Laptop's for Kids

Along with how young is too young for technology in regards to computers and laptops, there are educational laptops for kids as well as educational video games for kids.
Granted it's not something you want to get your kids addicted to early on, but in terms of educational games and fun learning techniques, it's a great wayto get your kids involved and interested in learning the core courses of the school system.
The V.Tech company has a number of great laptops for kids. Each has fun educational games that will entertain your child. V.Tech has laptops for babies, young toddlers, older toddlers, and young children, so you shouldn't have any problems finding a laptop for your child that fits his age.
I mean what child doesn't want to be a big kid like his mom or dad and play on his very own laptop?
But, even still is this an insane tactic to get kids to keep up with their studies by letting younger kids play tons of video games, or is it a common denominator to get them interested?
I haven't formed a full opinion, but I'd say I'm leaning towards a ridiculous tactic. I mean kids should be kids, you can make learning fun in so many ways besides a laptop or video games. Yea, they like that sort of thing, but it's straining on their eyes and can cause problems socially. What 4 year old is going to want to play outside, if you let them play on their own laptop? I know at that age, I'd rather play on a laptop than outside.
I think laptops for kids can be detrimental in some ways, but again I will admit, it's a great way to get them interested in learning.
I think the best way to manage the downfalls of technology too young, would be to put restrictions on how often and how long the child would get to play on the laptop or video game.
Anyway, what are your thoughts?
