Disney Netpal by ASUS - 8.9-Inch Magic Blue Netbook - 5 Hour Battery Life
Disney Netpal by ASUS - 8.9-Inch Magic Blue Netbook - 5 Hour Battery Life Review
We got this for my Daughter for her 4th birthday and it is just her size and working out great. It says for 6-12 years, but she is responsible with computers and used to working on them. I decided on the Disney Netbook instead of a regular netbook because it says it has a spill resistant keyboard and supposed to be sturdier. I can’t say if this is true as this is the only netbook we currently own. We like the ASUS brand of computers so that was a plus.
I thought I would like the parental program that is on it, but that is totally worthless. It is cute, but makes it impossible to add anything or do anything on the desktop and the internet pretty much. My daughter likes to play Jumpstart and some other online games and it ended up being much easier to use the regular desktop for all her stuff. You can still turn the Disney desktop on to go and play those games so it works out ok.
It is a fast machine and so far has had good battery life. We are very pleased with it so far. I only wish Netbooks had room for an internal optical drive as my daughter has several games that require the cd to be in to play. But that is solved easily with an external one.
