FINALLY, the Disney netbook is here!

Posted on 11 August 2009 by



disneynetbook Is there anyone who hasn’t been eagerly awaiting a Disney branded netbook? Well await no longer, the day has come.

Disney and Asus have teamed up to provided just that – a Disneyfied netbook. Available in both Magic Blue and Princess Pink. In all seriousness, the Disney netbook from Asus actually looks to be a compelling buy as a computer for children. Featuring “intuitive and fun applications” as well as “robust safety features” to keep kids safe on the web. Specs are… well, let’s just say it’s a netbook:

  • 1.6GHz Atom N270
  • 160GB HDD or 16GB SSD
  • 1GB of RAM
  • 8.9” 1024×600 screen
  • Windows XP

All of this for $350, not bad.

I think the biggest issue with this netbook is that it doesn’t have a DVD drive to watch some of the Disney classics on, they could at least pre-load it with Beauty and the Beast, am I right?

    i dont think the lack of a dvd drive will be much of a problem. Would not surprise me if they could bundle a special media player, and sell SD cards thats custom-formated for disney content only…

    Interesting, those are specs for the EEE 900HA, which has been discontinued otherwise.
