When you boot up it asks you to choose your language. If you leave this alone for awhile, the mouse pointer turns into a spaceship and flies around the screen.
The keyboard is fully featured, along with a "mousepad" and mouse buttons. The mousepad has a directional pad to move the mouse around. There's a mouse port on the back of the unit, but I don't have a mouse to plug into it.
The touchpad that has buttons to turn on and off and directly choose apps.
The main menu:
The word processor. The display will show about 20 characters across.
It's got a whole bunch of little apps built in, including a fun trivia quiz game.
What's interesting to me is that it has the computer programming language LOGO built in.
It has battery backup that works if your power (9V 300MA DC adapter or 4 C batteries) goes out so you don't lose your work.
There are serial, parallel, and mouse ports on the back and an expansion port on the side.
It's pretty advanced for a "toy" laptop. If it had a high resolution screen or TV out it would be far more useful.
Apologies for the screenshots, taking pictures of an LCD like this is quite difficult with all of the reflections.
