This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy here.

Enter to win a HP TouchSmart 600 for yourself and help us win another one for a deserving family!

Get ready to drool ladies…

We online moms appreciate technology — I mean a fabulous computer can make us shiver with love, and a slow, outdated machine can make us growl with frustration.

So we realize that when we show you what we are about to giveaway, it might make you REALLY excited… and really desperate to win it. You might turn green.

I know, cause I AM! I want this prize soooo badly!!!

Yes, we are going to give one of you a new computer. And not just any computer. We are giving away a fabulous HP TouchSmart 600 (valued at $1599.99)!!!

hptouchsmart

The HP TouchSmart 600 is a collaboration between Microsoft and HP to create best-in-class touch technology that melds with the power of Windows 7. This revolutionary desktop features some of the newest technology in home computing, including multi-touch which allows you to pinch, rotate, arc, flick, and press and drag to zip through applications, photos and more!

More reasons why we love the HP TouchSmart 600:

    The integrated hardware & software technology (including TouchSmart Live TV with optional TV tuner) allows you to view video, record TV, and play video games right on your PC.
    Windows 7 fast start up and shut down gives you easier access to your apps on the HP TouchSmart 600. This is HUGE for us busy moms who only have a few minutes before the kids wake up from naptime and every minute counts!

Just think how amazing the HP TouchSmart 600, with it’s sleek design, is going to look on your desk! OR you can even hang it directly on your wall!

  2. Hello! Quick question that’s totally off topic. Do you know how to
    make your site mobile friendly? My site looks weird when viewing from my iphone.
    I’m trying to find a template or plugin that might be able to resolve this
    issue. If you have any suggestions, please share.
    Many thanks!

  3. You may be combating what your internal voice is telling you.
    The next thing is to see what guidance is usually being offered.
    Your individual magnetism is operating at a level now so romance is
    most likely.

  11. What an awesome giveaway! Currently, our family computer has a 10gb hard drive so we could use an upgrade. Also my son has very hypermobile fingers due to a connective tissue disorder and sometimes needs a break from a mouse so a touch screen would be such a blessing!

    Thank you for such a wonderful chance!

He’s leaving to go work up in Canada ( a big sacrifice from him but we really need it) and I’d love for him to have a computer to communicate with the kids with. They’d have so much fun with the webcam (I just hope noone else will be able to see the shows they put on…because I know a wild rumpus will ensue!) I’m trying to find him a cheeap little notebook computer to take but having a Touchsmart Bang Pow mega laptop would be the coolest thing ever (and I won’t have to pick up extra shifts at work to pay for it!!! ..don’t tell my boss I said that…anyway thanks for giveway …can’t believe you’re gonna give it away!

  46. I would love to win this. My husband has been taking care of me for 5 years since I injured my back, so severely sometimes that I can’t even sit up and use the internet, and he works a 12 hour shift each day (or should I say night, driving about 45 miles each way). I would love to give this to him for his 42nd birthday on 12/12!

    Thanks HP and Microsoft, and 5M4M!

  52. I would like to nominate my son, Devon, for the 2nd computer. He is a freshman in high school and a computer of his own would be great. He is an amazing student/athlete and a wonderful kid. His little brother is his biggest fan. With me as a single mom it isn’t something I could afford to give him and he deserves it. He helps me so much!

  84. My girlfriend and I are starting up a home business and are really in need of a computer. We currently only have access to one at work or school and that is not going to work to our company’s advantage.

  134. This is a great offer. I am working to get a full time income from home and have been learning about making webinars, Submitting videos for marketing as well as creating screencasts with Camtasia. I can’t buy the software until I get a computer that can handle it.

    For now, I’m using a Dell Latitude that I got from Ebay. It is slow, slow, slow! It’s 10 years old! I hope we could win a computer so that I can get my work done quicker instead of rebooting 2 times every day (I’m not kidding, it locks up/gets hung up that often).

    I also have to thank Jendi for letting me know about this contest. Thanks Jendi! 😉

  136. I’m a subscriber.

    I have a fairly new computer, but my partners is not too crash hot and he has to share it with our 4 y/o. She badly needs her own computer. lol

    Okay, so Peter would give her the old one, the new one could be mine seeing as I need it for business and Peter can have this one 🙂

    Thanks from me, too Jendi.

