Fun Windows 10 PC/tablet. Easily switched from Windows S to Windows Home. Storage can be added using its SD card slot as a second drive.
Like a Surface on a budget. I bought it for travel, Netflix, etc.
Keyboard is held on magnetically like my Surface. The whole device seems somewhat ruggedized. Great choice for an inexpensive touchscreen Windows machine.

Purchased for my 5yr old... Had my 10 yr. old Put it together. It was simple. Was confusing at first because as others stated, its NOT windows 10!! We couldn't use Google til we did an install.. Was complicating in the beginning but overall worth it. I purchased onsale so cant really argue.. Would recommend if you can get it at a cheaper price.

This is the neatest child pc out there. The fact the child helps build it is fascinating, it is simple, educational, and very quick to do! My 8 year old loves it, it works for school, gaming, and art. The see- through base is so cool. Highest recommendation.

Reasonable Price for Laptop

This is exactly laptop I was looking for —Windows 10 and Microsoft Office Suite (not a subscription) with a reasonable price. This may be mainly for kids but it works for adults too. The only thing I don’t like is that it doesn’t stand on my lap. You will need a lap desk (or something flat, hard surface underneath the laptop if you want it on your lap). It stands fine on desk/table though. Overall, I’m very satisfied with this computer.

My daughter uses it for school. One inconvenience is you will need to purchase a separate webcam, there is not one included.
But, with the flashing lights and all that - kids should go crazy for it. It is a neat little thing.

I loved my old Surface, which finally could not be resurrected and sought a replacement, and I am totally delighted with the Kano! It's cute, easy to operate, sturdy and does everything I need for an incredible price.

I got this for $99 which is a great buy. It's a little glitchy and heavy and bulky so not ideal for a laptop. Better used like a desktop. Really simple built in learning programs for children who want a basic introduction to programming.

Bought the Kano for my 11 y/o son who’s interested in learning to code. He enjoys the games and the simple interface. Also good for him to browse the Internet for school projects.

I wanted an inexpensive Windows tablet. I bought this when it was on sale. I have been very satisfied. I added a memory chip to provide storage for photos and videos, etc. It works great with all the apps I use. It is a little heavy and clunky, but I am very pleased given its cost. I didn't care that it was aimed at kids and you had to "assemble" it. Not much assembly required, but the directions were cute for the kids. It includes some apps that might apply to kids, but I didn't try that out.

Brand response from Team Kano

Hi Nuri, Thanks for your review! Safety and privacy are big priorities for us and our users and that 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

We got 2 of these ao we can co-homeschool. On days where we go to the other families house these are perfect. Small but not too small and have USB ports for reg keyboard & mouse. We did find out the hard way ONLY way to charge is with the charger that comes with the device. It will not qork on other C cables. Good for school and watching Netflix. This is a work computer. Will not work great for games. Tried twitch sings just to see and it is a no for that. But powers word docs, excel sheets, and my kids homeschool program which is all I need.

We needed to replace our old laptop and wasn't sure about this one. It works great and the price was right. It is nice having a keyboard or touchscreen for this size and it is not slow.
