The Convertible Classmate PC is available for 145 phones via Irish Autism Action mobile phone recycling scheme.
The Convertible Classmate PC is an excellent piece of equipment for any child. As a mom I appreciate the built in protective cover on the outside of the device. The buttons on the keyboard have large letters/numbers which is excellent especially for children. The carry handle is an ingenious addition to the laptop and provides a very secure way to carry the device.
It also boasts a touch screen, on screen key board and comes complete with its own stylus. The screen can be turned around and flipped over to convert it into a tablet. It comes fully loaded with educational software and also an eReader. This is an excellent addition as it would allow the downloading of school books as ebooks. As a family we love our CCPC. In fact this review is being typed on it.
One huge bonus about this little gem is the huge amount of storage space on it. Microsoft are currently working on a New operating system called Windows 8 which is due to be released in the fourth quarter of 2012. Alongside this they are currently creating apps for use on Windows 8. The CCPC boasts a 160 GB hard drive. That is a colossal amount of storage space considering the iPad comes with between 16 GB and 64 GB storage.
In conclusion I am very impressed with the Convertible Classmate PC. It is easy to use and our son loves it. It is child friendly. It is an invaluable piece of equipment in our home especially going forward with the coming of Window 8 and Windows apps. It would also be an invaluable tool in any classroom. A huge thumbs up from our Family. A massive thank you to IAA for giving us the opportunity to collect for it. A 5 star rating for a 5 star piece of equipment.