  140. Our family needs a new computer so badly. The one we have now is older than dirt and slower than molasses. I’m sure it’s going to die any second now. I have a son in college and a daughter who is a Senior in high school, so they need a trusty computer for their school work.

    Thanks for telling me about this Jendi!

  169. I am super excited to even be entering this giveaway! I could really use a new desktop, and this one is just the bomb!

    My laptop died a few months ago and my desktop is nearing the point of death soon too I’m afraid. It’s almost 3 years old now and creeping along slowly.

    Good luck to everyone! What a cool prize 😉

  219. What a great computer!! I’m running on a 5-year-old Dell that is on it’s third hard drive. My kids complain because they can’t play some of the 3d games on Nickelodeon and the like, and it runs slower than molasses, even on a DSL connection, so we could definitely use and appreciate this! Being out of work almost steadily for the past two years, I definitely can’t afford to buy a new computer; it’s difficult enough to find a way to pay school fees and buy uniform shirts for the kids, even though they both are lucky enough to be in school tuition-free due to their grades. This would be the best present in the world for them!!

  235. I nominate my pastor to win the second one. He is one of the most amazing people I have ever met. Just one example: One night every week he goes to the laundromat. He doesn’t do his own laundry, he does laundry for the homeless. He pays for it, brings the detergent and orders pizza. He is a great man of God.

  245. I would love to win this awesome computer. It has everything in it I could ever dream of . My children live so far away that most of the time we communicate by computer. I have 4 children and 9 grandchildren, and having a computer with a webcam and mic built right in is a NaNee’s dream come true. I’m on disability, & I’m a transcriptionist & work out of my home. It sure would make life a whole lot easier for me. For the other one I would nominate my daughter who is a stay at home mom and also works at hom on the computer. She has four children, and it would make life a bit easier on her too to have a better computer.

  246. I would like to Nominate my MOM. As far as Mom’s goes she’s the greatest. My mom would give you the shirt off her back, the money in her pocket, the keys to her car, and not ask for any of it back. She’s a giver and a forgiver.

    SHe’s had a really last rough couple of years. She’s been put on disability due to slipping falling down the stairs at my Uncles house. She had to have back surgery and this did her no good. SHE can’t stand for more than 10 min at time. She’s been strugging with weight loss issues and can’t get exercise in due to her back injury. She just recently lost her mother, and mother in law. None of us kids live close to here and I know she misses us and her grandchildren terribly. Her computer is so old she can’t get it to stay connected for more than a few minutes at a time and she ws told to junk it and upgrade.
    THanks for your consideration.

  260. For the second nomination I would love this to go to my stepson James.

    James is terminally ill (and end stage) 14 year old. Because he gets sick often he has to stay at home alot. A power surge broke his old laptop and his mom and stepdad don’t have the money to fix it. As you can imgaine being 14 and terminal makes it very hard for him to find things to do without technology.

    This would be such a wonderful thing if he got this….he would be in shock!

    Thank you for this. Extremely generous of you.

  265. I would nominate my husband’s aunt Eileen for the second computer. This wonderful lady works so hard. She should be able to retire and she cannot. She has her family living with her and takes care of everyone. SHe always makes sure everyone is taken care of before herself and I think she deserves a special treat. She has an old computer that barely works and this would be so wonderful for her.

  269. I saw this at the Type a mom conference and fell in love with it. It is the most amazing prodcut I have seen. I would love to own this because Iknow it would be the last computer I would own!

  289. I am a grandmother of nine, mother of four and I would really like to win this computer because it has a built in webcam and speakers for one very good reason, and my youngest child lives out of State and the others live far away too, and I could literally see them more often.

  291. I just saw advertisements for this computer and it looks amazing. It’s great for someone like me who likes to run a few programs at once. If I were to get this AND the second computer I would nominate my father for it. He is a recovering alcoholic and is just now learning how to use a computer. It would be a great distraction for him to start reading blogs, researching and surfing the net and playing games etc.haha

  317. Hi 5Minutes for Moms!
    I want to enter the contest! YAY! If I had anyone to give a touchsmart to, it would be my twin sis, Paula Wells. She has waded the challenging waters of singlemotherhood for many years, often when it feels like the opportunity to get a break if few and far between. She’s a doll, and perseveres with a relentless spirit!

