Damn, if a kid had that princess laptop back in 2009 I would have thought they were the coolest kid in school. Most kids I knew didn’t have their own computers then, let alone a pink Disney princess computer! Pretty sweet tbh.
@@YunikuYosefMomoka considering my family lived in section 8 and we were literally low income how you gonna tell me like this wasnt a christmas purchase 😭 just cause you bought one thing dont mean youre ballin it just means you saved for that one thing
I kind of miss these type of products: kid-friendly companies taking an existing device and revamping the whole thing for kids to use. 6 year old me would've *adore* this device, and I wasn't even that deep into Disney at that time. Now we got phones and tablets designed for kids, but I wish another company steps up and take over PCs and Chromebooks.
I remember an entire video game system that had little kid friendly games, controllers built for tiny hands, and was sold more as an educational toy for toddlers and preschoolers than a game system for older kids or the whole family... kind of ahead of its time, my family didn't know anyone else who owned one, and finding proof it even existed besides my own memories of playing on it was harder than I expected it to be. It was interesting because it was a cartridge based system well after disc based became the standard, and because the home console that needed a TV and the portables took the exact same cartridges, and in addition to the standard controllers built for rather small hands, they also sold an even more "little kid sized"/accessible controller that had the small buttons bigger and laid out differently and requiring less force to press. I'm pretty sure the only reason we bought one was because it had a much better selection of official Winnie the Pooh games than any proper adult/family console (and Mum and Dad knew from the computer games they bought me, only Pooh Bear video games were really worth buying as far as money spent to hours enjoyed ratio), and the way the cartridges worked meant not needing to buy the games twice to have them both on the home unit and on the portables we eventually got. Also, it was for me and my brother to share, and he was kinda the target age of the kid friendly controllers, so anything else with more complex controls would be a bit unfair to him...
Well, the desktop really was a proper Disney PC with a physically customized case, monitor and keyboard. That is, dedicated injection molds had to be made for the product. This netbook, by contrast, just has special printing on the lid and palm rest, and a slightly modified install of XP.
There was a Dell Nickelodeon Laptop that I had when I was a kid. It also ran Windows XP and had a custom theme. It would be super cool if you got your hands on one
They could do that now. Cheap android phones are quite easy and inexpensive to make, and they could partner up with a Chinese company like BLU to mass-produce them.
This was my first laptop. I remember my dad bought one for me before he deployed to Afghanistan because he wanted me to use it for Skype. He tried his best to line up his schedule so he could video chat my mom and me every morning before school and every night before bed. Really good memories.
Yeah, I have an earlier EEE PC and it is a Ghost image so I wouldn't see this being any different. I don't think it'd be an overly entertaining video for Michael to make.
Why can’t companies still do this? Like, I want all of this: the cute computer appearance & cute ui/wallpaper themes BUT it just needs high specs so I can have a cute hardcore gaming laptop lol 💕
just want to say, I really appreciate that these videos have accurate subtitles that arent auto generated. Im not deaf or hoh I just prefer it, and not many youtubers put in the effort! tysm
I think the problem with Pix might be related to the fact example pictures are placed in public pictures instead of user's pictures. While Windows Explorer handles "my pictures" location by combining user's pictures with public ones, the Pix app is not able to properly handle "my pictures" location this way.
@@generallyunimportant Shortcuts in Windows aren't symlinks If the original file is moved, they stop working. Very dumb, I know But _you can_ make symlinks, but only in the command-line
Sample Pictures was actually stored in the "All Users" Pictures folder, and only had a shortcut linking it from your personal My Pictures. That'd happen with any tree file selector in XP, I believe.
Disney had their version of a mp3 player called Disney mix (I think) where you had to buy a sd card sized cartridge of disney music that you put into the "mix" and you could also plug it into your computer.
the software you showed when you first booted the laptop is usually referred to as "baka-software" usually made by Russian hackers and made hard to uninstall on purpose unless the system language was set to Russian (Russia), which then would sometimes even uninstall itself or act as a usual antivirus and uninstallation was easy as butter.
at 6:55, and i'm fascinated by the fact that the pink one had an up-to-date Roblox Studio, but a version of Roblox Player that hasn't existed since 2012.
