This kit is actually a very good learning tool. You can literally control sensors, lights, servos etc via code. It is an excellent gift for a technically-curious child/teenager but too expensive.

I was watching this and was thinking "Huh, for $75-100 this might be a fun project to play with." then I heard the price and this went from "Fun project" down to a "Total waste".
As a former tech nerd kid who now works in AI I would have absolutely LOVED this when I was younger, having everything so tidy and at hand would have boosted my learning so hard. If I had a child I'd buy them this for sure, lol.

I have a cerebral palsy in Autism, so I think this laptop would especially be good for my low motor skills because I like to build things and take things apart so this project might actually be good for me
Would be good for a stem/steam school or homeschool type environment. Wish there was a drop in option shell for a pi 4. Pinebook / pinebook pro does this with the rock64 board, and it has a battery.
i think the main difference between the Kano, this and the Framework is that this device and the Kano are learning tools. Like those two had an emphasis on programming and coding things while the framework is a laptop that you buy and build, there's no real singular purpose for it.
for adults used to ps5 and xbox one series x I could of course see why they think "it is a terrible experience" *BUT!* I watched this video with my 10 year old daughter and she now wants me to buy her one of these and thought it looked awesome....
I did have a look at the Deluxe version of this and it's going to be a nope from me as I need to be able to install an M.2 4TB SSD just for my retro gaming
Now I want to see a This Is video where you try to learn Python programming. Also, I want to see your approaches to debugging error messages. This would be a great video.
I think you missed the mark on the software part. It seems the whole point of this laptop is to help your kid learn to program. Dismissing the programming aspect and saying that you would install a stock OS gets rid of most of the value add. It doesn't make sense to compare this to any other normal laptop. A closer comparison might be something like the Pitop but that seems geared more towards working with their sensors and not breadboarding. It does seem too expensive though.
@@IceYetiWins I think it running slower is still kind of missing the point though. I agree with you its running things like a normal computer slower because of the additional software installed on it. If you want to use the laptop like a build it yourself laptop and use it to web browse and play games then its a piece of shit computer that 's way overpriced & over convoluted. The point of the computer from my perspective is it is a teaching tool meant for people to use to learn programming and circuit building. I assume their "bloatware" are teaching tools that go alongside the breadboard and additional things underneath the motherboard such as to teach you how to program and power LED lights, or the controllers like building a game inside of a block programming language/python and playing it. It might be super basic, it might be pretty advanced, It's hard to tell when I know only a little about circuit building and programming, but as an entire kit used to learn on your own, it seems kinda cool to me even if it runs web browsing kinda garbage, because I wouldn't buy it to web browse. I would buy it to learn. Even with that said its still might not for everyone trying to learn programming and circuit building for many other reasons as well.
@@jamesbuccino376 The issue is it's too expensive while still running a lot worse than a normal raspberry pi 4. And if someone really wanted to learn about circuitry and stuff wouldn't it be better to get a raspberry pi 4 and make your own thing for cheaper (and have it run faster)?
Wait...... this is so neat. Might be cool to prototype on this and then deploy on another Pi. 550 DOLLARS?????????? NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO WAY!!!!!!
For what it is, this is an awesome kit. Its a good way to get a kid/tween who is savvy into programming. It is a bit overpriced though. And technically this isn't building a laptop if connecting 1 port to a prebuilt system completes the build.
Would probably be nice when they include a lattepanda single baord computer with core M3 cpu in it, far more capibilities and the lattepanda has a atmega 32u4 on it but maybe you can also add custom hardware like in this laptop its great for children tough
This is for kids that are learning programming and robotics! I'm a technology teacher and this blew my mind! Right until I saw the price. This would be awesome for around 250-300 dolars.
This would be really cool if it was a bit more polished and reasonably priced, but at the price they are selling it for though it is just a straight up scam. I expect the actual cost to put together one of these kits would be $150-$200, but because they are marketing it as a learning tool for kids they think that they can make a 200% profit on it. It is sad that so many educational things are like this, half baked and excessively overpriced.

Austin should have to daily drive that thing for a month. lol. As a programing learning tool, it looks amazing. As a laptop or retro gaming? not so much.
this may be a piece of garbage ... but, for someone who hasn't delved into the "Pi world" (if that's a thing) what Razzberry Pi set up should I consider getting for my very bright nephew? He's bored in school and we need to challenge him.
Our youngest 10 Y.O. Grandson is already far, far more computer literate than this piece of junk. He would never take it out of the box. Maybe certain 2Y.O.s but that's it.
The concept is cool. That's really the only defense lol the implementation is horrid. Making something for kids doesn't have to mean making a pile of junk.
totally spam. jejejeje Maybe you can find replacement pieces of a model that you can buy ir for less, because those are generic.. and then you can say "We build a laptop"
this is the only laptop they let me use in the This is basement :(

Hey, that was a big upgrade from the Tamagotchi we originally gave you.
It’s an experience though
That's a crime against humanity
This Is tragic
Finally, an upgrade for me, ive been editing on a speak-n-spell for YEARS
was way better than the bop-it i was using before

This kit is actually a very good learning tool. You can literally control sensors, lights, servos etc via code.