  330. We’d love this computer, as it probably won’t crash every 5 minutes like our current one! I’d like to nominate my dad, who is always struggling with other people’s computers to get them to work.

  331. Id love to win this. I have six kids, work from home as a writer and run a nonprofit all on my own. We all have to share our 9 year old desktop! Ive done everything on the list for extra entries. Wish me luck, this computer could change our life!

  371. I would LOVE one of these..just because! Because it’s so cool, because it’s new and I never get anything new, everything is always second hand (even though there it nothing wrong with that!) and because there are way too many people in my house to share one computer. We are always competing for time.

    Reply

  383. I would like to nominate my parents to receive the second computer. My father was recently diagnosed with leukemia but before they could even start him on chemotherapy they had to remove a cancerous kidney. So he’s recuperating from that and then waiting to start chemo. This TouchSmart would not only be a blessing for him during his recovery, but my mom also babysits a 14-mo old and a 3-yr old in addition to taking care of my dad. So the kids would definitely benefit as well. God bless you all and I hope the second computer goes to a really deserving and needy family!

  399. I definitely would love to win this computer. Ours is on its last leg. Our laptop screen doesnt work so I found a monitor at a yard sale and connected it to the laptop. The second one, if we were so lucky, would go to my son who is in college. He worked full time for three years and went to school full time all so I could return to college and be able to do my clinicals. He never complained once for carrying our financial load. He so deserves it.

  423. My grandmother would benefit so much from this computer. She lives with my aunt, who is severely disabled mentally & physically from a horrible accident that occurred about 4 years ago. My aunt’s husband divorced her after the accident (a long story) and so my grandmother (who is over 70) is her primary caretaker. She is an amazing woman who is on-the-go constantly. No one I have met even comes close to her level of intensity and energy.

    I know my grandmother struggles with normal computers a bit – she dislikes sitting down much, for one thing! However, I think this touchscreen could help simplify things a bit – and the screen is so nice & big for her. I know she would enjoy sending/receiving pictures & email if she had a nice new computer to use instead of her old one. Most importantly, I think she could really benefit from being connected to other caretakers. I can’t think of a day in her life when she hasn’t been taking care of someone. Perhaps the computer could give her some way of connecting with other people in a way that doesn’t involve taking care of their physical needs.

    There’s also the hope that my aunt could use it as well. She plays a couple games that are intended to exercise certain cognitive functions, in hopes that she can eventually gain control over her emotions & function at a higher level (nrain injuries are so complex). However, I wonder if a touchscreen might be a great tool for her to use, especially as she can barely see out of one eye because of the accident.

    At any rate, I know that so many people need this computer. But I thought I’d write about my grandmother, just to add her name to the list of deserving people.

    He has done so much for me and my family. I’ve been sick for a long time and he has given up a lot to take care of me. He also helps out my mom and dad. My mom has Multiple Sclerosis and it’s hard for my dad because he’s been her caregiver for 19 years. She became bedridden in 1990!

    Thanks so much for the wonderful contest. 🙂

    Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

  587. Wow! What a blessing it would be to have that computer for our family. Our old laptop is so old and slow and we get so frustrated every time we use it. For homework, we usually give up and just go to the library and use their computers.
    Thanks for the chance to win!

  601. I I could nominate someone, I would nominate my brother in law Nels. He went through the MidWest flooding, lost his job and went back to school fulltime. Doesnt sound difficult, but he’s 40+ and is struggling because he is using my old dinosaur (this one) to write papers and going to computer lab. A computer like the touchsmart would make his life a little easier.

  631. I nominate myself for the Second HP TouchSmart 600, if I don’t win the first giveaway, because I am deserving, starting my life over after 35 years of marriage, disabled due to two separate work injuries (so I live on SSI Disability) and I’m relocating to Oregon to care for my elderly parents and their sheep, lol:) So, Santa-baby, leave a TouchSmart 600 under my tree, please.