Wait.. I *swear* I've seen this Disney Laptop in a shopping catalogue years ago.. I think the catalogue was from 2010-11, and I randomly found the catalogue a few years after we first got it. I remember being surprised to see this Windows XP laptop being sold among the large amount of new Windows 7 laptops.. Anyway, I'll watch the video now. I'm sure it will be fun to watch. 👍
The Sample Pictures folder doesn't actually reside within 'My Pictures', the My Pictures folder just contains a shortcut to the Sample Pictures which are in the Shared Documents folder. The program probably wasn't seeing the shortcut .lnk inside the My Pictures folder.
8:11 OH MY GAUUUOAA I remember that Magic Desktop programmm It was this software that limited the functionality of the pc and was almost like a separate os but in the form of an app, it served the purpose of limiting what a child could do with the pc and you could buy a liscense for full access to some features but omg I'm having the deepest flashbacks right now when you won a game it would take you to this final score screen with fireworks booming and i was just so fascinated by them aaa. I'm 16 now but was no older than like 4 with the ability to read and use a keyboard when I was spending hours on end using Magic Desktop drawing and playing all sorts of flashlike minigames It's not really something up this channel's alley since it's target audience was parents and small kids but I guess it was significant enough that some parent with an out of box disney xp decided to set it up for their kid to use
@@maggiethegamer1271 only if you use a 32 bit system. my current laptop has 4 gb of ram and i am honestly scared to bump it up to windows 11 because of system limitations despite the other components being enough.
Being from this thing's demographic, these atom machines were surprisingly capable for what they were. I could run older AAA games on low in addition to many of the popular web games of the time, most notably runescape.
The reason why the Sample Pictures didn't show up on Disney Pix is because it's a shortcut to the actual folder in the Public Pictures folder (C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\My Documents\My Pictures) and not an actual folder and the Disney Pix program only showed picture file formats
It's now nearly 12am in Vietnam and i'm still watching your videos. They're cool and they can help me soooo much things with my IT skills! I'm the new viewer btw, I hope you can make more quality contents in the future
17:14 Starting with either Windows 2000 or XP, Microsoft changed the "My XXX" user folders into NTFS directory junctions (per default it redirects to a hidden folder named XXX without the my-part in the user directory), if your program uses the built in stuff from the comctl libraries Windows will translate that stuff for you automatically, but if your program implements bespoke file browsing, the programmer has to code in awareness for directory junctions and symbolic links or this will happen. Edit: Also, looks like there is no support for Windows "libraries" feature either, that is the thing where you can combine several folders into one, combining public/shared and private my pictures folders for instance, that would be a great thing for Pix to have.
Even more difficult than programming them, was later explaining to your parents and uncles that the "My xyz" folder [in Vista, 7 and later] no longer Exists now they are simply called the same but without "my". we are almost finished 2022 and to date I continue to see how they suffer to find the folders because although there is a button on the start menu or quick access with "Documents", but they continue looking for "My documents" (and I have even seen them directly create a new folder with the My... on desktop) - Worse when they save their stuff in the "my folder" but a default program saves it in the only "folder" and they don't find it -It's weird but curious how they have so ingrained the "my" that they can't live without it even though the name is the same.
@@generallyunimportant May have to do with the times where the corresponding OSes were used. In the 95 times it was more common to have a "familiy computer" or otherwise shared PC. So "My" computer wouldn't have made a lot of sense to many people. Later, more people had their personal computers, so "My" computer made perfect sense. Today multiple computers/devices are common, so "This" computer may be better than "My" computer.
The sample photos issue is because that folder lives in the All Users pictures folder on XP. User profiles had a plain old a .lnk shortcut to it in the user's pictures folder when the profile is created. The folders were renamed to remove the "My" and had junctions added in a later version of Windows (was either Vista or 7 I think)
When I first saw this vid back in October, it is Sooo much funnier than I thought it was going be. Thanks MJD for all these lighthearted peeks and pokes into the belly of the beast (AKA Microsoft) I give you props for taking the high road and using a more subtle approach.
Restoring the black netbook would be a very interesting video to watch. I believe you could also check if there is a recovery partition on the hard drive if the previous owner hasn't formatted it. The reminds me of how I had restored my netbook once to factory settings
Great video Michael. I have an Asus EEE pc (non disney branded) but the hardware is almost identical. You can upgrade the harddrive but not the ram as it is soldered directly on the motherboard.
