Asus Disney Netpal - Great Parental control

Two giants have come together to originate a netbook designed for children 6 - 12 years old. Disney and Asus teamed up to originate the Disney Netpal. The Netpal includes over 24 parental control options for parents and a Disney theme browser for the kids. The Netpal comes in two designed lids; Disney Princess Pink that has pink florals and Disney Magic Blue which has rows of minute Mickey Mouse icons.

Other things parents can do

• Pre-select email correspondence options.
• Pre-select browsers.
• Pre-select websites their kids visit and the programs they use.
• Parents can program days and times their kids have way to these programs.
• The Disney browser gives the parents an easy way to check where their child has been on the internet.
• Rugged and durable.

• Windows Xp allows for time to come software installs as your child grows older and requires separate needs.

I've listed the pros but what are the cons?

The keyboard is small. I have an Asus netbook, which I love, but the keyboard is small. Many times I wished I had smaller fingers. Other than that my netbook works great. I read on a few forums that Disney says you can upgrade to 2Gb memory, but in reality they are saying you can't at this time. I assume this will be corrected in the future.

I can see where setting all the parental options would be time consuming, but once you get them set you should only have to do maintenance. If you are thinking of buying your child their first computer, the Disney Netpal is assuredly worth checking into.
