      I agree with AJ on the point that you need to remember this is a disposable device - as long as you go in with that mindset, Go for it!

        Agreed you will want TouchScreen here on out with Windows Devices...my fear is the hard drive will slow it down...you may want to look at a SSD drive as an option or in the future...

        My Acer came with a 5400 RPM drive... 5 years ago. The drive finally died and I replaced it with an SSD. I've got to say the performance difference is tangible I wish I had done when SSD prices started to come down.

          The device is a learning tool. Not just for learning about how to use a computer, but also learning how to properly care of her possessions.

          So because of that, it is not disposable. It will not be replaced easily.

              She is 6 that doesn't mean she can't be very responsible. My son at that age had his own that he was responsible for fixing and updating. Kids can be responsible.

                    I built PCs for my kids from leftover parts in 2003 for Christmas. I told them if they got virus and malware from downloading music illegally, they would have to re install Windows.

                    My youngest son came to me a week later and asked for the Windows XP CD and if I would walk him through the process.

                        Great way for them to learn! And very amusing to watch them figure it out on their own.
