I got this computer for my grandson, he uses it with supervision with his mom and dad, and it has really helped him jumpstart his learning through the great variety of apps that are available on it. It is easy for  him to use, and he just would spend all day on it if he were allowed! The battery life, touchscreen and other features are as good as I would expect to see on comparable machines made by other companies, I work in public schools and have a good bit of experience with kids and how they use these technologies and I would recommend the Tanoshi Scholar, particularly if you want or need the parental controls to help keep your kids on task!
