Good Laptop For Kids
If you've been wondering about what kind of laptop to buy for your child, I would like to help you make that decision. I've written before on the Asus EEE PC and I believe that this would make a perfect laptop for kids.
It's a small laptop; Only 7 inches which makes it highly portable. The price is right starting at around $300 and it does almost everything that a larger laptop does. What makes it great for kids is that it has a solid state hard drive, which means no moving parts. No moving parts means that its going to be much harder to damage this little laptop. They can take a few bumps without breaking.
On the downside, they come preloaded with linux which will limit what you can do with it unless you know a bit about linux. It comes from the factory preloaded with software that will allow you to run MS Office documents, spreadsheets and powerpoint files with no problem thanks to OpenOffice being loaded. It also comes with Firefox installed instead of Internet Explorer, which in my opinion is a much better browser anyway. It can be used for messaging, internet and email. Where it may lack is on the gaming side. If you know how to install games on Linux, then you will be alright, but it isn't the highest performance laptop on the market so you may not want to do any heavy gaming anyway.
If you're looking for a great laptop for kids that can easily surf the internet, handle word processing, email and instant messaging, an Asus EEE PC will do the trick and all without costing much money.
