Which is better, this one or LeapFrog Scribble and Write?

This is better. The scribble section of the leap frog model is not very accurate

This one by far, it is VERY durable too! This taught my twins how to write, and it has shape drawing etc. Great price for a good teaching toy!

No the LeapTop is for learning letters and vocabulary. For learning numbers I bought the LeapFrog Count & Draw.

Hi -I would recommend the V-tech tote'n'go laptops to just about anyone in the pre-reading stage of learning. It is not as glamorous as the leapfrog stuff, but it is great for letter recognition and other pre-literacy skills. That's in the twenty buck range. The Leapster 2 by leapfrog also does not need a home pc to set it up, though you can use one to access some of the advanced features it is completely unnecessary from a child's perspective to enjoy the system. Those retail for about seventy, but are regularly on sale for forty or fifty. The cartridge games are expensive, but do go on sale from time to time. My daughter loved her v-tech laptop and she loves her Leapster too. Hi -I would recommend the V-tech tote'n'go laptops to just about anyone in the pre-reading stage of learning.

Mmm i think not... :( because it's more useful for kids who are learning writing and reading... more for less children from 5-9 years old...

Not sure what kind of jack the leapfrog has but my daughter uses them with her kindle, seems pretty standard....not sure if that's helpful

I am an aspiring creative writer and bought this selfsame Chromebook.It's very good for writing, so long as you're not too attached to Scrivener, Microsoft Word, or other such writing programs downloaded from the Web.I have found Google Docs to be a very good substitute to Word, with an added benefit of easy collaboration with other writers.The Chrome app store also has some really good distraction free writing apps (Pillarbox is my current favorite), and programs like Evernote come in handy.The keyboard is really good and the battery life is more than decent.

It can be used like any stylus, I believe. My four year old uses it on the iPad On non- leapfrog apps.

Yes, I think most games for the leapsters use a stylus. This one uses it a lot, to trace letters and such.

True about pricing. I would just get the Leap Frog Letter Factory Phonics (under $19 the day I'm writing this) and attach magnets to the back if you want the option of sticking it to something.

Interchangeable with what? If I'm reading this correctly, and that you're asking about interchanging between the different leapfrog systems, then I believe the answer is yes. My sister has the one like this for the fridge, and its letters fit into the one my kid has, which is one that comes with a bucket. Does that help?

I believe it's called the reading pen. It's used with the Leapfrog books and reds out loud by touching the words.

I would say probably not. The leappad2 is pretty much the same. It does have a little faster processor, little more memory, and the camera is a little better. It also has two cameras. But if you have the first one its not really a big difference.

I would suggest the Fisher Price table as we had the LeapFrog table and it lasted less than a year before it stopped working. I am a (rare, I think!) parent that does not allow her children to abuse their toys, books, etc. and they are taught to respect their belongings. All that to say that there has been no rough play with it. It looks absolutely brand new. I've changed the batteries several times using different brands each time to no avail. I contacted LeapFrog customer service twice and received an answer of "change the batteries" and "our warranty only lasts 90 days". Needless to say, they were no help whatsoever. I even asked for a wiring diagram so that I can try to pinpoint the problem myself, but they said one wasn't available. They did send a 15% discount code as consolation. In my opinion, it's not enough to purchase an expensive LeapFrog product again. This was a very disappointing situation as this table was my daughter's favorite toy and she enjoyed it while it lasted.

Thank you for the feedback. I went ahead and bought the V-Tech only because I had read the stylus sometimes didn't work on the leapster and I can see my son freaking out when it doesn't work. We are going on a long trip (overseas) so I wanted something to entertain him. The Leapster might be in our future as well however.

I use a PC. Scrivener was originally developed for the MAC and it gets raves. I love it on PC but apparently it can do much more on the MAC. I don't know anything about other programs nor the iMac.

I've used mine for that and it works okay, but I think that (despite the cost of special paper) the LiveScribe series does notes better. The inkling is better for sketching/drawing as the potential for a vector output is there.

unless you like the camera feature - I say leapster 2.. it is simplier and has more games. My Son got it the month it came out ( his 3rd b day) and has had it almost 2 years.. LOVES it!!
