$350.00
Released July, 2009
The Pros:Intuitive and fun interface aimed at children. Attractive Disney themed exterior. 18 months of free online storage.
The Cons:Higher price than similar netbooks, due to the Disney branding. Custom theme and software are bloated, reduces performance on an already low specification computer. Only 1 year hardware and 6 months battery warranty, which is low compared to other Asus computers.
