I was a bit hesitant to purchase due to this computer being listed alongside other brands like HP, Dell, Lenovo, etc, so I did some extra looking around about this device before purchasing. The way the device is packaged is really well done and engages the kiddo right away. It runs Windows 10 which has its ups and downs, but that means it is reliable and works with just about whatever software we want. Great content built in with Kano's apps.

From the moment I opened the box with kids aged 3-8, they were immediately engrossed in the packaging and instructions. Having them build the computer and learn about the parts before it even turns on is a genius idea. And they were so proud that they did it and told several other family members. Once on, the computer guides you through an easy setup. Beyond the features and functionality you'd come to expect from a Windows driven computer, there are many Kano specific features that are great for kids (and even adults) to learn from as well. Apps to learn coding through fun city building exercises and the ability to easily connect to other Kano products like the Star Wars coding kit are just two of the features that set this PC apart from other entry level computers like the Chromebook. Would highly recommend for young kids and even parents.

I was a bit skeptical when we opened the box and saw that we had to build it. However, the instructions were simple to follow, and my son and I had it built in 15-20 mins. It’s going to be perfect for his distance learning this fall!

My 8 year old son loves this computer, I think it is awesome because he actually got to assemble it learn. Now he understands the operation of a computer. It’s transparent shell is awesome because you see it’s internal processor working.

Daughter put it together with adult supervision. Very cool machine. Hope it encourages her to learn to code. Added a webcam & microphone so can record herself playing. Right now she’s moaning about lack of touchscreen and emojis for Roblox but she’s becoming world class at Minecraft.
