Comment from : unlokia

as someone who had a handful of the v basic toy vtech computers in the early 00s, the pc endeavour one wouldve been a blast to fiddle around with at least for the word processor so i wouldnt have to keep begging for time on the family computer to write my little first grade stories lmaooo
Comment from : Fortuna Major

For years I wondered about this one computer look-alike that I had as a kid Just by watching this and seeing some of how these toys were styled, I remember having one of these from the late 80s In just a few minutes I finally figured out what I had It was the Vtech Smart Start Speller Thank you, @NostalgiaNerd!!

Comment from : F r a n k i e

Had the talking whiz kid from vtech (i guess it was another name for the precomputer notebook) briefly as a kid loved that thing but my parents gave it away
Comment from : Majextic

My mom said that every electronic toy i got, i immediately took apart without even playing with it Later i became an electronics engineer Guess it helped my career to be the kid in the neighborhood that can fix radios 😂
Comment from : Alain Pfaeffli

I have a vtech precomputer 1000 & it came out in 1988, not 1989 Sorry for nitpicking!😂
Comment from : Paranoid Genius

I had a talking whiz kid as a four year old in the nineties the only thing it was terrible is it had cards So if you lost them or bent them it wouldn't work
Comment from : Krushak

Comment from : Sebastian Wardana

Comment from : Sebastian Wardana

Comment from : Jionni Greco

I am so lucky that I got hand-me-down computers early on I had my Amiga around 5 and I guees my first Windows machine around 8 It was fun being able to do everything with Computers, while the older generation struggled at opening Word or Solitair XD
Comment from : maximumrisk2004

I used to have the PreComputer 1000 but didn't have the manual, so not knowing any of the commands, the programming mode was absolutely useless to me I think the only good thing about the toy to me was my first time with a full-size keyboard
Comment from : Will Man

I'd rather have the "laptop" design over the tablet, which damages the kids vision and neck due to bad posturing
Comment from : Azisk Garion

my two kids have had loads v tech gadgets growing up and everyone they have loved me i think they are rubbish kids love them i thin they are awsome Simple fact like the minority gamers saying switch is rubbish my kids will play that every day over my ps5 or series x
Comment from : The Mad Moderator

I feel like so many of these things are basically demeaning to kids I mean when I was like 6 or 7 my dad got the first iMac when it came out , and I was already teaching myself a lot on there, we had a family friend who was into hacking and pirating and stuff … thank goodness my parents were cool enoughor inattentive enough sometimes, to let me just zone into that early computer learning and exploring the software, and eventually hardware taking them apart and putting back together!brI feel like it’d be a disservice to a kid to give them something like this I mean now it’s a whole different story though because your other option is giving them access to an always-on, always listening and watching and social media creepiness and…ugh Man I grew up at just the right time for what I experienced! Lol
Comment from : Jordan Howell

Fun to think that when our kids reach out age, they're going to be nostalgic about the "simple" tech we have now and wonder if their kids will appreciate just how much has changed in 30 years Hell we as 90s kids don't really appreciate the tech before us Imagine a time before we went to the moon or even a transistor I'm 34, my parents were born in '56 They were just little when the transistor was invented Go back to our grandparents and they couldn't imagine a world without heavier than air travel and wouldn't grasp the technological breakthroughs to make that happenbrbrI had a vtech precomputer prestige and that's where I learnt BASIC I remember being in a doctor waiting room and pulling it out All the adults looked at my mom like she was crazy because they thought it was an actual factual multi-thousand dollar laptop Lol nope, I'm secretly typing swear words and giggling about it on my 2" screen
Comment from : Christopher Thompson

I have fond memories of my vetch laptop When I was a young kid it was that and my OG gameboy I played with the most
Comment from : ngantnier

"SHIT PIC" xD
Comment from : Varibyss13

That grandstand my first computer was a big help for primary school maths, my maths is so atrocious now :(
Comment from : Peter James Mmbago

So the vtech computer playing doom in the thumbnail was just clickbait? It worked And also, there goes a dislike
Comment from : Linkale_

my brother had Precomputer 1000, God I feel old remembering that
Comment from : Sneggle Derlickton

I still have a working pre computer 1000 I wish I still had my learning window from when I was a kid
Comment from : Joshua Reynolds

i had that one and hearing it say choose your activity really brings me back lol
Comment from : JTWP

When I was around 10 or 12, I had a Laser 128, an Apple IIe compatible computer by VTech (it was sold at Sears) It was my first computer Many years later, I got my young daughter one of those little toy computers with different programs on it
Comment from : Merc Fredis

Many fond memories of writing basic code on my old Precomputer1000 it was horribly brutal with that display, but still worked well for simple programsbrI would typically write out a whole program on paper before keying it in
Comment from : Ron Smith

As a musician, I can gladly report that the Style Pad's music iis/i out of tune
Comment from : AetheralMeowstic

it would be fun to find a busted one of those and rebuild it with raspberry pi
Comment from : Arturiens

I remember seeing stuff like this in Toys R Us as a young teen in the 90s and feeling sorry for kids who had to deal with them instead of having access to a real computer It is cool that you can do BASIC stuff in some of these though
Comment from : Rob Cohen

I had a little vtech laptop as a kid & trying to find more info on it led me here :) love old tech like this, and your commentary is top notch!
Comment from : ros_sauce

Whoa old school 😊brbrbrbrbr61022
Comment from : Gracekim25

These things bring back bad memories 20 + years ago My grandma favored and spoiled my cousin with a real laptop She bought me one of these VTech computers when I asked for one
Comment from : 801_ Adventure_Trek

