It is. The screen although small is bright and sharp. Bigger could be nice, but it's cute this way. The other thing is that the feel of the whole thing is just right--clicky joystick, real arcade buttons. There are cheaper ways to make something like this, but if you want that authentic experience, this is probably what you would end up paying. The other cool learning experience here is that it's running linux under the hood. So you can ssh into it, you scp files into place, and you can run any linux things you want on it--you can make it into a pihole or a media server, etc. Lots of little learning experiences for your kids here. Add a bluetooth mouse and keyboard, and you can use it as a laptop.
