The Dora Links doll allows girls (and boys) to access the online world of Dora and her Explorer Girls by plugging the doll into their computer via the machine's USB drive. Once online, those playing with the Dora Links doll can help Dora and her friends solve mysteries, assist within their communities and socialize with friends.http://www.amazon.com/Mattel-N9259-Dora-Links-Doll/dp/B001WKC2E4 The doll also comes with an internal alert system, meaning it doesn't even need to be plugged in to let their owners know when a new adventure is waiting for them.

Many reviews of the doll have been positive, though many parents warn of the long download times involved in installing the Dora Links software and of the lack of technical support available if they experience installation and/or software issues. For those having trouble, you can also download the software at Doragirls.com.http://www.amazon.com/Mattel-N9259-Dora-Links-Doll/product-reviews/B001WKC2E4/ref=cm_cr_dp_all_summary?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1&sortBy=bySubmissionDateDescending
