Disney has teamed up with Asus to create  a compact laptop for kids called Disney Netpal. Kids can customize their desktop with Disney classic characters, Disney Fairies and Disney Princesses as well characters from more recent films like CARS and WALL_E. Disney Netpal, designed for an age-range between 6-12 years old, boasts two color choices: Princess Pink for girls and Classic Blue  for boys.

Designed to appeal both kids and parents, it includes more than 40 control options like web-safe browsing, e-mail correspondence filters and time restraints.  The Disney Netpal also offers a number of Disney-developed applications, like the Disney Radio widget that allows kids to stream real time music from Disney Radio, Disney Mix for music and Disney Pix for photo customization. Disney Netpal, which features an 8.9-inch display, WiFi capabilities and 160GB HDD has come out at the reasonable price of  $ 350. And if all of the above still does not seem enough for your kids… did we mention the spill-proof keyboard?
