Learn More Fun, Customizable, and Colorful
The Disney Netpal by ASUS features two choices of stylishly designed lids; Disney Princess Pink boasts beautiful pink florals and Disney Magic Blue cleverly displays rows of miniature Mickey Mouse icons.
Kids can dress their desktops with more than 10 customizable themes inspired by popular characters from Disney and Disney·Pixar including Cars, Club Penguin, Disney Classic Characters, Disney Fairies, Disney Princesses, Vintage Mickey Mouse, Toy Story and WALL-E.
Themes that appeal to slightly older kids, such as the popular Disney Channel series Hannah Montana and Jonas Brothers, are also available. Favorite character icons can be attached to email addresses for more interactive communication.
Additional Disney-developed applications include Disney Mix for music and media management, and Disney Pix for photo customization and organization.
The Disney Pix application features fun Disney Bobblehead software, which lets kids insert images of their faces on top of bodies, download them into videos and postcards and play wacky moving dance scenes, for hours of fun.
The Radio Disney widget streams real-time music and lets kids simultaneously submit song requests, if they wish.
The Disney Netpal by ASUS also includes a driving game, number game, memory game, and photo scrapbook.  |  | Optimized for Web-Safety and Sports a Sleek Durable Design
The Disney Netpal by ASUS is designed to be kid-friendly, both in terms of durability and content permissions.
It’s rugged and durable, with a spill-proof keyboard that protects against inadvertent liquid spills. The Disney Netpal by ASUS’ ShockShield data protection guards against data loss when the computer is subject to impact.
The Disney Netpal also allows parents to create a web-safe computing environment with many parental control options.
Parents can pre-select email correspondence options, browsers, the websites their kids visit and the programs they use. These permissions can also be scheduled on a calendar, providing parents with a convenient, automated means of granting access on the days and times that they choose.
Parents can also pull up data to determine where children spent time, and for how long, in the Disney Browser.
Additional websites can be added for access, but only if the parent approves and submits the request within the password-protected system.  | 
| Easy-to-use Kid-friendly Disney Desktop, Applications and Widgets
The Disney Desktop installed on the Disney Netpal by ASUS is an easy-to-use interface specifically tailored to kids, with an intuitive visual interface and instructions that make it easy for kids to operate the computer.
Right out of the box, the Disney browser launches numerous kid-friendly Disney websites for kids to explore.
The Disney Desktop features a 2D “gadget tray” that displays bold visual icons for easy access to applications.
Rounding off the Netpal’s fun, kid-friendly features are a collection of 15 easily-accessible widgets, including a stopwatch, digital memo pad, which inserts “reminder notes” on the Disney Desktop, and a calculator.
The Netpal is also designed with portability in mind. Its 8.9-inch screen in a compact and light weight chassis helps kids to easily carry the Netpal to the school or a play date.
With 5 hours of battery life, built-in webcam, microphone and wireless internet, the Netpal can operate hours on end without being plugged into the wall.
By choosing Windows XP Home as the platform for the Disney Netpal by ASUS, kids can still enjoy this ultra-mobile mini-notebook as they grow older. The familiar and widely compatible Windows XP Home allows for future software installs of programs such as Microsoft Office (not included) to help them with more advanced school projects.
Getting a head start in school has never been more fun and easier. The Disney Netpal by ASUS is the perfect computer for kids to learn and grow up with.

Parent of a Little Princess August 29, 2010 Scott H. Wholaver Very cute, easy to use, great for kids, and awesome security features, so that the little ones aren't going where they shouldn't on the web.
Disney Netpal August 4, 2010 Skipdale Once you get it working, it is a nice product. Documentation is woefully incomplete and support from ASUS is virtually non- existent or wrong. Mine failed to boot upon initial start-up. After numerous unsuccessful tries with function keys, a sequence of F2 followed by F9 produced access to resident XP installation files. Executing a reinstall from there finally got the computer operating.
spillproof keyboard good, parental controls not so much April 25, 2010 Bekki J. Kahler i bought one for my 8 year old son and considering one for 6 year old daughter. Asus support does not have my recommendation though. Disney email in parental controls is not addressed in user manual and cannot figure out how to get it set up through my ISP (calls to ISP and Asus were not helpful at all!) so that part is not what I was looking for. If I can't get it set up to work properly with the parental controls I'm keeping it and just running without, the spill proof keyboard was worth the extra $20. The screensize is good for watching movies using external plugins.
Gift for 9 year old March 26, 2010 S. Matthews (Farmington, MO USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought this for my son's 9th birthday. He loves it and I love being able to control what he is subjected to online.
Great for 6-year-old son March 18, 2010 Latriza Petrie 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a cool little netbook for a young kid. My son loves it and I have to make him put it down. I give it a high rating with the exception of the parental controls. Sinces its Windows XP and IE 7 the controls are limited so I am using a trial version of NetNanny.
Other than that I would highly recommend the product but parents need to be a little computer savvy to setup.
