• Caleb - These Laptops are great. They're vestile and have a heap of educational programs. When our teacher told us that we were getting laptops. I thought 'cool we're getting laptops' but when they arrived I thought 'how weird' but they are 10 times better than any normal laptop. They have a heap of educational games and other things to help learn and discover.

• Zoe - these laptops are awsome!!! our whole school has fun with them. i think we play with chat more than the other things, but there are heaps of other things that we love to do.