  636. I REALLY WANT TO WIN THE HP TOUCHSMART 600!!! I need a new computer desperately! Mine freezes and crashes way too often and it’s so frustrating. I’m in the midst of a divorce (after 35 years!) and will be moving out of state to care for my parents and the HP Touchsmart 600 would be so awesome in my new life!

  648. As for the second nomination…..I have to nominate my mom and dad. Now, before it sounds too cliche, it is not for the typical reasons.

    My parents are amazing in the way they love. They have me, all grown up with three kids of my own, my 15 year old brother, and they are also in the process of their fourth adoption. My little siblings are 7, 6, 4, and 2. All of them have special needs ranging from autism spectrum, neurological impairments, cerebral palsy, and more. This comptuer would be a blessing for them for all they do, a great way to maintain and research information on the kids, as well as a great learning tool for those adorable kids.

    Thank you so much for the contest & God bless!

  731. I hope I don’t sound greedy, but I would like to nominate myself. I have wanted a laptop for so long and although they’re not that pricey, there is always something that we need to spend money on more than a laptop. I blog and there are times I feel neglectful being stuck at the desk and I just stop and shut it down. Desktop is so restrictive.
    I haven’t worked on getting to conventions because I don’t have one – how fun it would be to go!!
    I can just imagine blogging in the park in the summertime while the kids play – wow a whole new world 🙂
    Good luck to 5M4M and to all of us – whoever wins will be a lucky duck!!

  734. I would like to Nominate my Art Class for your second Giveaway computer. I teach Art in a small private Christian School on an almost nothing budget. It would be so Wonderful to have this computer in the front of my room,
    while I teach each day, to show my students a “picture” of what I’m teaching them about. We have no books, at this time I have some OLD art books that I photo copy a picture from in black and white. What a joy it would be to pull up the Mona Lisa or Van Goghs sunflowers or a Snowman,,, ( we live in Alabama, not much snow) Or a tree in the fall COLORS , the latest project I just taught by cutting out pictures from Magazines and making a poster for them to study. This type computer would be a blessing………..A pictures worth a thousand words…

  786. For the second HP TouchSmart 600 {if I don’t win the first one hehe} I would nominate myself… because I seriously need a new computer. As I said in my initial comment, I’ve only had bottom of the line PC’s that cost no more than $500 at WalMart. My web/graphic design business has picked up lately and this computer – while it does carry out the tasks I need to perform – is slow, often freezes, and gives me the ‘blue scree’ quite frequently. Any designer knows how bad that can be – especially when it does it JUST before you save your work… then you have to start from scratch. ALLLLL that inspiration and hard work GONE. Ouch. 🙂 Plus, I’ve gotten involved in several blogging/writing ventures, teaming up with some amazing people and I’m going to need a reliable computer. To boot, working on my own books {5 of them!} is pretty rough when I am limited on how many programs this computer can successfully run simultaneously!

    IF I were lucky enough to win the first one, I would nominate my mom for the second. She has a several-years-old laptop that is running Windows XP and it’s got a terrible lag, so she doesn’t get online as often as she’d like… she lives in another state so my blog is mainly the only way she can keep up with her grandchildren.. She found out earlier this year that she only has 30% operability of BOTH of her kidneys… She still works full time but since the insurance company is considering her illness to be preexisting, they aren’t covering most of her medical expenses for 12 months, so she is not able to spring for the cost of a new computer. Soooo I’d LOVE to be able to gift her with a computer that she can actually USE {and use often} …

    Those are my nominations!

    Reply

  835. I would nominate my parents for the second computer. Over the last 9 years, they have owned more computers than anyone I know! They haven’t been able to afford a new computer, so friends of theirs find parts and piece together computers for them. Unfortunately, they only last so long, before it doesn’t work anymore and can’t be fixed, so back to square one. It has been a frustrating process of wanting to keep my dad’s business on a computer, but can’t trust them, so he has file cabinets upon file cabinets of paperwork on all of his jobs. They really need a new, reliable computer.

  844. I would like to win this computer as mine has recently died and I am now using a rented computer until I can save up on another.

