Great little laptop. I know the main purpose is to learn how to code but it works well as a laptop which is what I use it for. The graphics are fun and the programs teaching coding are really cool. It’s pretty thick and heavy so I probably won’t travel with it much but it’s a great back up laptop for a good price.

I bought two of these to meet the Windows requirement for online learning for my kids. They haven't used them for school yet, but they are loving these new laptops. They like that it can also function as a tablet and that you can even plug it into your TV for a much larger screen.

This is an Awesome little computer for kids or someone looking for a computer that can be a bulky tablet. I work in IT and i was amazed at how well this little computer runs. Yes its a Celeron, with only 4GB of Ram but the 64GB onboard hard drive is sort of a lower end SSD but together it makes the computer zippy. I do wish they maybe had allowed for upgradable ram to improve performance but i get what this device is geared for. I don't have kids and actually purchased this for myself and use it in a School environment. The students love it as it has some LED lights that shine through the plastic housing so it makes the device 100% approachable. It also has an MicroSD Card Slot for Additional Storage which is great. The only complaint if i had any is the keyboard stand only has one setting so you need to use it on a table or detach the keyboard and use it like a tablet.
Recommendations to Kano: Allow for more ram / better cpu in maybe a step up unit and modify the keyboard to allow for different degree's of standing and you'll have an even better rival for the chromebooks!

This was so fun to do with my 8yr old!! But we are still having issues with downloading certain games. The activate windows message keeps popping up and I can’t figure out if we were given a product key or if that’s something I need to buy separate. I’ve tried getting ahold of anyone to help but have not been able to. But this computer does have some cool stuff on it and watching my son get excited putting it together and reading about it made my heart melt!

My 8 yo son really enjoyed the experience of building his new laptop with his dad’s supervision. The directions were very easy to follow and they were done very quickly. My son loves that you can covert easily from a laptop to a tablet back to a laptop. What we r eew let don’t like is the weight. He has to carry it in his backpack everyday and it adds a lot more weight than his previous chrome computer.

My daughters love it! It is easy to use. They like that it is touch screen and they can use programs that are not available for chromebooks. It does not come with the webcam. We ordered the webcam online so my daughters can use the computer for their online classes.

Perfect for my kids (10 and 7) for their first computer. Equipped with a touchscreen, keyboard, and long battery life, it has the essentials. A little on the HEAVY side. Don’t expect too much but sub-one hundred you can’t beat it!

Bought this for my stepson's birthday few weeks ago. He really likes it. I think this laptop has good specs for the price (got it on sale). Other laptops at this price range have cheap flash storage instead of a SSD drive. It was easy to put together it works like any other Windows laptop. Only downside is my stepson can't play Among Us on Windows.

Hi Shelly, It's great to hear that you like the Kano PC's touch screen! Safety and privacy are big priorities for us and our users. This is why we decided not to include an onboard webcam on the Kano PC. You can use any Windows 10 compatible webcam with your Kano PC. Best wishes, Team Kano

Excellent Little Tablet PC that could!

This little computer is deceivingly powerful! Don’t let that low cpu clock dissuade you— at max speed this Kano PC turbo boosts to 2.5 ghz and stays whisper quiet and buttery smooth (there are no noisy fans!)
It has Bluetooth, WiFi, and the battery life is quite lengthy and can pretty much survive an 8 hour work day with moderate use. It has an excellent and clear touch screen and form factor like its big brother the MS Surface Pro 2. Speaking of the WiFi, it’s super fast... I was able to get a stable 886/886 megabit connection and enjoyed streaming games from nVidia GeForce Now without so much as a hiccup. Amazing!
The keyboard has the same premium feel and softness as the MS Surface with strong magnetic connector.
If there was a con, I would say that it’s the inability to adjust the angle of the screen using the built in keyboard stand.

This computer is a must have for children 8+ as it teaches them vital skills for computer usage. You can monitor the content and put up great parental controls.
The keyboard is kinda junky but the computer itself is amazing, I would not hesitate to recommend this computer to anybody with children!

My little cousin loved it! He enjoyed building it himself and understanding how it works. He doesn't like English but this helped him become more determined to learn.
However, after a week, the sound stopped working and after trying several times, there was no success.

Working perfect for us. My 7 year old son is learning to type on the free Typing Club website/app. I did plug in an external, mechanical keyboard, to give him better feedback than the built in keyboard, but it seems perfectly functional as well. The intention is to start him on some intro programming after he is comfortably typing. So far, no issues. Best Buy had this for half the list price when I bought it. I wouldn’t hesitate at that price. As others have noted, the “build” isn’t really a legitimate computer assembly lesson, but the labeling is fun and Kano always brings a quality experience to their instructions and online resources for kids.
