My Music and My Videos will need content downloaded from the web access or imported on a micro sd card (not included). There is a simple word processor and you can create simple documents and save them to an SD card for printing.

( this is not included) and you need to connect to WiFi for most things. There is a mouse and keyboard etc for children to develop computer use skills. Whilst the lack of a standard operating system on the Genio means it cannot connect to a printer, there is a PDF creator function when saving documents, which can then be exported to the removable memory card for printing on a conventional PC. The mouse is lightweight, but the cable is quite stiff making it difficult to move around with the dexterity needed to control some applications.

Whilst all of the Vtech apps are designed for single button use, it would make more sense to incorporate at least two buttons, as this configuration is what is likely to be encountered in the real world. The keyboard is the right size for small, as opposed to adult fingers.

Once everything is ready to go, users can log in under profiles set up by parental control. Overall I think this is good for your child so they can learn how to use a laptop, but you know they will be safe using it as it is designed for kids and you can make sure they are only allowed on certain things. The power supply has a bespoke jack-type connector (see pic), as opposed to a USB type, so don’t lose the power supply. The Art Application allows a number of pre-set icons and graphics to be used.
