PeeWee Pivot Tablet Laptop for Children [aka 'PeeWee Premier PC' for Kids]
Referred to as both the PeeWee Pivot Tablet Laptop and the PeeWee Premier PC, this 1.6GHz Atom N270 powered 10″ touchscreen laptop is aimed specifically at young children and, apart from offering s sturdy design capable of riding out the knocks and scrapes young kids will undoubtedly throw at it (its both drop and spill resistant), comes with a bundle of ten ‘age-targeted’ software titles as well as handwriting recognition and MS Works 9.0.
Measuring in at 9.5″ x 7.5″ x 1.5″ the PeeWee Pivot Tablet Laptop, as befits a tablet PC, comes with a swivel display capable of swivelling 180 degrees, 1GB of memory (upgradeable to 2GB), a 60GB HDD, 2-in-1 card reader and Ethernet connectivity as well as Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n (interestingly billed as Linux version only though only an XP Home version appears to be available at this time), a 1.3 megapixel camera and, apart from coming with customised themes taking in the likes of Disney can be ‘custom built for your child’s age, name, and interests’ - though quite what this specifically entails, apart from entering your kid’s name, eludes us.
Provided with software that enables parents to snoop on what their child’s up to (for piece of mind), the PeeWee Pivot Tablet Laptop is priced from just shy of $600 and is available as of now.
