Funputer

The Funputer is a children's toy laptop. In Vehicular Manslaughter, Tom is forced to use it since Joy is using his real laptop for webcam chatting.

Appearence
The most noticible thing about the Funputer are its eyes, which move around, blink, and even close slowly when the battery dies. The screen is very small, and can display three colors: green, blue, and black.

The Funputer's keyboard consists of a number pad, an okay button, and a cancel button. Despite how simple it is, Tom manages to write an energy plan and Dr. Michael Ian Black's eulogy on it.

Features

 * The Funputer speaks in a synthesized voice, albeit poorly. For example, when the Funputer dies, it says it will "shut down in three second".
 * An auto-correct feature is present, but it has very bad detection, as it mistakes the word "who" for "horsey".
 * The onboard storage is incredibly small, and can only hold one text document at a time.
 * Even though it's just a toy, and has no actual graphics, the Funputer has the ability of loading Power Presentations. It can even be hooked up to a video projector.

Demise
In Friendship Alliance, a quick pan-out reveals that the Funputer was destroyed, and the keyboard rewired to work with Tom's computer.

According to lead artist Chris Shapan: "I felt kinda bad...This prop, from the first season, was one of the cuter bits on the show. I had to bust it up and kill it."
