Disney Adds Personal Computer to Lineup

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The Walt Disney Co. has added a personal computer and flat screen monitor to its lineup of consumer electronics products.
It even comes with a mouse.

The computer, which also comes with games, a digital pen and a drive that plays both CDs and DVDs, joins a television, DVD player, clock radio, cordless phone and other products the company has introduced over the past two years.




The computer will retail for $599 with the monitor sold separately for $299.

The "Disney Dream Desk PC" was unveiled Thursday in New York.

The computer was designed by frog design and will be made by Germany's Medion AG, a large private label maker of personal computers.

The Windows PC comes with ContentProtect, an e-mail and Internet filtering system. It also comes with proprietary programs that allows users to combine their own video clips with Disney characters and sound effects and create drawings using a built-in digital pen.

Disney announced it will also be introducing a digital camera and camcorder later this year.

Facts About the Disney Dream Desk PC


The Disney Dream Desk PC Set is a complete personal computer designed specifically for kids.

The Dream Desk was designed by Disney and frog design and built by Medion AG.

Disney Dream Desk PC comes equipped with the following:

o 14.1” Mickey-shaped TFT LCD flat panel monitor with embedded speakers
o CD-RW/DVD combo optical drive
o Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition operating system
o Microsoft Works 7.0 home productivity program, which includes everything needed to create a variety of documents and spreadsheets, manage schedules and compose email
o Intel® Celeron® D Processor 330 (2.66GHz, 256k L2 Cache, 533MHZ Front Side Bus)
o ATI RADEON 9100 PRO IGP 3-D graphics accelerator
o 40GB Hard Drive
o 256 MB DDR RAM
o Multimedia Keyboard with Digital Pen and built-in cradle
o Disney screensavers and desktop patterns
o Ergonomically designed kid-sized mouse
o Symantec Norton AntiVirus (free 90-day subscription)
o One-year warranty through Medion Customer Care

Parents will rest assured that their children are having a safe Internet experience with the help of ContentProtect® (Internet filtering), EmailProtect® (email filtering and spam blocking) and PopupProtect® (pop-up window blocking), which comes installed on every Disney Dream Desk PC. Additionally, Disney took extra steps to make the program easy to set-up and use by giving parents direct access to the software from a special key on the Dream Desk keyboard.

Disney Games included on the Dream Desk are: Disney’s Mahjongg, Disney’s Extremely Goofy Skateboarding, Disney’s Adventures in Typing with Timon and Pumbaa, and a 14-day Free Membership to Disney’s ToonTown Online.

Unique to the Disney Dream Desk PC are three proprietary applications that truly differentiate it from any other PC offering: Disney Flix, Disney Pix, and Disney Mix.

Disney Flix provides kids with the tools to create and edit their own movies by pointing a camera, shooting, then easily downloading the video footage to the computer.

Disney Pix has a unique set of drawing tools that allow kids to create drawings, use graphics and enhance photos with great Disney characters, stamps and frames.

Disney Mix allows kids to be a conductor by providing a portfolio of music, sounds, and soundtracks.
All of these applications can be used in concert, so kids can easily add music to their movies or pictures or vice versa.

The Disney Dream Desk keyboard features hot keys that launch directly into the key applications bundled with the computer like Disney.com access. In addition, the keyboard features media keys for playing, fast-forwarding and rewinding movies and songs.

Committed to delivering top quality entertainment, Disney selected ATI Technologies, the world's leader in graphics technology, to provide their Radeon 9100 IGP Pro technology which delivers enhanced 3D graphics performance and hardware MPEG 2 support that truly brings DVD movies to life.

The Disney Dream Desk is designed to fit in small spaces. The small CPU fits right behind the monitor on any desk. As an added feature, a cable management system has been put in place to hide bulky plugs from view and small fingers.

The Disney digital camera, Disney digital video camera and Disney game controller and printer are available separately and are compatible with Dream Desk creative software.

The Dream Desk will be available for purchase beginning September 12 in CompUSA stores, and beginning August 12 through the Disney Catalog and DisneyStore.com . The Dream Desk will retail for $599 (MSRP) with the monitor display sold separately at $299 (MSRP).
