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.

 Leapster L-Max Girl Handheld November 10, 2008
Jennifer C. Shelton (Port Norris, NJ USA)
Fantastic product, very educational and fun at the same time. Well worth the money! Can be hooked up to your tv too.
WE LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And Couldn't Live Without it!!!!! September 15, 2008
Kirsten Labarge (St Charles, MO USA)
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.

Great and educational. It is very durable. My daughter has dropped it so many times and pulls it from the attached pencil. It takes a licking and keeps on ticking. We've bought some additional educational games.
 A good toy May 1, 2008
Pris (MD)
We bought this for our 4-year-old daughter and she loves it. The educational value really depends on the various games (purchased separately). The only reason I didn't give this toy 5 stars is b/c it goes through batteries (4 AA) very quickly. You can purchase a recharger from Leapster, but that is as expensive as the system itself. Overall, I would absolutely buy this again and would recommend it to any parent!
 UPDATING MY REVIEW! Bad, now GOOD February 28, 2008

Wrote a bad review about this product because I had so many problems with the TV hook-up, it would constantly come out. Returned two units and finally just exchanged it for a regular Leapster. Contacted Leapfrog several times, no help! Finally, I contacted all the departments with the same complaint. Within a day, I had someone from Leapster customer service calling me with a sincere apology and offered to replace the plug, AND gave us a complimentary cartridge of my choice. Unfortunately, I had already returned the L-max for the original, but still received another cartridge for our new regular unit. I am thankful for Leapfrog's acknowledgement of the problem and their willingness to fix the problem. I will continue to purchase from Leapfrog. They have outstanding products!
