Finally! The First Laptop for Kids – Disney Laptop

December 2nd, 2009

Asus and Disney have joined to develop the Disney Laptop – a netbook designed specifically for kids that’s fun, web-safe and easy to use. More than two dozen robust parental control options such as time managed controls and white list accessibility while kids still can have all the fun.

Disney Laptop also allows parents to create a web-safe computing environment with many parental control options. 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 information to determine where the children spend time, and for how long, in the browser. Kids can add additional website only if the parents approved.

The system’s Disney browser has many kid-friendly Disney websites for kids to choose, and the 2D “gadget tray” (think Windows taskbar, or OS X dock) displays visual icons for easy access to applications. There’s also a collection of 15 widgets, including a stopwatch, a digital memo pad, calculator, and Radio Disney widget that streams real-time music and lets kids simultaneously submit song requests, if they wish. It also includes a driving game, number game, memory game, and photo scrapbook.

Disney netbook also provide 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.  Popular Disney Channel series Hannah Montana and Jonas Brothers, are also available.

Disney has application for music and media, Disney Mix, and Disney Pix for photos. 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.

By choosing the familiar and  widely compatible Windows XP Home as the platform allows easier future software installs of programs such as Microsoft Office (not included) to help them with more advanced school projects. Even after they grow older they still can enjoy this.

Rugged and durable, with a spill-proof keyboard that protects against inadvertent liquid spills. No need to worry with your data, because ASUS’ ShockShield in Disney Laptop will give the protection againts data loss. 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.

Disney Laptop is the right choice computer for kids to learn and grow up with. Truly magical and engaging computing experience laptop for kids.
