Me: ok great

Me: Mom lets go get the computer
Mom: NOW WHEN DID I EVER SAY WE WILL GET A COMPUTER
Me: Yestrd-
Mom: NO I NEVER SAID THAT!
What the fu-
Yes.. I’m sixteen and my parents say "Hey, if you buy a computer ima gonna kill you"
I have OS 9
I’ve wanted a computer for six years my parents never get me one -_- on my birthday they didn’t get me one either my birthday was three days ago all they did was order pizza
Wilson Rothman: 6 – 8 years old, it’s time to have a Famicom (family computer).
Thanks for this news he he he
Oops got it 210 but 15 inch intel core i5
🙂
That girl is so cute and if you didn’t know him I am looking for laptops I am 8 years old and I want a colored laptop my brother is gonna buy me a laptop when I get my next report card and it’s the same grade or better
He just loves parental controls
I have a computer! A MacBook air.
I wish I had one but, it feels like my older sister gets everything.
Sorry that’s Google dentist pronounced drive good it’s Google drive
How old is that girl I love touchscreen computers
If my kids wanted a computer, and they were a good kid. I would give them a GOOD computer, like a gaming pc. Most parents cheap out and get there kids like a dell computer, but i know you cant do anything with it,
The moment I downloaded minecraft on the family computer my parents instantly gave me my own pc
1:57 Whose child presses an ipad this dang hard? If I saw a child do that, they wouldn’t be seeing a device until they learn how to properly use it. 😂
Day 3: Ahhhhhh i hate this Game!!!!
I am 10 years old my parents doesn’t brought me any computer 😫
This dudes eyes bother me
But I already have a MacBook Pro 16-inch (not flexing)
i’m way older than the kid in this video and i still have to use a 7 year old hand-me-down laptop with missing screws and a screen that you can barely see on 🙁 also it has the same operating system as the computer shown in the video at 0:48, and that computer was made in 2010
i know i sound ungrateful but still
i just gave my kid a windows xp and his face whent 😡
just me here crying because my nan will never buy me a computer and we don’t even have wifi.
My cousin sister is 8 years old and she owns her own laptop 🤐🤐
I NEED A LAPTOP BC I KEEP DISCONNECTING IN ROYALE HIGH
Why kids Want computers: Roblox BAHAHAH
Me: im 9. Me watching this video: i feel bad for these kids, im watching this on a three screen monitor windows 10 with another laptop right next to me and a big mounted microphone
(how i got this: me and my dad are extremely addicted to coding)
why do kids like touchscreens so much?
chromebooks? are they good for porn ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I hate Chrome OS because it can’t run 480p and it can’t run Linux files and it is a Linux operating system.
It is safe to put laptop near children,but better not do that at all because the children can be careless and drop the laptop from a high table or even spill water to the laptop and getting it wet
no lie my 5 year old twin cousins have their OWN NEW macbook pros and i’m 13 not having my own laptop. i’m actually very
very
very
very
jealous lol
Not if they don’t flush and pee outside the toilet smh
I had my first pc when I was 7
I have a 1.1k setup
I’ll just buy my kid one of those chrome books that schools have to play cool math
The laptop touchscreen ones he he he he he he he he I don’t even know what I’m saying he all the time
I’m in 5th grade and have a laptop but I just use it for playing and studying
when i was 16 my parents let me build my pc
Im 7 and i have my phone
my parents don’t trust me with a computer since when i get to use one i always get a virus on it
I wish you could convince my parents though
If an ipad is NOT stable maybe you shouldn’t SMACK it in the face
children need a pc of full ownership of pc cuz of COVID 19
And no Minecraft is deal breaker some
Google: I’m about ruin this man whole career
(Chromeos now supports Android apps which means Minecraft is available
so which one would be good for a 8 year old school work she uses Microsoft for her essays and do homework for school and for parent to use on for basic use
I Had My First Laptop When I Was 10, I Loved It So Much!! It Was a MacBook Pro☺️
you have to tell them "play on the laptop not with it because that’ll make it safer" (;