But I was working on the computer and he/she just came in and kicked me off the computer to use it. I would love for mom to have a computer of her very own. To surf the web and do what she loves to do without dad bugging her every minute of the day wanting to do his stuff.

  888. This is a great giveaway especially for a family in need. As our computer is our only means of comunication with family around the state since my mother has had rheumatoid arthritis for many years and can not get around very well.

  898. “If you could bless someone this Christmas with an amazing HP TouchSmart 600, who would it be?” I would have to nominate my cousin for this computer giveaway. Four months ago, she woke up to almost complete paralysis (basically, overnight) and was told she had a condition called “transverse myelitis.” She has undergone intensive physical and occupational therapy, but her life is forever changed… and 32 years old. She is able to use the computer with a special typing device, but could never afford such a fabulous one. I’d be thrilled to win her a Touchsmart 600 — and make her life just a tiny bit better.

    Hello Friends,

    Most of you probably don’t know it, but my new internet obsession is Giveaways and Sweepstakes. I have a Giveaway I want to share with all of you. It’s for an HP TouchSmart 600 computer. For Real! Brand Spanking New! It’s being given away by two sisters on their Blog page “5 Minutes for Mom”.

    It costs nothing to enter, and entering is easy! Check it out. It’s a trustworthy site, I’ve been a visitor there for a while now, and trust them implicitly. Would I steer you wrong? Of course not! Check it out, and if I can’t win it, I hope at least one of my family or friends can. 😛

    Good luck!

  974. I nominate myself for the second computer giveaway. That is, if you have the second one to give away, and as long as I haven’t won the first computer. I know nominating myself to receive the computer may appear selfish, but it’s not really for me, it’s for my husband. He’s self employed, its not a big company, he’s not getting rich by any means, It’s just him, that’s it. He doesn’t have a company, he just subcontracts jobs through other companies. He does telephone and data communication cabling, which means that he crawls through floor and ceiling crawl spaces and other highly desirable cubby holes, and runs computer, telephone, and fiber optic lines so that people’s computers and telephones are where they want them and they work.

    He is truly deserving. I had to leave my job of 8 years in 2003, due to a sudden disability. I’ve not been able to return to work since. When I stopped working, my family lost almost half of it’s income. My husband has been pulling full financial burden of the family since then. Since he’s self employed, he has no benefits. No insurance (too expensive), no paid holidays, no sick days, no vacation days, Now, he has to worry about his computer burning out on him, a computer that he needs to use for his business, for billing, and working on blueprints, work orders, and emails. He can’t even get one on credit, because we had to file bankruptcy last year, we just couldn’t keep our heads above water any longer. I receive disability, but it’s only $580 a month, not much when you were used to making $35k a year.
    I know this may sound a bit heavy, but I swear every word is true. I know there are others out there that may be worse off than us, but I’m hoping the circumstances we are in will touch your heart, and we could win one of these computers. Thanks, Jojo

  976. My sister just made an intercontinental move this summer with her family and her transition has not been easy. My BIL is still commuting to the US leaving her to adjust to a new country, language and bureaucracy with her 5 children alone. To make matters worse her house fell through at the last moment so she was left renting a house that still doesn’t have the kitchen installed so she can’t even unpack and settle. Now, to top it off she was just robbed last week. They took everything of value including their 2 computers and my BIL’s laptop for work. We miss her tremendously and loved being able to speak to her on skype and feel so disconnected now that she needs us most. I would love to win the computer for her!

  981. I would love to win this for my goddaughter. She’s been disabled since birth and her life is pretty empty. She’s home all day with not much to do except listen to her music. She can’t work and her health isn’t good and a computer would be something that would allow her to join a social network and maybe expand her circle of friends. Christmas is coming and I know she’d be the child she is if she found this under the tree. Thank you for the opportunity to enter this.