I'm honestly surprised V-Tech was still a thing in the 2010s I remember seeing them as a kid in the 90s My dad was an IT Admin though so i just thrown straight into the deep with MS-DOS, than go through one of these
Comment from : Chiel Voswijk

But can they run doom?
Comment from : Elijah Schlievert

I got my son one of these at 2 years old He’s now 16 and the lead robotics programmer at school
Comment from : Sonic_1000

Good grief, these are hilarious! I vaguely remember them as the toy laptops that nobody took seriously In contrast, by the mid-90s, people were using Commodore 64s for doorstops For a few dollars you could give your kid a more fulfilling computer experience playing with BASIC and LOGO -- with much better sound and graphics -- if he was actually interested in computers and didn't just want "his own laptop" -- JC
Comment from : Basic Bites

I had a pre-computer Notebook I used that thing a lot lol
Comment from : Matt Carter

Can you play Red Dead 2 on this?br16 KB of ram!
Comment from : Stephanie Tremblay

I remember having one of those laptops, with a slide out handle and a two tone grey plastic case
Comment from : Gatsbys Garage

I had plenty of Vtech computers and laptops back in the day (although none were any of these shown), but man, out of all your videos, this one hits the hardest far as nostalgia If only I can turn back time and relive these memories again! Thanks for the great content!
Comment from : Tookey Dookey

I had the 1996 Pre Computer Prestige and with the mouse and cartridges I totally thought I was the coolest kid on the block!😂
Comment from : Sheena Boisvert🌷

Comment from : MACGYVER7400

I love the annotation in the closed captions of the soundtrack 🤣
Comment from : Evelyn Paplauskas

Where do you even FIND the PC Endeavor anyways?
Comment from : Voluxian

I had a silver VTECH laptop with a blue stripe down the bottom of the lid, and it had the coolest music!!! Nothing copyrighted, but still fun!!! I don’t have it anymore but it was the best thing to do when I was bored brbrI do remember it had a silver V on the front as well Looked like a MacBook with a small green display…what a waste of all that space
Comment from : Albert Cornstarch

The style pad had a dope wizard rpg though
Comment from : Moms Berettas

I had a v -tech what a trip down memory lane lol
Comment from : People Wired

You always felt bad for that kid with the VTech handheld
Comment from : Edward135i

I remember other kids at my school getting these, whereas I was given a Pentium III desktop dual-booting NT 40 and 98 (which is still in perfect working order, albeit now with just 98)

Jazz It feeds my soul like a million wet pickles
Comment from : _black_milk

Am I the only one that wants someone to gut one of these and do something? Because the shells look neat
Comment from : Andrew Singleton

These look interesting, but I was an older kid during the 90's and I used the real thing at school, so when I was 12 or 13 I got my first real PC at home It ended up being a victim of my constant trial and error experimenting, but at least it recovered fast and I became good at fixing Windows problems because of it Computers rarely misbehave when I'm around 😅
Comment from : CHRISMENENDEZ

Viewer Interaction!
Comment from : APalladium

I always hoped in some misguided and truly Well, misguided way that perhaps I could use one of those as a word processor Where the kid could save a homework essay that they worked on all week and print it They would appreciate the "keyboarding"it would print and look just fine with wild mwrgingmsv as the first truly computerized homework!
Comment from : Louis Lipp

The people who made my $6 wireless handset made laptops?
Comment from : Khorne_of_the_Hill

Comment from : Rixtronix LAB

I used to have a Pre Computer Prestige that my older cousin gave me when I was 6! I loved it! I’d always be clicking away with spelling, math, typing, etcbrThe VTech devices these days are so disappointing!!

Comment from : sondra york

Comment from : Justa Stranger

Wonder what difference between vtech and micro vtech is
Comment from : Rory Baker

Fat kid from iron Man 3 had a bunch of homemade computers made from a bunch of them it was funny
Comment from : RICK NICK

I wonder if these things can be hacked to run homebrew on them That would be cool!
Comment from : FoxBlocks

The first PC my dad bought was a VTECH 486 SX 25, with windows 31 in 1992, it cost over £1000 I was laughing saying you bought a toy computerit was actually pretty good😊❤️f19 stealth fighter, doom etc
Comment from : TechTinkering

My first “console” was the vtech vsmile, and I’m pretty sure I had one of those learning computers
Comment from : Allan Lyles

I’m looking for the Vtech Laptop that was released in the 90’s, it was yellow and grey, it was sold by a catalog called Fingerhut brbrI was hoping to find it here but can’t find it Hopefully the nostalgia nerd can assist
Comment from : TheClassic0074

well now with the Genio, there will be people that will install windows on it
Comment from : KirbyCraft

I very vaguely remember playing on the PC notebook 1993 when I was 4 years old, the only thing I remember from that thing was that lady bug telling meto choose an activity
Comment from : angry turtle

That “precomputer” has a better keyboard than most laptops today
Comment from : Richard Servello

Mistitled You stole that time from me
Comment from : David Cascadian

Whopping Whopping? Whopping! WHOPPING
Comment from : Nils Ververs Lübke

The VTech Socrates had a Z80 processor running at 357 MHz, but their next console the VSmile would have a way more powerful 16-bit SunPlus SPG-240 and would ramp the speed up all the way to a whopping 27 MHz
Comment from : davidcanadianperson

Need a kit to use the pre-computer 1000 keyboard to upgrade most any Spectrum computer
Comment from : Dr Reason

I had a Power Pad Plus It was a gift from my grandpa
Comment from : cruel scientist

For those who were curious about the machine that is a keyboard that connects to the TV: It's just a NES with an internal rom that contains activities
