    I had one almost exactly like this but a bit simpler I think, no mouse, but same colours. Crazy nostalgia hearing those sounds again!

      Me too! Mine was also blue without mouse.

      Same here. Exact same colors and everything. I think it was 1996/1997.

    I think this is the exact same version I had around 1997. It was so cool!! I remember the character was an anthropomorphic puppy dog and the computer would play songs like "When Johnny Comes Marching Home." So cool. I miss it!!

    Memories are coming back man. I remember when I had this exact one but also a blue & red one aswell. I would love to have one again, just for the memories.

    I was watching a Vinny (Vinesauce) stream of old commercials and saw a commercial for a similar educational computer system. It immediately brought back memories of the old educational "laptop" I had as a kid so I started googling to find it. This might be one of the only videos on youtube featuring this exact laptop that I used to have.

    I had one ALMOST like this, but it didn't have a mouse! It was for sure Vtech though, and the outside shell looked very similar.

  • @maddiemae33
    @maddiemae33 2 года назад +2

    I had one almost like this with out the mouse.
    The main thing I remember was playing tic tac toe over and over and it saying
    “My turn.” “Your turn.” And it was getting on my family’s nerves.

    I'm not sure if I had this EXACT one, but it might be. I don't remember it having a mouse, but I definitely remember the shape and these same colors, along with that dog.

    I cannot find the Vtech laptop that had the greenish blue screen that lights up. It used to have a trivia game and when you got something right it said easy come easy go. It also had this game where you could have a cat and if you fed the cat too much it would scratch you.

  • @Altoclarinets

    I had one very similar to this, but teal instead of navy, same basic case design and everything though. I think it maybe had a few more activities? I can see it having been like the version of this that came out the next year or something.
    I can't remember when exactly I got it but I feel like it had to have been 1998-99ish.
    ETA: what little info I can find suggests mine might have been called the Talking Whiz Kid Frontier. It seems to be a relatively rare model.

    • @Zvrra
      @Zvrra 3 года назад

      Did it have a greenish light up screen?
      Was there any type of game where you take care of pets and if you messed with the cat too much it would scratch you lol?

    So, my first laptop. Alright, it is the 2007 Hp Compaq NC4400. And thankfully I am reliable enough to have it with its pristine condition. I still love my laptop, and I'm still actively using it every day. Its condition is 9/10. The only reason why I still love it because the design is really simple, boxy looks and classic.
