HP TouchSmart Mother's Day & Grads Giveaway!
Giveaway sponsored by Hewlett Packard
Congratulations to our HP TouchSmart winner, Dot S. from Oakham, MA!
If you're a Project Runway fan, you have seen the contestants using HP TouchSmart notebooks to design their fashion creations. The unique, convertible design offers a full-size keyboard and can also be used in slate mode as a sketchpad with a digital pen.
And even if you're not a fashion designer, the versatile HP TouchSmart offers many more uses than a standard laptop:
Display: 12.1-inch LED BrightView touchscreen
Processor: Intel Pentium with integrated graphics
Memory: 3GB DDR3 RAM
Hard drive: 320GB
Wi-Fi: Wireless N
Battery life: 9.75 hours
Software: Bumptop, DigiFish Dolphin, Corel Paint it!,
Microsoft Works 9.0 and Megatouch Games
- Stay connected even as you cook up culinary delights in your kitchen. The touchscreen gives you quick access to recipes, demonstration videos and photos without the need for a keyboard or mouse.
- Use your TouchSmart in the family room as a media server. Scroll through music, videos and photos with a flick of your finger, and then send them to your TV using the built-in HDMI port.
- Turn the touchscreen into a canvas and bring out your artistic side with the included Corel Paint It! software.
- Rotate the touchscreen and fold it flat to turn your TouchSmart into an eReader using eBooks from Kindle, Barnes & Noble and others.
With all these uses, the HP TouchSmart would make a great gift for Mother's Day or for a new graduate! So in honor of mothers and grads, HP is giving away a TouchSmart tm2 tablet PC (MSRP $899.99) to one lucky entrant!

If I were fortunate to win I would finally be able to start the blog I have been wanting to.
With 6 of us sharing one computer it is difficult to use. I would be able to do more work from home and we really need the income with hubby out of work for medical reasons.

If I win it will be used for everyday type stuff of checking email, playing games, reading, and more. It will be especially helpful if I have to travel as I do a lot of online advertising as I work as a web designer for a living.
This TouchSmart would make a great gift for my mom, although I’m guessing my dad will probably use it at least as much she will. But that’s okay. It will definitely get a lot of use. Thank you for the amazing chance to win.
My mom has been asking me to buy her a computer for years and I just don’t have the funds for it! :( it makes me feel really bad but if I won this for her she would use it in so many ways. She loves to cook and she can have a pc in the kitchen to follow recipes on the internet. she has also taken a liking to facebook and loves to post pics and she can easily scroll through her pics on the touchsmart.
I think she would definitely benefit from this COOL computer :D
I would use this to keep in touch with my son, daughter and grandson, prepare lessons for my Bible study group, I would also enjoy using the ereader functionality. Being able to research recipes online would be wonderful.
I love to tweet,facebbok and read blogs but I only have a desk top computer if I won I would be mobile I could keep up in different place that would be oh so phat!
