Does anyone have this child laptop?

I’m hoping the link works!

My 5 year old with autism dearly wants a laptop for Christmas. He loves to google brand names and find their logo on Wikipedia! They are currently his special interest.

He loves to use a keyboard and mouse pad (he very occasionally has played with my work laptop). I’m reluctant to buy one that could easily break so wondered if anyone has any experience of the one linked?

Thank you in advance.

I don't have experience with this one, but I'm sure they break easily.

Any reason it has to be a laptop and not a table computer?

I looked at this one for my 6 year old this year and ended up going for a lexibook laptab instead. It has a full sized screen which was a big bonus for me

Have you got the Logo board game? You'd be better off with a Kindle Kids tablet, cheap and pretty indestructible with the case

Thanks everyone. He has a kindle but sadly it’s the keyboard he is fascinated by!

Yes, we have the logo game. Well, he has the cards in a special display book!

You can get Bluetooth keyboard cases to go with a fire tablet.

Chromebook is a good option as well - decent parental controls and a much better screen and app compatibility than the kid specific devices with custom software. Theres a few under £200
