Disney and Tim Hortons can't have all the fun! Turns out Nickelodeon also got into the logo-slapped laptop game. Today we're exploring the special edition Nick-themed Dell netbook. 2009 was a crazy time.

I remember this era. It probably launched just before Windows 7 debuted. It was common practice to include upgrade media when they knew there was an imminent OS release. It's a lot easier to throw a disk and card in the box than it is to unpack all of the machines and upgrade them once it goes RTM. My guess is they intended for you to install Windows 7 clean install, hence the disk. I had a Sony Vaio Pen-top in 2000 that shipped with Win 98 SE and came with the ME upgrade in the box IIRC. You might have had to send away for it.

N270 handled Windows 7 with no service pack well. If you try installing Windows 7 SP1 with all the windows updates until the point of its End of Life support, it becomes extremely frustrating to use. Source: I was recently requested to help in making two old N270 netbooks fast again. After trying numerous Windows versions and Linux distros, I settled for Windows 7 with no service pack, and told my friend to not dream of surfing the web with them because of all the potential security flaws. In case my friend still tries to use the internet, I got them Pale Moon, Qihoo360 and TinyWall installed, and I locked them out of the admin account.

HP also used the same software on the HP Mini designer editions and it was able to change the desktop background on Windows 7 Starter! (7:57) The themes were all paid themes! There were no free themes, I checked back in the day. Wow. You did a video on ASUS Disney laptops, and there was also a Dell Nickelodeon laptop?!?!?!?! Wow. I've a feeling that like with Acer Ferrari and ASUS Lamborghini (going by when I saw promos and listings in shops back in the day), the Disney laptops probably came out first and then Dell's consumer PC division probably wanted a -slice- slime of the action, so they went and collaborated with Nickelodeon. I won't be surprised if they had tried to collaborate with Cartoon Network but got turned down.

It was rather common for netbooks to include Microsoft Works instead of Word, back when Works was a thing. The netbook that I used during high school was one of those. Bold of Dell to include a disclaimer IN ALL CAPS on the box that it is not Microsoft Word, though. I know that after Microsoft Works was discontinued this was replaced with Microsoft Office Starter 2010, which was just a barebones version of Word and Excel. Hey, for most people that was enough, you probably didn't need PowerPoint anyway. And it was completely free, no subscription needed.

I had the normal non-Nickelodeon one back in the day. Despite the fact that it was pretty underpowered (Atom blows even worse than Celeron does), it was still a pretty capable and cheap machine for the time. I managed to install Windows 7 on it and it wasn't half-bad. The thing that killed it for me was when I had a shitty job that wouldn't give me a computer and I had to bring it there, and Visual Studio 2010 took 3 whole minutes to compile, when on my home PC it took just a couple of seconds, so I can't stress enough how awful Atom is. Thankfully they finally gave me a computer after a couple of weeks on that job, but really it wasn't worth my while and I quit after 5 months. The little Dell went to my youngest niece who back then was like 8 years old and of course wrecked it.

This thing feels like memory from very past. But I feel grateful and content with my current device after seeing this device.

I still have my Nick Netbook! It came with that slick windows theme and I remember being so shocked that the slime under the keyboard wasn't a sticker. It was the computer that got me started and I'll always keep it around

@BasilDaChefcario Жыл бұрын

I actually really wanted this Netbook when I was younger, because I loved the whole slime design and grew up on Nickelodeon so I just loved the whole aesthetic of it

Great video! That is definitely one cool themed laptop! I miss Microsoft Works. It was a simplified version of Microsoft Office, and I know that I wrote at least one college paper on the word processor in Works.

My sister actually had this model back in the day, I wanna say around 2009 or so and we got it essentially as a freebie with my dad's Dell XPS M1530. It got unbearably slow after like 4 months and the storage couldn't really hold anything other than firefox and 2 CD quality albums. I still remembeer borrowing it to watch KZfaq videos though lol

I use StarDock, primarily to keep Windows menus recognizable instead of the pointless tile garbage

It actually looks kinda similar to the Disney netbook but as you said, the Nickelodeon logo is just slapped on

I played so much Couterstrike 1.6 on an Inspiron Mini in highschool. It sucked, but I loved that thing.
