I have this and I think it's super adorable. I had the same computer growing up.
I agree with the disproportionate thing. Look at the size of the keys and the mouse, and then look at your hands. I never noticed it when I was little, though.
I think the report screen it comes with is a lot better than the clock/address book thing they've done with the doll computers they've made since then, and a lot more realisitic. I hope they will go in this direction with the next doll computer.
I give it a A+ for cuteness, realism, playability, and nostalgia... but must subtract a letter grade for the scaling.
A funny story... I'm rounding up the AGoT accessories that I'm not planning on using anymore and giving them to my 9-year-old sister... when I was talking to her on the phone I asked her if she wanted this computer, and she told me she already had it. And I had to say, "No you don't, it's four years older than you are" and felt very old. I think she will be amazed at what computers used to look like.
