Congratulations to our HP TouchSmart winner, Dot S. from Oakham, MA!

HP TouchSmart tm2 tablet PC 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!

We travel a lot, so I would use the eBook feature to read while on the road.

From debp on April 23, 2010 :: 7:53 am

I am a subscriber. I would give it to my son. Due to some disabilities he can’t write well, but can type on a computer, so this would help him.

She also loves to read and has been dying for an e-reader and that function would make her happy, even without all the other benefits.

From Torin Weatherbee on April 23, 2010 :: 5:32 pm

Since i am a fairly avid tech guy, i would use it to type up/edit projects and my homework for school, use it for photo editing as well as just lounge time when i get the opportunity. Ive never had a laptop so i have to borrow my dads or sit on the desktop which is out of the way of everything so it is hard to multitask while using a computer. Plus my birthday is on the 25th so this would be an excellent present!

From Valerie C. on April 23, 2010 :: 5:39 pm

I’m a subscriber who could really use this. I’m a mom, real estate broker, student, and I use the computer a lot. I currently use the desktop, but, this would be perfect for me! Thanks

From Jessica on April 23, 2010 :: 5:41 pm

I am a subscriber.

I would love to use this laptop towards my design passion! Its become more than a hobby, so it would be great for my computing needs and then some. I would be able to design gardens and event color scemes using this great machine!
Above all that, it would be a great machine to full fill my business needs and maybe help me be more efficient!
