Optimized for Web-Safety and Sports a Sleek Durable Design

The Disney Netpal by ASUS is designed to be kid-friendly, both in terms of durability and content permissions. It’s rugged and durable, with a spill-proof keyboard that protects against inadvertent liquid spills. The Disney Netpal by ASUS’ ShockShield data protection guards against data loss when the computer is subject to impact. The Disney Netpal also allows parents to create a web-safe computing environment with many parental control options. Parents can pre-select email correspondence options, browsers, the websites their kids visit and the programs they use. These permissions can also be scheduled on a calendar, providing parents with a convenient, automated means of granting access on the days and times that they choose. Parents can also pull up data to determine where children spent time, and for how long, in the Disney Browser. Additional websites can be added for access, but only if the parent approves and submits the request within the password-protected system.
