would you buy this for an 8th grader

Hi! If you want your 8th grader to have this I don't think it's a bad choice at all. It's a pretty decent laptop computer and just about anybody at that age would be very lucky to have one. Have a nice day, Emily! :)

yes...and 8th grader should be mature enough to work on this computer...my guys are 9 and 11 and they both work it very well...

I bought mine for a 9 year old (her Birthday) and she loves it! I think an 8 year old would too.

I believe this is more appropriate for younger children. I bought it for my 2 & 5 year olds last year. They loved it, but the now-6 year old only has slight interest in it by now. Also, the average 8 year old might find the size a little small (but most kitchenettes I've seen in the stores are all about this size and age level).

I would say yes. I bought it for my 8 year old goddaughter and she loves it. Any kid who loves horses would like the cover and the inside is simply a diary with lines to write on.

I think that it is appropriate for a college student. We bought it for an 11 year old grandson. His father used it more than he did!

This piano is probably too small for an 8 year old, but it has so many features that it might be alright for an 8 year old, especially if that child loves music. (Might have to sit on the floor to play it) I brought this for a 2 year old, who was really too young for this type piano because he has yet to comprehend all the feature that this piano has but he will grow into it.C

It is for kids ages 8 and up. But I think younger kids could use it as well.

It wouldn't hurt if you did buy it. Yeah I'd say go ahead and buy it, at age 16 you've still have at least 5 more years of growing taller anyway.

i would have to agree that it it probably for a child aged 8 or above who is mechanically inclined. lots of small parts. need patience and the ability to work with mechanical objects. my 12 year old got it last year (?) and now has already out grown it.....but he is very "engineer minded". he creates new and wonderful things with these pieces, his lego technics and his k-nex.

Not at all! I bought mine for my 2nd grade granddaughter. She's among the tallest in the 2nd grade. She loves it.

I think it would be great for an 8 y.o. boy. These are definitely not toys. They are real tools. I (the mom) actually use them when I need a tool. They are very functional and a great size for kids.

It sort of depends on the modelling talent of the 8 year old. If he/she is a typical one, I would say no unless you help by doing all the work. This model requires advanced modeling skills and I suspect would be a huge challenge for an 8 year old. Of course, you could buy it and stash it for 5 or 6 years. In the interim, look for a less complex model. There are several available so best to check a couple of stores (on-line or face to face). Good luck.Clyde

Yes! I bought it for my 8 year old son but my 13 year old step-son said he wished he would have got one too.

I think a teen would outgrow this really quick. If he were 7 or 8 I'd say go for it, but since he's headed into teenage years, I think you'd be wasting your money.

I guess is a good option. I bought it for my nephew, but she is 2 years old, and for now she starts to play with this kind of things, but for a boy of 8 years I think is good.

I think most highschool orchestras would want something slightly more upscale. Unfortunately as with most musical instruments you get what you pay for. If the student has never played violin previously this would be an excellent choice, but if they are outgrowing their old violin then this would probably be considered pretty substandard.

It would be perfect for middle schoolers! Inexpensive and does waaaaay more than an iPad does.
