Should i get the kids laptop?

Great one more thing to distract kids, specially mine who get so easily distracted with anything. My son and daughter both want these kids laptops and I have no idea what to say to them as a parent. They are 7 and 5 and I’m helpless. Frankly I think it will just spoil them, I have said no once already, but kids can be stubborn. I really don’t have the heart of saying no anymore. Could you tell me if I should be strict about this or should I let them have it? I really wish to wait till they are older. I want to know what this laptop contains. Is it like a regular laptop like the ones we adults carry? Does it have only kid games or anything worthwhile from which they could learn something? Also if you could give me the approximate price of this product in Miami, Florida.

If your kids just want to play some games and act like mom or dad, these toy laptops for kids may be just the thing. These kids' laptops are reasonably priced, educational and fun, but keep in mind that they are also toys. They are not designed to replace a real laptop or computer experience. Unless otherwise specified, none of the toy kids' laptops have color screens and they all require batteries. The better kid's laptop toys have artificial intelligence learning programs to stimulate interests in language learning, mathematics, puzzle solving etc.  Many educational games are there are in these laptops like, English learning, Alphabets recognition and pronunciation, Write capital and small letters, Spelling and pronunciation, Identification of pictures, Play musical notes, Find the match pair and Draw a picture. So they help your child to learn easily while they play so I think that it is better if you will buy it as it is a best example of educational games kit. Early exposure to keyboard, mouse and learning programs are a great preparation for what they will find in school. Average price for these laptops are $250 to $400.
