- RE: Last day to enter the HP Magic Giveaway! [Gadgetell]Obviously this is an amazing giveaway! I've already witnessed about a dozen other people win on all sorts of different websites! (sobs!) But there's always my chance! About me - My name is Marques, living with my family in a home in a small town in New Jersey - a great, quiet little place - I live with my mother, my father, and my little sister! They're all wonderful people, and I don't know how I could go on without my family. Anyway, I've got to tell you what I would LOVE to do with this fabulous-sounding prize!! Firstly, the HP Touchsmart PC is an amazing machine - the TV tuner, the gorgeous (i hope i spelled that right!) 25" screen, all the media controls - this thing is a monster! I would give this as a gift to my general family - as the home's primary PC. It can easily be used as our TV, our word processing unit, our schoolwork unit, or even our household entertainment device! I'm sure this privelage would make it EXTREMELY easy for my family to communicate, and entertain! I know my entire family deserves it, and we could all use it! The HP HDX 18t laptop is another monstrosity - if I don't win, I would still consider buying this laptop! It's got all the gaming performance (with it's graphics card) that one could ever need. It has processing power like no other machine! It can handle anything any computing power can throw at a portable machine - and that's why I'd nominate my Dad to get this laptop! This machine is just wonderful! He's currently working on a worn-out Toshiba P105 - slowing down constantly, and eating up valuable time. My Dad works as a software developer in NYC, and he uses this Toshiba as his primary computer. Al I'd need to to is buy him an Easy-Transfer Cable from Belkin - and all his data is running extremely fast on a wonderful, new, 18" HD laptop! I know there's nothing else I could get my Dad that would benefit him more than this machine. The Hp dv4 is another great little piece of hardware - and my sister is a great young woman as well! She's been working with an absolutely ANCIENT (and I mean that when I way it) PC running Windows 98 - a barely visible monitor... Takes 20 minutes to open the start menu! Giving her this pretty, shiny little laptop would absolutely make her year! She's been struggling through a few things as school, sometimes not being able to finish an online research project, or having to go to the library to save something to a USB drive - but this HP would be an improvement beyond belief to my sister! (and my Mom, who drove her to the library all those times!) Giving her this gift would make me just as happy as I know it would make her. Then there's my Mom - she's not the most tech-savvy person you can imagine - but she certainly uses her computer! I'm telling you, the one she's using now is OLD! It's a Dell laptop thick enough to be an All-In-One! Haha, I know it sounds superficial, but the HP Mini 1000 would just be amazing for her. She's constantly using her computer to check email, and stay on top of things that she does at home when I'm at High School. And since I know Vista might be a little much for her to handle - it'll have the same, (just much faster) Windows Xp running on it already - awesome! Making her every day that much more productive is something I know that she can truly appreciate! My Mom is really special to me, and I'm lucky to still even have her here with me on this planet - Giving her this gift would make my holiday season really special! When I saw the HP Photosmart printer in the contest, I knew IMMEDIATELY who I would send it to - my Aunt. Raising 2 children (ages 3 and 5), I know it's hard to stay on top of things, but there are just SO many pictures she has of them - that she'd like to post on the refrigerator, walls, etc! She's got a scanner already, and this printer is all she needs to print out those little doodles they draw that she's scanned - or their latest holiday picture as a family! Their current printer isn't exactly the best of them all ... if you know what I mean! So a brand new HP Photosmart Printer would be an amazing addition to their household, brightening up their lives my a great amount! I couldn't wait to give them this gift, as they have done so much to support me! Finally, the Kung Fu Panda DVD! That would have to go to my counsins! (3 and 5 yrs old, like I said...) They're the types that love to watch the same cartoon over ... and over ... and over again! They must've watched the CARS movie a thousand times! Owning the Kung Fu Panda DVD would make their lives so much brighter! Not only that, but it would keep them occupied long enough for my aunt to catch up on their latest school projects - this would make the perfect addition to their DVD collection, and I'd be proud to give it to them for the Holidays! Office Home and Student would go on my current computer (which I must admit, has been loyal to me!) Because I use this computer solely for - well, home and projects! I do tons of word processing, and the occasional Powerpoint presentation for a class - and trust me, I AM tech savvy! (despite being 15) so I can handle all the new features of Word 2007. I already have the Office 2003 disk which my Dad can install on his new HDX! He uses 2003 to do most of his software editing and such. The MediaCenter, I would give to my school library. My High school is a great place where I (obviously) go to learn every day! I utilize the library quite often, and I've seen quite a few students watch presentations in the library - things like this are what prompted me to give the MediaCenter to my school's library, making it slightly easier for them to do what they do best! I'm sure they'd greatly appreciate the gift, and they'd be able to figure it out - without my help! I want to thank Gadgetell again for holding this drawing, and thanks for allowing so many people to even THINK about giving away so much to the people they know and trust. Thanks to HP for giving away SO MUCH stuff!! I can't wait to see it my family wins this giveaway! Good luck to everyone, and happy holidays!!!!!
