This amazing little kids' notebook is just 2.5 cm thick (about an inch) and likely weighs in at less than even the MacBook Air. It will never get hot, the battery will never run down and the keyboard can be configured to any layout you like, from QWERTY to AZERTY to Dvorak.

You'll never have to worry about your offspring going crazy on your credit card at the App Store, nor cringe when they stab their sticky, stubby fingers at the "screen." The only thing you might have to replace from time to time is the "trackpad," which has been replaced by sticks of chalk for scrawling on the blackboard screen.

The device is called the i-wood (of course) and comes from Germany by way of kids' store Rasselfisch. You could buy it for your young child, or – even better – you could swap it into your teenager's proper laptop case when he goes back to college. Hilarity will ensue.
