Only the metallic blue version of the netbook is available, rather than the pink model, and aside from the child-friendly branding there’s little new in the hardware.  As with other 8.9-inch Eee PCs, the Netpal has a 1024 x 600 resolution display, Intel Atom N270 processor and 1GB of RAM, while storage is courtesy of a 16GB SSD.

There’s also WiFi b/g/n, three USB 2.0 ports and a 0.3-megapixel webcam, and the whole thing weighs in at 2.20lbs.  No sign of the tipped 160GB version.  OS is Windows XP, which ASUS and Disney then augment with various parental-control features, access to Radio Disney, and custom themes from Cars and Toy Story.
