As far as computer themed toys for children go, that one is actually pretty neat. The working mouse is a treat. I have this weird thing, though, where I will notice some little charecter and wonder who drew that. Wonder how many people actually take the time to notice it. My daughter definitely never talked about the cute cartoon mouse playing soccer on the frame of the electronic soccer net toy, yet someone made that charecter, and it was printed on a sticker to put on the toy. So seeing those animations really hit that feeling hard. Someone made them, likely only for this one toy. I wonder how many people had ever seen them before today.

Thing is... My parents bought me one of these (The previous generation) when I was like 3 and I ABSOLUTELY loved it. I could spend literally hours upon hours doing God knows what and just learning stuff. It even taught me how to multiply, and I still have it somewhere in their place. You could even attach a printer to it through a prehistorical serial port. Besides, one of the activities was a bunch of National Anthems played with that crappy 8-bit like sound. I think that's why most of my little friends of that time ended up with migraines or voices in their heads. Thanks for the memories, Wade. Thank you a lot.

Funnily enough, I had a similar device when I was younger. For christmas one year, I think I was 4 or 5, my parents got me one of those desktop-style learning computers. It had many games that I liked playing with, but I remember just how tiny the screen was. Oftentimes I wouldn't turn it on and just pretended to be an office worker in my bedroom. I was a strange kid but I loved it to bits. I remember, the monitor itself had a black bezel with all the games listed and a super simple little screen in the middle. There was also clear plastic that wrapped around the monitor. The keyboard was black with white keys and the mouse itself was solid black. I can't for the life of me remember the brand or model, and i've got no clue what happened to it.

I got one of those (or something extremely similar) for my kid when he was like 3 because he always wanted to be on my laptop while I was working. 100% would recommend! Perfect distraction and it kept him from wrecking important stuff! Good memories, thanks for the flashback!

That's _definitely_ an unlicensed sample of the TNG transporter sound effect scrolling on the menu. The way the chord modulates down in amidst the schwooshy texture is identical. Specifically sounds like it's from one of the movies I think. Kinda ballsy on their part ngl.

I have a similar one somewhere, but from Lidl's store brad SilverCrest, it uses the same mouse connector, also takes 3 AAs and the screen is just as tiny, and probably does the exact same things. Also that thing has a headphone jack in the back, mine's is in the right side.

I wonder if this was a thing in other places but, in the us, we used to get these awful paper magazines that advertised stuff to like, really old people. Coins, WW2 stuff, war documentaries, knickknacks, “military grade flashlights”, and old old terrible laptops. Like, 500$ for a really bad win XP in like 2012. You should try to find some of those bad Bois !

The one that I had that was similar to this when I was a kid in like the early 2000s the top part was shaped like a face with headphone on. That's where the speaker was. Also that means it wasn't rectangular shaped. The keyboard was in alphabetical order and definitely not like a real computer at all. This thing was purple and white with orange or yellow keys if I remember correctly. So definitely not a leapster

Honestly, I can see this being really good as a niche tool to help kids learn. It teaches them bare minimum tech literacy (navigating menus, using a keyboard), exposes them to basic vocabulary... It's swamped today, and definitely outdated by 06, but I feel like this had potential.

I had something like this in the nineties... so this was waaay outdated the second it left the factory. Though mine didn't have a mouse, instead it was a weird mini joystick thing in the middle of the keyboard.
@DonVigaDeFierro8 ай бұрын
I had a blue and yellow thing like this. The mouse was attached to the "laptop" and only had a "track wheel", which means you could only move the cursor right or left. The keyboard was stiff af, and the keys looked like the ones on a cheap calculator, and you had to press real hard to type anything. I was like 6 years old, and the fast typing game scared the shit out of me, because it made a loud BEEEEP when you let the letters fill the screen.

Oh, I had one really similar to this as a kid! Around the same time too, I think. In retrospect I can recognize this was digital garbage, but at the time I loved it. Coming from a family that couldn't really afford a brand new computer for the kid (and being that I was like, eight at the time) I think it actually did a pretty great job at removing the mystique from computers before I ever got to use them at school :) This video brought back some good memories!

I had a similar laptop to this when I was little. Unfortunately i don't remember the brand, but it was red and yellow and was a bit more basic compared than this, as it was intended for 5/6 years old (but some games were quite similar). The synth voice was in my native language (portuguese). I literally learned to read at 4 years old thanks to that little nugget, and it definetly paved the way for the tech passion i have today. Who knew that the worst laptops could unlock some of our best memories... Thanks Dankpods, amazing as always.

Oh hey, I remember stuff like this showing in the toy stores ads! The mouse cursor actually moves pretty smoothly considering basically non-existent screen resolution:) I'm pretty sure that menu sound is just the transporter sound effect from Star Trek: TNG, or possibly ripped out from some ST game- and with audio quality stomped to the ground:) Speaking of, pretty sure confirmation sound in programs (Games? Apps? _Experiences?_ Whatever you want to call them) is a off-key door chime from the same show:D
