I punch my computer when i got rage playing a fortnite and after punching kissing it XD
It seems to me, but buying a traveling computer for children (as I understand it) or an iPad for fun seems a little silly to me. Maybe there is a cheaper option (just buy a smartphone)?
Advertising trash devices. Roasting good devices. (don’t call me an isheep)
My moms best friend has 4 kids
The grandma has a laptop and lets them use it. The 11 year old boy never lets the 8 year old use it
LIKE WHAT THE HECK MAN ITS NOT YOURS
I showed this to my mom
bruh…
there is a tip.
“well i need it because of school and (insert your hobby which will give you a job)”
fun fact, i will tell that to my dad. for a macbook pro.
Get a gaming a laptop
Bought my children an Imac for there room 5 years ago. I can report that it is still in good condition!!!!!
I didn’t get my first computer until I was 18. Lucky.
Just use a tablet
2019 anyone?
Bring it up to date? If it was an even semi-decent laptop for its time, then it’s not going to need any intensive performance upgrades for doing shit like browsing the web.
Ehem ehem -classic.minecraft.net-
HAHA LOL THE FIRST IS SOO FUNNY GET OFF MY PC LOL
I bought myself a razer Blade laptop.
I bought a iMac or what its called well my dad did.

0:05 HEY WHY ARE YOU KID USING A LAPTOP YOU HAVE A DESKTOP GODDAMMIT
Since when didnt chromebooks have minecraft these bad boys are rockin android marshmallow 6.0 just modded so its a laptop also since when couldnt you use a script to remove parentel control software
Just don’t go cheap Get Something made to last I would say a macbook air 2018/2019 is perfect
Don’t listen to that guy, get Samsung!
Im 9 and i just gut a new macbook pro its very good!!!!!
Ipads they are not laptops
i have windows 8 in my computer
This was a huge mistake
*chromebooks?*
what are you, broke?
How much u want to bet no parent watched this
why do they need a computer when their not going to take care of it anyways? even if your going to buy them a computer it does not have to be new. used is the same, maybe a few marks, but its like 150-300 dollars for used.
Even if I saved up for my own laptop my mom will think I’m waisting my money
I have my own computer….
Parents like is it and it said once to get their self a computer am I be asked to be good they would just do game they don’t need to go on yours because Yanni is they go on yours and they will actually find out the information of your company and stuff like that with a sister
I wish MrBeast could buy me a laptop
I got a MacBook Air when I was 10 🤦🏻♂️
What is the point of parental controls?
YOU LOOK LIKE MAKE:
I JUST NEED A LAPTOP 💻!!!!!!!
No child NEEDS a laptop…what ever happened to good old fashioned reading and playing with toys? Parents need to interact with their kids more smh
Even if you say if that 6 year old laptop would be amazing for kids… I don’t think it is very AMAZING FOR ME… I’m very, very good at technology. That’s why
Best video ever thanks for posting it my dad bought me a windows surface and a google infinite pad thanks🙏🏻
My father left his phone on the table and I brought fishes on his fish game
I really needed device 😆 My Family Had a computer 5 years old
It sucks so laggy
I had gaming pc when I was 3
Kids use computers to watch pr0n
Mom: What do you want for your birthday
Me: A 5000$ gaming pc
Mom:You already have a Windows XP laptop
I got my own computer at 9 years old and its a gaming computer not a laptop
Look at these 6 year olds with gaming PCs while I’m over here with a old 1.8 ghz laptop begging for a pc and never getting one
You should probably install the newest mac os mac os high Sierra
*All the kids in the comments trying to feel special because they can build a computer*