- RE: Enter to win over $6000+ worth of HP gear! [Gadgetell]Well - the drawing is tomorrow - GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE HERE! Thanks to Gadgetell for being sooo extremely generous! And more thanks than ever to everyone who'se got big plans for these computers - I know nobody plans to keep them all for themselves. I'd love to give the gift of magic! And one last thanks to HP - this is brightening the lives of 50 VERY lucky people around the world during the holiday season - GREAT giveaway! Good luck again!! Byeeee XD
- Yes, this somehow seems EXTREMELY unlikely, but I've heard little peeps about a $99 iPhone - but I really doubt it! (wouldn't it be nice, though!)
- These tips are great - I have a LG Voyager and just turning Bluetooth and Backlights off (or down) allows my phone to run for up to a week at a time! without charge! Thanks for the article, guys!
- RE: Enter to win over $6000+ worth of HP gear! [Gadgetell]This is just a great contest, giving everyone the chance to spread the magic of the holidays! My plans if I win? Well I'd keep the TouchSmart for myself The HDX18 would go to my Dad - all he does is work with computers! He's a software developer working in NY state, and I know he'd love a fresh start with a new computer! The Mini 1000 is definitely my Mom's! She's not exactly computer savvy, but I'm sure I could convince her (she's a stay-at home Mom) to accept it and play around with it! It would make it just that much easier for her to check her email, and stay mobile at anytime (And I know she can't handle Vista yet! So the XP is GREAT!) Hmmm... The dv4t would be my Aunt's. She's working a lot, and also traveling - this 14" notebook would make SUCH a good gift for her and her family for the holidays! The Photosmart Printer would go my Dad's business, as he most likely prints TONS of spreadsheets and things like that! (lol) Kung Fu Panda is SO going to my two little cousins! (They're 3 and 5 yrs old) That would be AWESOME for them!! I know they like movies like that, And they already have a DVD player - that would make a perfect gift! All in all, I REALLY hope I win, I'd loooove to give the gift of Magic!
- I already sugned up to the newsletter and the RSS feed - but I never actually made an account... but now I have all the reason to do so! Thanks guys! And good luck to everyone entering! PS - I already have all the gifts picked out for who I will give all the software and hardware to it I win! http://www.gadgetell.com/tech/comment/enter-to-win-over-6000-worth-of-hp-gear1/ Again, good luck!
- Hmmmm... somehow I don't think so It would be really nice if Apple released some kind of sub-$1000 notebook, but, as the article stated, this would undercut Macbook and Mac Pro sales - I don't think this would happen! It's something to think about for the future, though.... :P
- RE: You can win this HP Mini 1035NR! [Gadgetell]Wow! This computer looks amazing - so shiny and sleep - and portable! I'd give this one to my sister if I won the HP Magic Giveaway, it looks great! (Plus I know she can't handle Vista, so... it'll work!) I really hope I win
- Wow! This looks like an awesome giveaway - I've entered this contest on 5 sites already - and lost on all of them ... I hope this is my lucky chance!!!
