PC Mag reviews Dell Mini Nickelodeon Edition and Disney Netpal by ASUS

Comments

Netbooks for kids seems like a great idea doesn’t it?

Netbooks are fairly inexpensive; offer the right form factor and specs for kids; and seem like the perfect platform to introduce computing to youngsters.

However, as is common in most things in tech, it ultimately depends on the content at hand and this is best seen in two recent reviews by PC Mag – the Disney Netpal by ASUS and the Dell Mini Nickelodean Edition netbook. With one netbook (the Netpal), you have a system loaded with apps and goodies for kids. However with another netbook (the Dell) you really don’t have much beyond colors and themes.

But on a positive note, here’s a blurb from the PC Mag review of the Disney Netpal by ASUS:

“The Disney Netpal by ASUS netbook is loaded with useful tools for kids and parents alike.”