Seeing windows xp sent me right back, and the old minecraft icon and roblox icon hit me in the nostalgia feels lol, My first laptop was a hefty grey dell.
Now I really want one, I love netbooks and that thing looks really nice. I often need an XP laptop to run my car's old dealer diagnostic software and this would be perfect for reading codes instead of an old 17 inch behemoth
I remember some of these back when I was a kid I never had one but I thought they were interesting another great video man! I did have a Star Wars darth vader laptop I think it was an hp
I remember these laptops like it was yesterday! had won one all the way back in 2008 through a nesquick promo, basically every time you eat a cereal box there would be a code inside the box , you created an account on the website and the more boxes the more chances you had at winning . uuuunfortunately they sent me a princess laptop instead of the blue one and I could not stop crying for a week haha
I have also used a 2009 Sony VAIO netbook which came pre-installed with Windows XP Home Edition until it broke in 2018. I also thought why it came with Windows XP if it was released in 2009. It could also run Windows 7 and Vista. I couldn't manage to install Windows 10 on it due to NX support required. It had an Intel Atom processor
Netbooks with the first gen N270 Atom definitely have the NX bit, I've ran Windows 10 on mine. If yours didn't work it was probably disabled by a BIOS setting.
I had the regular same spec Eee PC 900HA. In terms of performance it was ok for the time. Only letdown was they used a first gen single core Intel Atom N270 1.6 GHz CPU that was in terms of performance very slow. Only real update you could do on these was upgrade the ram from 1gb to 3gb by installing an additional 2gb DDR2 module and install a larger HDD.
see this wouldn’t be so strange to me if the netbooks had like, disney CHARACTERS on them. but it’s just a disney logo?? idk i find that sort of strange
If he does that then he probably won't be able to post it online. Disney could sue him for copyright infringement. He'll have to keep it as private copy.
@@Toys-R-Awesome98 They still own the copyrights. Big companies like Disney can get very aggressive when it comes to protecting their intellectual properties
@@ShadowGD_OfficialYT It's a reference to Knuckles's theme in Sonic Adventure. Kinda random, but I approve. (No, seriously though. It really is the perfect theme for Knuckles. The Adventure 2 remix is awsome too. I'm gonna go listen to it again now... 😂)
7:10 Oh the memories... I landed my first job repairing exclusively netbooks as nobody else wanted to deal with them. What a pain it was...especially when the netbook had something as a 3150 with 8mb of memory, and the owner wanted to play Halo.
I like the irony of Michael ridiculing "Super Optimizer" at 6:16 and then himself advertising "Crucial System Scanner" at 13:35 - I know they are pretty different but both aim to make you buy something you don't necessarily need haha
There's not really anything ironic about that though... The System Scanner just tells you what RAM is compatible with your system if you were interested in upgrading your memory. It's completely different from stuff like Super Optimizer, which pretty much scares you into buying software that you don't need.
Michael , "Sample Pictures" folder actually exists in For WINXP->C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\My Pictures For WINVISTA amd more->C:\Users\Public\Pictures Maybe , the program is incapable but this is the reason the program can't find the folder with sample photos. It actually is a shortcut but not like the normal shortcuts in Windows.That's the reason

It could also run Windows 7 and Vista. I couldn't manage to install Windows 10 on it due to NX support required. It had an Intel Atom processor
Netbooks with the first gen N270 Atom definitely have the NX bit, I've ran Windows 10 on mine. If yours didn't work it was probably disabled by a BIOS setting.
i didn't even know Disney developed their own lineup of laptops w o w.
I had the regular same spec Eee PC 900HA. In terms of performance it was ok for the time. Only letdown was they used a first gen single core Intel Atom N270 1.6 GHz CPU that was in terms of performance very slow. Only real update you could do on these was upgrade the ram from 1gb to 3gb by installing an additional 2gb DDR2 module and install a larger HDD.
