screen. That alone was enough for me to reject it--I hope to find one with an infinitely adjustable cover, like my own laptop.
He has a similar toy without a screen, the Alphabet Apple by V-Tech, which amuses him for a good 30 minutes in the car. If the "Laughtop" had cost $11.99, I'd be more forgiving, but for the price I expect more.
 good toy with one little problem October 22, 2006

Someone got this toy for my son and he loves it and plays with it constantly. The complaint that I have is that every time the letter Q comes up, instead of the toy saying just the letter "Q" the toy says the sound and then the letter which come out like "qua Q" which sounds JUST like F**K Y*U!! the letter U comes out pretty much the same as "UH U"
My kid keeps repeating "Qua Q" all the time, even to strangers and I get the worst looks from people!!!
I'd love to complain directly to fisher price but all they have is a phone number, no email, so I'm reluctant.

My 3 y.o. son got this as a gift three days ago and he LOVES it. He likes that he can choose the games himself and I notice that he's even begun to really recognize letters already. My only complaint is that the "mouse" is difficult to operate and it can be frustrating for him while playing the games that require him to use the mouse (fortunately, not all the games do need the mouse). I'm hoping that with use it will loosen up.
She enjoys it! November 28, 2006

My almost 3 year old has autism and she really enjoys this toy even though some of the features are advanced for her right now. For example the two games that you can play with the mouse, a "pong" style and the maze game are beyond her now but she'll have that new discovery in the future.
With the two screen positions she can see fine and I can see the screen even when she's in the floor a distance away. It's not too small and it is intense enough to be acceptable for play. She really enjoys the "raining letters" game where they fall from the clouds and you must push the corresponding letter on the keyboard so the onscreen one drops in the water bucket. All the games have several levels of difficulty.
The feature she enjoys the best is the composer setting where you can play it like a keyboard and there are visuals to match onscreen.
She does not become bored easily with this toy and it was worth the price and is durable and portable.
Fun on a limited scale---best part is how it looks! March 30, 2008

My daughter is 3, and has been diagnosed as autistic (although we are not really sure at this point) and has narrow interests in toys. We bought this because she spotted it at a toy store and immediately said "I want to push it! I want to push the ABC letters! I want that computer!". It was one of the longest speeches she has made ever, so of course I had to buy it. I think it appealed to her because it really does look a lot like a laptop computer, exactly the kind of thing she isn't allowed to touch much at home as she has a natural gift for erasing files and changing major settings!
I can't say as I think she will really get long use out of it, however. It is a pretty limited toy---you push the letters and it says them, and their sound, and shows a picture, another mode plays a short bit of music for different keys, and lets the top keys be like a piano, another mode plays games which are beyond her at this point, but I really doubt many self-respecting 7 year olds would have any interest in---I think they are reaching a bit to say the top age for this toy is 7! However, she has played with it a fair amount so far.
It's pretty durable, it has to be to last around here. She has dropped it quite a few times and it hasn't skipped a beat.
One annoying thing---when you are playing with it and stop, the voice asking you to keep playing has the most sarcastic tone! I would like toys to model NICE manners!
Overall, fun as a computer substitute.
