    i bought this laptop for the price and it had an hdmi which allowed me to connect it to a larger t.v. screen. for checking my email and web searches it suits my needs and at 100 dollars a pop i bought 2. if it was still available at that price i would buy 2 more.

    If you're trying to find the perfect first computer for your kid, look no further. The Kano PC ticks all the boxes. It's fast. It feels great. My daughter loves the coding challenges and learning how her computer works. So so so happy with this. Thank you Kano.

    I purchased this Kano computer for my 8 year old with the hopes that he could use this for remote learning. The price was pretty high $377with warranty added, however, I liked the idea of the laptops/ tablet. It had a unique design and It was advertised for kids. “They can build their own computer”. First thing wrong is that it’s thick and pretty heavy for a kid to be carrying around. It’s bound to get dropped. Connecting a battery and plugging in a couple cords is not building a computer by far. It doesn’t come with a webcam. You have to purchase separately. It’s next to impossible to download any other apps or games on this computer. In fact you cannot download or install anything at all. It comes with pre installed apps that are pretty lame. We were so frustrated with this computer. Honestly I wanted to smash it with a hammer. It’s also pretty laggy and glitchy. Thank God!! I returned it just in the nick of time before it was to late to receive a refund. Save your money by a real computer, or a nice tablet. At least it comes with a camera and you can download and install what you want.

      We're really sorry to hear that you did not have a good experience with your Kano PC and returned it. We appreciate your feedback about the Kano PC's weight. The Kano PC building process is more than the parts themselves. The Kano PC's PCB has all the parts labelled so the user can learn more about their computer through Kano's pre-installed app "How Computer's Work". 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, but you can use any Windows 10 compatible webcam with your Kano PC. The Kano PC is able to download and run any programs that are compatible with Windows 10 and the specs of the Kano PC, so we are unsure as to why you experienced issues downloading apps or games onto your Kano PC. If you have any further feedback or questions, please reach out to our Customer Care team at help.kano.me. Best wishes, Team Kano KanoComputing

    For the price I don't think you can go wrong, is sturdy and has a lot of things in it that makes it worth it and functional for the type of task kiddos do now with online classes. For sure is not super performant, but for the purpose and needs it does the job very well.

    This is an unusual computer intended for kids, but works for anyone. When BB puts these on sale, you can get a reasonably priced computer with decent speed. It is heavy for a 11.6" screen but the screen resolution is good and the keyboard works well. it does not have a camera or microphone and there is no expansion memory slot. it is best used in a darker environment since the screen is highly reflective.
