Amazon.com Product Description
The award-winning original LeapFrog Leapster handheld takes it up a notch with the Leapster L-Max for kids ages 4 to 10 years. This handheld features dual-screen action (players interact with the handheld screen and watch the results on their TV screen), multiple skill levels, tailored tutorials, and unlimited potential for educational fun. Slip in one of Leapster's many separately sold software games ("Letters on the Loose," "Rock the World," "Madagascar," "Dora the Explorer Wildlife Rescue," etc.) and follow spoken instructions. Youngsters won't even realize they're learning how to write their letters, identifying plants and animals, recognizing mathematical concepts, matching shapes, performing logical reasoning, mastering diphthongs, and even expressing ideas musically and artistically!  | | Plug the toy into a TV for dual-screen action—and twice the fun! | In case you didn't catch that, this groovy teaching toy can be hooked up directly to a TV (necessary cables are included) so that kids can experience all the fun and learning on a bigger screen. When hooked up to a television, the system goes into dual-screen mode: the L-Max puts one image on the TV and a second one on its own screen, allowing players to interact with the handheld while they watch the action unfold above. An example would be the players writing the letter B on the handheld game and then seeing an animated dance the B does on the TV screen. This action is controlled by using the multi-directional control pad or by placing the attached stylus directly to the toy's interactive touch screen. When a TV is not handy (possibly when traveling between destinations) the portable game can be played in single screen mode. The full color system features a backlit screen for easy viewing and a headphone jack for quiet play.  | | comfortably shaped for little hands with safe, rounded edges and small enough to store or travel easily. | The Leapster L-Max helps teach through four exciting modes:
Educational Game Player. Lets players learn essential school skills with leveled games that teach reading, math, and critical thinking skills.
Digital Art Studio. Encourages creative thinking with dozens of art tools and step-by-step lessons that let children draw, write, and create anything they can imagine.
Electronic Book Reader. Inspires a love for reading via electronic storybooks that teach literacy skills, story comprehension, vocabulary, and phonetic awareness.
Interactive Video Player. Develops fundamental reading and math skills by playing interactive videos that encourage children to participate in the action. The device itself is comfortably shaped for little hands with safe, rounded edges, and is small enough to store and travel easily. A bonus cartridge with six educational games is included. Games offer multiple skill levels and teach kids letters, words, plants, animals, shapes, and basic math. The L-Max requires special cartridges (sold separately) for dual-screen play, but can work with existing Leapster titles. Older titles won't play on dual screens, though, and may not project to the TV. Four AA batteries are required, but not included.

 Excellent Learning System December 21, 2008
Linda K. Gibson (Florida)
I bought this one for my daughter because she has had another one for 2 years and just loves it, finally wore out the pen but the touch screen still works... a friend wants the old one for her child now. My daughter has epilepsy and is not allowed to play video games but begged and begged for something to play like all the other kids. I get to cheat a little by letting her play this system for an hour or 2 a day, I figuer that if she can LEARN something while playing these games.... it is worth it. Her neorologist is not thrilled, but has said as long as it is very limited it is ok. She may never be able to play video games, but hey... they mush your brain anyway, the systems are way to expensive and she gets to play outside alot and get fresh air!!! She has not had a seizure for over 4 years now and has been off medication for over a year. Hope this helps but please ask you doctor if you have epilepsy before using any product that could cause a seizure.
Happy mother of happy 8 year old.
Great find!!! December 15, 2008
Teesh (Chesterfield, VA)
I don't know where I've been but I'm just catching on to this product. Educational and fun how can you go wrong. The leapfrog site has this and the other systems for half price now and the games are discounted as well. Being on a tight budget this Christmas I wouldn't have been able to buy this and a few games at these prices. If you do a goggle search for discount codes you can get an additional 15 percent off on the leapfrog site too. Merry Christmas Everyone!!!

WE LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And Couldn't Live Without it!!!!! September 15, 2008

My daughter received a L-Max for her 3rd birthday with a princess game. Since then she has collected most of the games and is now 6-yrs-old. My now 2-yr-old son had adopted his sister's L-Max and we had to invest in a second one.
I know my son doesn't get the educational part too much but I feel he is on the way and as everyone know we learn by doing. He copies his sister now all the time (as much as she says she hates it she loves it).
We have at least one with us at all times and it has saved us more than once from melt downs. I recommend it to everyone. L-Max doesn't have the bit for the internet but my daughter asks a lot of questions as she plays so I am comfortable with where she is.
If you are on the cusp of making a decision you will not regret it. All my friends now have them for their kids. We thought we could share games but that doesn't work because the kids play them all the time.
