I did a lot of research before deciding to purchase this product Disney Netpal by ASUS – 8.9-Inch Magic Blue Netbook – 5 Hour Battery Life for my family. One of the reasons I bought this over the Nickelodeon/Dell netbook – or another netbook brand – was that it is advertised that the RAM can be expanded up to 2GB. Asus does not offer factory upgrades. When I got the Netpal in this week, the warranty states that it needs to be serviced by an authorized repair shop. So I called to Tech Support and asked them about the upgrade. They said they don’t recommend the 2GB RAM upgrade, won’t do it in their service centers, and that it would void the warranty. EVERYWHERE on the internet it is advertised that it can upgrade to 2GB RAM. Make sure you consider this before purchase. I am not really happy with this purchase. I can’t even get the some of the links on the Disney site to work. [...]. is very content rich and many of the links to videos and games just won’t load.

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.

I bought this for my 7 year old niece, and she really likes it. The set up for the new users is a little confusing. Parents should first create only their user account, and then afterwards create the account for the child using the parental control tool. The manual is sparse, and there isn’t any online help at Asus’s site yet. As the other reviewer stated, it is somewhat difficult to add programs to the Disney platform. We are still trying to figure out how to add Windows Media Player. The Disney media player is limited in that the screen size is approximately 3″ and cannot be expanded. A DVD drive isn’t necessary, just use one of the DVD rippers and converters, and save the files to a SD card. Just remember you are paying for the Disney name, because there is no way that I’d buy a 9″ netbook for almost $350 for myself when there are better alternatives for that price. Oh well, it is very cute.

We purchased this for our 14 yo and he is very happy. We don’t have to monitor him and he doesn’t resent asking for access for new websites. Before he had to be in a public area of the house so we could monitor him and he had to wait until we got home to use the computer. Now we approve the game sites he wants to go to AND it won’t let him go to “suggested” sites, some of which are VERY unsavory (as we found out). The computer also allows us to set the days and times he can get online. so we can easily reward good work at school with extended hours of play. Disney quality is evident. It is REALLY easy to use. Parental controls work very quickly so I can approve a site in just a couple of clicks and a password. cant say enough good about it. Plus made by Asus known for good quality netbooks. I have an ASUS for myself that i love.
