Kid Computer today announced its Kids Cybernet Station, an all-in-one child/student-friendly workstation. The workstations feature Intel processors, Windows 7, touch-screen monitor, and a variety of pre-loaded software. Setup is advertised to be simple – unpack, plug in the power, keyboard, and mouse and push the power button. Windows 7 has parental controls that let parents control what their children can use, which websites they can visit, during what times they can use the computer, and more.
The Kids Cybernet Station comes pre-loaded with a variety of software that does not require a CD to run. Examples of packages include:
- Early Learning Package- for ages 2 to 5 (toddler to pre-k)
