HP Notebooks Giveaway
This dad blogger is giving away two HP notebooks. Today is the start of the HP Back to School: Better Together Giveaway on my dad blog. Thanks to Hewlett Packard, Microsoft, and Timbuk2, Daddy Forever is giving away a HP DV6 Laptop, a HP Mini 110 Netbook, and a Timbuk2 notebook bag to one lucky winner. If the winner is located outside of the USA, a HPShopping.com credit will be given for the value of the notebooks companion bundle. My contest runs September 2nd through September 6th (Pacific time: UTC-7 time zone). The winner will be announced on Monday, September 7th. The winner will have 48 hours to claim the prizes (be sure to look for the winner announcement on Monday).
How to Enter
There are four ways to enter the HP Notebooks Giveaway. You can enter up to four times, but only once in each category. No sad stories, bribes, or blood sacrifices please (the winner will be randomly selected). Below are the four ways you can enter:
-
Select Your Own HP Companions
HP is giving away the DV6 laptop and the Mini 110 netbook as a companion set. In other words, the DV6 is your main computer and the Mini 110 is your computer on the go. If you could pick your own companion set, which computers would you select from the HP web site? Let me know by leaving a comment. You can select the DV6 OR the Mini 110 as part of your combo, but you can’t select the DV6 and Mini 110 together (ie: DV6 and xyz OR Mini 110 and abc, but NOT DV6 and Mini 110 — that would be too easy). You can select two HP notebooks or a HP notebook and a HP desktop computer as your companion bundle. -
Suggest a Mom or Dad Blog
In the comments area, recommend a dad or mom blog. List the title of the blog and the web address. To prevent copying, you can’t suggest a mom or dad blogger that someone else has already recommended. You also can’t suggest Daddy Forever or your own blog. By mom or dad blog, I’m going to define it as a blog written by a father or mother. (Note: Some comments are held in moderation for various reasons and will be inserted in the appropriate time slot once the comment has been approved. If this results in a duplicate of your suggestion, you may recommend another mom or dad blog. It’s your responsibility to check before the deadline.) -
Tweet or Retweet About the Laptop Giveaway
You can enter by tweeting about the HP Notebooks Giveaway. Use this retweet link (you need to be logged into Twitter) or write your own tweet. Be sure to include the url to this post (http://daddyforever.com/2009/09/02/hp-laptops-notebook/ or the tiny url version) and the hash text (#HPBTS) so I can find it. It would be a good idea to let me know about your tweet in the comments area or via the contact form (just in case I missed the tweet). -
Write About the Laptops Giveaway
If you have a blog or web site, write about my HP notebooks giveway and link to this post (http://daddyforever.com/2009/09/02/hp-laptops-notebook/). Let me know the URL of your post in the comments areaor via the contact form(in case the trackback doesn’t show up).

I like the HP Pavilion Elite e9180t series and the HP Pavillion dv6z Artist Edition 2 series. This would be perfect for my college homework and my graphic design hobby. Thank you
I have never chosen a computer and I don’t really understand the features very well so this is really hard, but I think that I’d choose the DV6 and the HP TouchSmart IQ800t series with any upgrades available.
I like the blog http://aprilslittlefamily.com
One of my favorite mom blogs is…the Mom Buzz. Great website.

My favorite mom blog is the Traveling Mamas blog over at http://www.travelingmamas.com. They write tips, travel reviews and do giveaways for traveling moms and parents.
I would choose the Mini 110 netbook and the HP Touchsmart tx2-1270us.
A mom blog I would suggest is The Bean Blog. It’s about a mom “trying to stay sane while parenting five kids, working full-time and going college part-time.” http://www.thebeanblog.com/
I retweeted about the contest at: http://twitter.com/spencerspellman/status/3802670350
I would get this laptop HP HDX 18t Premium series and the mini 110 netbook. It would be great to have a little one to grab on the go.
I posted link on blog and tweeted.
Laptops would be great as father of 4 kids, it is hard to provide technology for all.

I like the HP Touch-smart IQ500t and the mini 110
I would choose for my main computer, the HP Firebird (made by the VoodooPC devision of HP) and the NV4050NA Envy 133 notebook in orange
if you dont count voodoo (which would be a shame, because they are amazing =])
I would choose the Envy 133 and the HP TouchSmart IQ800t series
Just so you know, if you haven’t heard of voodoo, it IS entirely a part of HP so those should count.
Thanks for the great sweepstakes!
A reliable portable HP Mini 110 Netbook and a HP HDX 18t Premium series is on my wish list. Thanks for the sweep.
If I had a choice I would choose a bundle consisting of an HP Pavilliondv6z laptop and the HP Touch Smart 1Q800t series because this bundle would fit my computer needs.
Main = HP Pavilion Elite e9180t Companion = HP HDX 18t notebook
I suggest Simply Savvy Susan http://www.simplysavvysusan.com a great mom blog featuring lots of savvy tips!

My perfect combo would be the HP Pavilion dv6z series and the HP TouchSmart IQ500t series. Thanks so much.
I like the HP HDX 16t Premium series for my gaming needs and the HP Mini 110 XP edition series for my on the go computer. The mini would be great to take on a trip because it is so compact.

I”d choose the HDX 18 t (could see it without my glasses!) and the dv2z as my portable!
Going thru 700+ entries would be futile to add a new mom/dad blog, but themomblogs.com is a DIRECTORY of “mom blogs”. Hope this counts as an entry.
I’d get the:
HP Pavilion dv6z Artist Edition 2 series
and
HP Pavilion Slimline s5150t series
Don’t know which one I’d choose because I’m not that computer savy.. just know that I use my laptop all the time. Always looking for new websites and ideas. Can’t tweet….because I don’t understand twitter!
I want the Mac Daddy:
HP HDX 18t Premium series and the
HP Pavilion Slimline s5100z series
My bundle – HP TouchSmart IQ800t and HP Mini 110 XP
