It may sound strange to you that Toshiba is releasing a laptop specially built for kids, but their reasoning actually makes a lot of sense since the company knows the Holiday season is coming up and, as they actually state, one is four parents want to buy a laptop for their school aged children, so why not take advantage of this situation, and some market share along with it, and intro the Satellite L635 Kids'.

Toshiba says this laptop was designed with kids in mind so it features an easy to clean wipeable keyboard and a no-gloss Dura-cross textured finish that resists fingerprints as well as special software that helps parents protect their kids from dangers lurking online.

This software suite is actually made up of KidZui, an Internet browser designed for children, and Net Nanny as well as two Disney movies and the LEGO Batman game, to ad a bit of entertainment to the mix.

And the best thing about the Satellite L635 Kids' is this thing is actually a full-fledged notebook coming in with 13.3-inch HD display, Intel Celeron P4600 processor, 2GB of RAM, a DVD drive, and 250GB of storage.

"The laptop has traditionally been a device conceived and built for adults, and devices currently being marketed to kids are either netbooks or toy-based computers," said Jeff Barney, vice president and general manager, Toshiba America Information Systems, Digital Products Division.

At $499 this doesn't sound as a bad deal at all, but, unfortunately, Toshiba has announced the Satellite L635 Kids' will be available exclusively trough Best Buy stores.