Omg I had one of these laptops when I was like 8! I’m still obsessed with laptops to this day, so this is where it started lol
That “DO NOT PLAY” got Me
I had the princess laptop as a kid!! I think I still have it somewhere
I Miss The Old Roblox Studio Icon
I wonder if the laptop still has the old Roblox installer somewhere on it, since most of the old Roblox launchers are "lost to time"
@@zye. definitely
I would love a win xp wallpaper where the sky moves- the wallpaper is so iconic
Woah Disney and PC 😲
"The happinest channel on Earth" is not an innacurate description, watching your videos is indeed fun
imagine if these companies actually kept their servers for these products
Hahaha we still have this laptop back home! We bought it for my sister decades ago. Need to dig it up.
disney, a company that makes MOVIES and TV SHOWS, proceeds to make a laptop.
This was a great overview of the disney netpal netbooks. You missed a few programs that was probably missing such as the webcam program.
Is it just nostalgia glasses or is that taskbar and music player slick af visual wise? That glossy finish is soooooooo nice
omg i love this so much!
Yes🙃
see this wouldn’t be so strange to me if the netbooks had like, disney CHARACTERS on them. but it’s just a disney logo?? idk i find that sort of strange
Disney: Let's Make A Disney Laptop
Asus: ok. (now we have to put princesses on a laptop)
set the intertnet proxy to use the OldNet/WayBackMachine and set the date correctly and see if the store pops up
The text at 0:09 says “disney pls dont sue”
I used Magic Desktop a ton as a kind. That program was legendary.
imagine bringing a disney laptop at work or school
magic
Very kool imo
I did back in the day!
Those OG robloc icons brought back so many memories.
Can you try to make a .iso file of the operating system? (With all the Disney stuff.)
If he does that then he probably won't be able to post it online. Disney could sue him for copyright infringement. He'll have to keep it as private copy.
@@9Tailsfan but why would they Sue him if this is OLD??
@@Toys-R-Awesome98 They still own the copyrights. Big companies like Disney can get very aggressive when it comes to protecting their intellectual properties
@@9Tailsfanon part two he puts the restore media in the description
@@9Tailsfan Looking back at this now, I agree with you 100%. Although he did upload the restore ISO.
Beautiful wallpapers and themes from Disney (Good old times 😌)
Kinda cool if Disney Made Special ASUS Laptops that are Kid Friendly. Not to mess with the mouse!
A family friendly laptop? Perfect for *ME!*
@@ShadowGD_OfficialYT ah yes, it's perfect for Unknown From *M.E.*
@@generallyunimportant What?
@@ShadowGD_OfficialYT It's a reference to Knuckles's theme in Sonic Adventure. Kinda random, but I approve.
(No, seriously though. It really is the perfect theme for Knuckles. The Adventure 2 remix is awsome too. I'm gonna go listen to it again now... 😂)
@@kidwolf0015 Oh, ok.
7:10 Oh the memories... I landed my first job repairing exclusively netbooks as nobody else wanted to deal with them. What a pain it was...especially when the netbook had something as a 3150 with 8mb of memory, and the owner wanted to play Halo.
we have the eeeee peecee
There is so many e's
When I was 7, I had my own desktop PC! A dell optiplex. Those office tasks were not boring to me!
I like the irony of Michael ridiculing "Super Optimizer" at 6:16 and then himself advertising "Crucial System Scanner" at 13:35 - I know they are pretty different but both aim to make you buy something you don't necessarily need haha
There's not really anything ironic about that though... The System Scanner just tells you what RAM is compatible with your system if you were interested in upgrading your memory. It's completely different from stuff like Super Optimizer, which pretty much scares you into buying software that you don't need.
Michael ,
"Sample Pictures" folder actually exists in
For WINXP->C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\My Pictures
For WINVISTA amd more->C:\Users\Public\Pictures
Maybe , the program is incapable but this is the reason the program can't find the folder with sample photos.
It actually is a shortcut but not like the normal shortcuts in Windows.That's the reason
No Brasil ele foi lancado sem o apoio da Disney, e beeeem depois de 2004, acho que esse modelo chegou aqui em 2012-14
I hope everyone has a great weekend!
Hi
Edit: how did i mispell hi (i said his)
this made me realise that the old tiny family laptop i remember being so fond of was an Eee PC. Not a disney one, but an Eee PC nonetheless
EEE PEE CEE
6:52 How interesting. Very old version of Roblox Player but very recent version of Roblox Studio.
