Netpal Eee Netbook for Kids from Disney and Asus

Netpal Eee Netbook for Kids from Disney and Asus

In what seems like a natural partnership, Asus and Disney have opted for the development of Disney Netpal-a Netbook specifically for children who are “fun, web-safe and easy to use.”

The Netpal has a rugged design, a 8.9-inch LCD display, Wi-Fi capabilities, Windows XP Home, and more than 40 parents, including the additional filter in browsers and e-mail. There is also a Disney-themed UI “Gadget Tray”, which offers a customized e-mail, browser, icons, themes, widgets, and kid-friendly software.

For me, Netbook, and children always make sense, so that if I had children who Netpal would be an interesting option for a first computer. All I can say is thank God it is not Hanna Montana (though probably). The Netpal is available in two versions, with the base model of the arrival of this month.

Sony Vaio W is also overpriced in Philippines

Sony Vaio W is also overpriced in Philippines

You know how the Sony Vaio W is expected to sell for around $ 776 in Australia, while it has a list price of only $ 499 in the U.S.? Yes, Australia is apparently not the only region to the short end of the stick. Yugatech reported that the Netbook will sell for Php39, 990 in the Philippines. That is about $ 835 U.S..

Even in the U.S., the Sony Vaio W seems a little overpriced. Sure, it has a decent keyboard and a high resolution 1366 x 768 pixel display. But the $ 499 price for the Netbook is equipped with a 3-cell battery is 2.5 hours. Here you will find many Netbook with 5 hours or more batteries for under $ 400. But I must say that $ 499 still seems a lot better than the prices of Sony is loaded in other areas.
