Back in 2009, the Disney Netpal came onto the netbook scene. And I recently got my hands on a couple of them to explore on video, so let's do that!

he’s getting more sponsors!
look at this dumb sponsorship literally no one cares about!
just stop it
you should restore that other one
when will you continue working on the compaq?
Blah. Boycott Disney, save your money to buy better specs / more storage / faster CPU.
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.
I had it and no youre wrong ):
Not if your parents had money.
@@YunikuYosefMomoka the laptop went for like 100 dollars or less. It was very affordable then.
@@careberries7146 The economy was still much different back then. You could get a whole handful of candy for only 5 cents.
@@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
It's hard to hear Eee PC and not hearing an nugget lover Australian man with a pet snek yelling that name

Oh no not the eeee pc
Imagine if in 5 years Disney makes a budget cell phone for kids.
It could be true since lots of kid now days are getting phones at a young age
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.
Not disney, but there's already smart watches for kids.
I feel like a tablet would be better.
Right.... "for kids"
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...
@@katanah3195 Sounds like the VTech VSmile. Check that out 😁
I've heard of the dream desk, but never knew of a freakin' DISNEY LAPTOP.
They were really going all out with the computer industry, huh
They want to own the entire planet
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.
They just need to build Disney phones then it's complete. 🤣
@@steventechno what about DISNEY TV LOL 😆
It’s just Disney merchandising everything possible
That webcam hole design is not just a little ominous in it's implications.
The Mouse is always watching. Always. 🤣
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
I had heard about the ASUS Disney netbooks back in the day, but I never knew there was also a Dell Nickelodeon netbook! 🤯
@@kbhasi Yeah it was really cool. I'm pretty sure it had Nicktropolis pre-installed
I have one, original programs and the theme are gone tho
IIRC it was also available with a TV tuner which is especially interesting for a laptop.
It was an Inpiron Mini another netbook, competitor to eeePC.
Hey, I had the pink Disney laptop! It was my first computer and I remember loving it a bunch as a kid
Me too!!!! Fond memories
same
The pink Disney laptop is beautiful
I love the bubbly weird design of the UI, it reminds me of Disney online from 2008-2013 when I was little
( I’d be 13 in 2013 )
Does that mean you're 22 now?
@@ItzDaCookiez yes
makes me feel old
YES i agree too! i miss the old Disney site.
Ya born in 2000?
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 💕
Fun is banned, apparently.
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.
I loved how he tried to tell us about the disney PC from 2004 and then left it just because Linus did it already in much depth 😆
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.
sussy baka software (amogus memes are still funny)
Sussy Baka software on the aSus laptop
@@Journey_Awaits sus
I'd definitely be interested in seeing the restore process, mainly because I find old software restore programs intriguing.
Looks like a Ghost image, if I had to guess...
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.
Ah, my childhood classic... "DO NOT PLAY" Java Edition
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.
Was about to say the same thing lol
Yep, I was also gonna mention it being an alias..
I came here just to say this lmao
And I thought, that MJD knew it already. :/
@@QuinceTart10 I think he’s just spoiled with modern file select dialogues traversing aliases for us 😅
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.
I thought they locked you at the folder so that you wouldn't mess with the pictures there. After all, kids would be using the program.
I think since Sample Pictures is a shortcut, Pix won't show anything that isn't a folder or picture file.
probably just incapable of working with symlinks.
or shortcuts, as windows is calling them.
@@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
@@RadikAlice why is windows always over complicating things?..
but, uh, yeah, thanks for correcting me.
21:30 I feel like Vargskelethor aka Vinesauce Joel would be the perfect guy to mess around with that, maybe on some Windows Destruction.
What a nugget! The big companies really do make the best products
especially eeeeeepeeeceees
Is that a DankPods reference?
@@Astolfo2001probably
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.
You are correct. The mix max and mix stick. Videos of them on my channel.
Anyone else dying to see him boot up Minecraft and see what the world's look like?
Yes
meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
No theres a reason why its called DO NOT PLAY lol
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. 👍
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
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.
I loved XP so much. I even went out of my way to get an XP laptop back in 2010, back when companies were starting to phase it out for Win7. I finally found the very last laptop with that OS installed on Dell's website. I was so happy. Of course, I had to learn to like 7 when that laptop died. 7 wound up being better than I thought it'd be.
