Portable Computers For Children

The laptop computers designed for children have almost the same characteristics as the ones used by regular home users. The difference is that they are smaller and are usually created more for gamers, than for productivity and efficiency. A good laptop for children is the Mini 10v coming from Dell. These Mini computers have the main goal the fact that they let the children to connect with other children of their age from across the world. This require an Internet connection, which these computers provide for their users.




The keyboard of a Mini 10v is 92% the size of a normal computer. The display has 10.1 inches in diagonal and offers a 16:9 aspect ratio. The operating system installed on the computers is either Microsoft Windows 7 Starter, Windows Vista, Windows XP or Linux. Dell recommends Windows 7.



For a kid, this operating system will be the first system that he sees. As a parent, you have to provide all the best for your kid. He must get used to good things. The memory has 1 GB, but it is expandable up to 2 GB, in the case of the Mini computers that use Vista or Linux. The processor is an Intel Atom, the best processor ever created by a processor manufacturer for small computers. The Intel integrated media accelerator 500 is responsible for delivering the images for this computer.

The great thing for the children today is that they can enter Whyville, an application developed by the technicians at Dell’s in collaboration with other geniuses. There the kids can play and learn and all in an environment that has been awarded by numerous organizations and approved by teachers, parents and even kids. The hard drive of Mini 10v has a capacity of up to 250 GB and the computer has the possibility of using also a solid state drive instead of a hard drive. This is the future of the hard drives and it is good that this change includes the computers designed for children as well. The solid state drive lets you store information on 32 GB. This is a huge capacity for a child.



This computer model uses either a 3 cell battery, or a 6 cell battery. Dell recommends to select the variant with 6 cells, because a battery like this gives you the chance of using the computer more time on batteries. It would be recommended that your children don’t play demanding games, when the computer runs on batteries. When you want to see a movie or perform difficult tasks, then you should keep the computer plugged. Fortunately, there is no such a difficult task when talking about laptops for children. The kids use the computer for Internet and for games. And maybe for homework. But most of the time spent on the computer refers to games and chatting.
