Disney is nothing if not adept at marketing its brand to kids and their parents and, while few may have heard of ASUS outside of computer enthusiasts, the Disney moniker is readily recognizable world wide. The designers at Disney's Toymorrow team, working with ASUS, have come up with the Disney NetPal, a netbook designed just for kids with a few extras to keep kids safe while on the Internet and give parents extra peace of mind.

The technical details probably matter little to folks that might be in the market for a Disney labeled computer, but some of its ASUS Eee PC heritage shows with a 8.9" LCD, an Intel Atom N270 processor, 1GB of memory and Windows XP Home. Two models will be offered - the MK90H with a 160GB hard drive and the MK90 that comes with a 16GB solid state drive.

Disney is touting the NetPal's kid friendly features such as a special Disney Desktop and widgets designed to make applications easy to use. Both models also come with kid-safe features such as over 40 parental controls and a reinforced mechanical design and a spill-proof keyboard that should appeal to parents.

The models are being offered through retailers like Amazon and Toys"R"Us for $349.99 and come in Princess Pink and Magic Blue.
