The Nitro Jr. Notebook (ours came with 2 cartridges, with slots to hold 3 total) is OK, but really not worth the money. You'd be better off getting a Leapster. The only really good thing about this is that it looks like a real notebook computer, which of course has that "just like mommy/daddy's" appeal, but then when you open it up the display screen is only about 2x3 inches, and has 1980's quality graphics - really bad. My 3 and 6 year olds like the games, but I think they will get bored with this quickly. We also have a Leapster, which has much better graphics (even though the screen is smaller) and more variety to the games.

This laptop toy has lots of games, but they are VERY pixely and not at all intuitive. We've had a hard time figuring out most of them. However, for the price, this little toy díez have a lot of options. Not the best for English language learners.

What a great product this would be if only we could see the screen. My 5 year old and I are constantly leaning forward and trying to see and interpret the grahics. Why this company would put so much into designing great learning games but not creating a screen we can see is beyond me.

My son got it for his 4th birthday. I agree with the other reviews. The toy looks great, looks almost like a real computer but once you open it, the screen is too small and hard to read. It comes with 8 cartridges that you insert into the game slot and my 4 year old found it hard to get it out of the slot each time. Opening up the laptop is also a little difficult for tiny hands. All in all it has great potential and looks really cool but the screen size sucks.

Although I gave this a bad review initially, my son does not seem to notice the screen size and absolutely loves this toy! Even my 7 year old loves playing with it. So I am increasing the rating as the kids seem to enjoy the toy.

We got this for my daughter for her 4th birthday and she loves it. I read the reviews about the small screen - this does not bother me or her. She really likes the games (and there are many of them) and they challenge her. She loves the mouse and her own keyboard (she likes to "type"...so the word editor game is right up her alley) and that is is her "own computer like mommy and daddy". My daughter is only of the first level of games, so I do not know how the different levels are. The first level skills, however, are repetetive - which she needs. When she pushes a wrong button, it does not just buzz - it tells her the wrong answer, that it is not correct and gives her another chance at it.
When I was trying to play the games (in order to help my daughter), I felt like I was 10 again playing Atari. The graphics are old school and the screen is really dark, even though I changed the contrast. If I had known that the graphics were this unclear, I probably would not have purchased it.
