Toys and Games Reviews of Vtech Preschool Learning Tote and Go Laptop - 2010 Version
Customer Review: Not durable enough for children. Poor quality.
Summary: 1 Stars
We bought the Vtech tote and go laptop plus for our son for his 3rd birthday October 27th from Kohls.
This weekend, March 5th, the button on the mouse came off and we can't get it to stay on. It doesn't look like any pieces broke, so I'm not sure why it came off.
Today I exchanged it for another one at Kohls and when we got it home, the new one doesn't play sounds. I turned the volume all the way up, but still no sound. This is really disappointing because it is a fun learning tool and my kid loves having his own laptop just like mommy and daddy. He will be very disappointed to no longer have one.
This was my first and last Vtech toy that I will purchase. Their product durability and quality is poor.
Customer Review: A Winner
Summary: 5 Stars
Vtech really got it right on this one:
* Durable, rugged construction. After a year of abuse from two young boys, the only issue is the mouse doesn't click well to the left, but it still works OK. Everything else is 100%
* Intuitive. My older son (then 2 years, now 3) figured it out almost immediately.
* Surprising depth. Some functions are more complex, making for lasting play. A year later, and my son still pulls this laptop out for play.
* Highly educational. Our son picked up his letters and numbers early, largely through constant use of this laptop.
* Cheap. the 3-year-old has been showing -- at best of times -- our younger son how to use it. Sometimes they'd fight over it. So we bought another.
Customer Review: Poor screen graphics
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this toy for my 3 year old son becuase he loves to play CD games on our laptop at home. I wanted something portable and thought the "keyboard" , flip up monitor and working mouse was a great idea. i purchased this w/o seeing or testing the actual toy in a store first. had i done that, i would have realized the graphics were poor (very poor). sometimes it was difficult making out the animal that was being depicted. the screen is small and in black and white. OK for the price, but with the current graphics of the Leapster and Mobi-Go products, i'll put the rest of the $ toward something that won't strain my son's eyes trying to play. cute concept, but they really need to update the graphics in this day and age.Customer Review: Adult Assistance Required
Summary: 3 Stars
My Grandson at two was not able to really enjoy this. Granddaughter at four could get through some of the games. This is not a game you can just hand over to children who cannot read. It requires adult supervision most of the time. The children are now 3 and 5 and beginning to enjoy it. It is most suitable now for the five year old as she is beginning to read and can remember what key does what. It is a great toy for learning but you do need to sit with the child constantly under five and at five they can get going on the games once you help them find it. The screen is small and looks somewhat like an etch a sketch. But for the price, it works. I think now at five that child will be able to take this in the car and play.Customer Review: Great Toy but Phonetics are mispronounced
Summary: 3 Stars
My daughter just received the Vtech Tote 'N Go Laptop Plus as a gift. We haven't fully explore the toy yet but one thing I noticed are the Phonetics that are mispronounced. V-tec should have consulted an educator about the sounds of the letters coz the following are incorrect: L, M, N, R, V, & Z. The toy pronounced it as lu, ma (mu), nu, ru, vu, & zu. vtech are teaching wrong phonetics to the kids.
Other than that, the screen is too small, the mouse is also small and my daughter is having a hard time manipulating the mouse.
The rest of the games are educational. I still have to wait and see if this toy will really last. Maybe there are better laptops out there.
