Vtech Nitro Notebook – Why It Gets Rave Reviews
From one of the world’s leading toy manufacturers comes the Vtech Nitro Notebook. No, it is not a dangerous toy made from gunpowder or a notebook designed to explode. Yes, it is a laptop for children 5 years old an up, which combines the benefits of education and enjoyment for the intended recipients. With its price tag in the vicinity of $50 depending on the site and store, you can become one of the thousands of parents who gave the Nitro laptop 4.5 out of 5 rating and for good reasons, too.
For one thing, you can mistake the Nitro notebook for a real, well, notebook. On the outside it has a sleek external casing that will put even your full-featured laptop to shame. Of course, it comes in two colors – black and pink – to suit the gender of your children.
As for the internal component, your children will love it that the keyboard for the Vtech Nitro Notebook is all grown-up with the QWERTT keyboard and the monitor control with a working plug-in mouse. Now, your children can feel like mom and dad working on their own laptops. Think of it as family bonding time in the sense that your kids can relate to your activities.
Beyond the external casing and the internal keyboard, we think that it is the quantity and quality of the games, activities and lessons contained in each bundle. Your children can choose from 80 activities teaching multi-curricular skills that will prove valuable in schools. And to enhance your child’s foreign language skills, Spanish is one of the two languages used in the system, the other one being English. Interchangeable cartridges add more bonus games for more challenges.
The lessons are packaged as arcade games so that your children’s attention can be engaged for hours at a time. Just imagine hearing your children’s laughter while they are playing with the Vtech Nitro Notebook while you know that they are actually learning in their lessons in math, social studies, reading, language, art and music. It’s a win-win situation for everybody concerned.
From the beginning when the Nitro notebook is opened, your children will be attracted to the notebook. If you were a child, you would be, too, thanks to the fun music and the children’s voices telling the various play options.
Then when navigating the simple interface, your children will be drawn deeper into the learning experience. Don’t worry about your 5-year old becoming bored with the same lessons every day either because the Artificial Intelligence feature of the Vtech Nitro Notebook ensures that your child’s learning level is stored in the memory and then adjustments will be made according to his/her progress.
On the flip side, you will want the gray-scale LCD to be updated to a colored scale so as to have the look of a true laptop. Then again, your children will not seem to mind so it can be overlooked. Also, you have to make a separate purchase for the A/C adapter if you want to plug the notebook into the main grid. Otherwise just use 3 AA batteries, which may or may not be included in the bundle.
All in all, the Vtech Nitro Notebook truly packs a punch in terms of value for money. You will recommend it to other parents for its many merits.