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
„Blue Magic” is for boys that are 7-12+ but „Princess Pink” is for girls that are 4-8
Would love to see some of these Disney problems ran on Windows 10 or 11! 😉
would need at least 3 gb more ram
@@cadenbarnfather1434 they would work with 1gb of ram, though slowly.
@@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.
There’s just something about a new Michael MJD video on a Sunday that I absolutely love!
I work in IT just found this channel, I about died when that editing software saved as a .JPEG. Gotta love software engineers
“Hello everybody, and welcome back to the happiest channel on Earth” he said in a VERY excited tone.
3:31 The keyboard in these two devices truly tells a story.
Magic desktop being able to control everything like that is terrifying!
Hell yeah baby! We've got a sponsor now! Looking forward to more of the good ol Michael MJD content. Keep it up
This is actually a pretty cool laptop! I love the coloring and pattern on the case
We loved our EeePCs at the time. Really convenient little devices.
I had this as a kid! It brings back so many memories!
I had no idea these Disney laptops were a thing, I have heard of those Disney computers that you showed at the start of the video though. This ought to be interesting for sure!☺👌
cring
Perfect computer to install Hanna Montana Linux on.
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.
I'd love to see one of these running Hannah Montana Linux to make the ultimate Disney netbook
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.
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
lol my kids would fight over the pink laptop!, Great videos as always Michael! Keep up the amazing content!!!
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 had the princess laptop as a kid!! I think I still have it somewhere
You are the reason I am obsessed with the Disney laptop and its version of XP! Thanks Micheal :)
I remember this laptop without Disney logo it was really good netbook for watching videos small and good for working with word etc
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
Giờ ông này toàn làm mở hộp vui vẻ thôi mà, đâu có làm lập trình như trước nữa
I really loved this episode lol. The random images as faces made me laugh so hard for no reason
windows xp has to be my favorite os, so aesthetically pleasing.
i didn't even know Disney developed their own lineup of laptops w o w.
Raspberry Pi OS works well on crappy old atoms, i have it on a old msi notebook.
I might try it out of curiosity
Could it have been one of those raspberry pi holes for domains and ads
Awesome video, Michael!
I remember I had this as a kid! I used to play freerealms and wow on it. Surprisingly, it held up well!
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.
@@CharlieRAnimaMX this kinda reminds me of how they also changed the my computer desktop icon.
from computer, to my computer to this computer.
@@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.
@@zeero4ever kinda makes sense, yeah.
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)
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 can say for sure. That the editing tools was awesome for an XP version.
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
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.
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
omg i love this so much!
The pink one is so over the top, omg
I kinda want one of these now, they're so cute
That “DO NOT PLAY” got Me
Honestly wished it still looked like this. I love how it looks compared to how it looks now. I think that’s why a lot of people like Mac is bc it’s clean UI
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
My fave youtuber talking about my childhood laptop? What a small world
Woah Disney and PC 😲
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.
this gives me nostalgia like i wanted one of these so badly
Yayyyy new MJD video lesssss goooooo!
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.
Yes🙃
"The happinest channel on Earth" is not an innacurate description, watching your videos is indeed fun
I had one of these things as a kid and loved it lol
Disney: Let's Make A Disney Laptop
Asus: ok. (now we have to put princesses on a laptop)
imagine if these companies actually kept their servers for these products
I would love a win xp wallpaper where the sky moves- the wallpaper is so iconic
Now I actually want you to create some insane memes with this bobblehead program😂😂
The text at 0:09 says “disney pls dont sue”
disney, a company that makes MOVIES and TV SHOWS, proceeds to make a laptop.
Even Disney made an mp3 player.
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
imagine bringing a disney laptop at work or school
magic
Very kool imo
I did back in the day!
Beautiful wallpapers and themes from Disney (Good old times 😌)
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.
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.
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??
@@ToysRAwesome98 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
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
Managed to find the pink one on eBay recently... so excited to test it out ^_^
No Brasil ele foi lancado sem o apoio da Disney, e beeeem depois de 2004, acho que esse modelo chegou aqui em 2012-14
EEE PEE CEE
I used Magic Desktop a ton as a kind. That program was legendary.
Those OG robloc icons brought back so many memories.
we have the eeeee peecee
Now it need needs Hanna Montana Linux 🤣😂
Oh man, eeePCs! I remember those so much. I had one of the very first ones, the 2GB capacity (yes, capacity, not RAM!) 700 series, and a later model a few years on from that. Would be interesting to get hold of a 700 series again for a laugh...
I hope everyone has a great weekend!