  1025. I would like to nominate my friend Angela. She is a WONDERFUL wife and mom and a hadworking blogger who also works from home at a telecommuting job while homeschooling her three children. Her husband lost his job this fall, and things have been very hard for them these past few months. I know that heading into the Christmas season, they are feeling the crunch financially even more. However, she has kept her faith string and not lost heart, and I have not heard her complain or whine about her situation even once.
    I think this would be great for Angela to win, because it would bless her family in so many ways. Her husband could use it in his job search, and Angela would be able to use it to help her in her blogging, her work at home job, and her homeschool with the kids.
    angeal is a kind and wonderful friend, and I would love to see her win this incredible gift, because she is constantly giving to others and I believe it is time for some big blessings to come her way!

  1056. I would nominate my dad for the Touchsmart PC giveaway. He was let go from his job in IT in February when the company downsized and because of his age he has been declined for every application he has put in for work since then and believe me he has put in A LOT! His job provided health insurance for my mom who has multiple sclerosis so currently she is off her meds because they cannot afford them. If he received a new computer I think it would really encourage him to start a business of his own, he has been toying with the idea of starting an ETSY shop doing homemade things just to get some money flowing in and, well, I think this would be a really great kick start.

He is constantly using his computer and the internet to help with his job search but his computer is old and at the minimum, the fan needs to be replaced. Since he does not work full time and he is paying back his student loans, he cannot afford to fix his computer nor buy a new one. It would help him so much if he had a new computer.

  1087. I would like to nominate my best friend, Sue, to win this computer. She has had a very rough year. This summer, she found a lump that turned out to be ovarian cancer. In July, they removed the mass (football size) and did a hysterectomy. She went through chemotherapy treatments, and lost all her hair with dignity! Now that her hair is finally starting to grow back, she’s developed some new problems and is going through testing to determine whether or not the cancer may have spread to her lymph nodes.

    I hate to see her going through all of this and having to suffer. She’s young (only 36) and has 2 beautiful daughters who are scared for their mom. I would love to see her family blessed with this special surprise.

  1213. For the second computer, I would like to nominate a dear young girl named Kayla. I teach Kayla on Wednesday nights, and her story absolutely breaks my heart. Kayla’s mom can’t stay sober long enough to take care of her children. (Kayla has one brother.) Their dad is always working, and Kayla spends more time with her aunt than she does her own family. Kayla recently had a birthday, and her parents refused to do anything for her, even after they had just given her brother a huge party for his birthday. The entire situation just breaks my heart. Kayla has the sweetest heart of any young girl I have ever met, and she deserves the world. Having a new computer to do schoolwork on, and to make her feel special is exactly what she needs. I would love to make her Christmas just a little more special this year.

That being said, my computer is in horrible shape, and I desperately need a new one. With a new computer I could finally have a place to store clients’ photographs, design work, and everything else I need to get my businesses where they should be. Thank you for the opportunity.

  1239. While this would be an incredible addition to the house (I wonder how gaming is affected by the touchscreen…), the second computer would make a world of difference to my mother. She’s still working hard at 60, and her ancient Pentium computer just isn’t cutting it any more, especially since neither of my sisters have computers at their houses and need hers for access as well.

  1242. First, I’d like to nominate my parents. One is retired, while the other is disabled. Other than their TV, their computer is often their only form of entertainment. They had a good computer, but it crashed. They could only replace it with an inexpensive, low-quality computer. Thank you for offering something that I could only dream of giving them myself.

  1279. I would like to nominate my husband for this computer.
    We have 3 little girls, ages 3, 2 and 9 months. I am a nurse, but my husband works hard so that I don’t have to work and can stay home to raise our children to be the kind of people we’d like them to be, rather than having a daycare raise them for us. He is a school teacher to 8th graders (so we don’t make the most money in the world). He spends his extra time helping the kids in an after school program to try to make a little extra money for our family. He also wants to try a side line of work from home, but we don’t have a computer that can handle the program and don’t have the money to buy one. This computer would be great for our family, and especially for him, so he can pursue ways to better provide for our family.
    I don’t want this to be a charity for our family, so please give it to someone else if more deserving than we are. He would probably be so embarrassed if he knew I was doing this. He is a great man and provider and we do fine, but I would love for him to have this computer.

    I would love to nominate my mom for the second computer because she so deserves it. She has sacrificed so much for our family over the years and still does to this day. Having me at 18. Then not only raising me but also taking on the responsibility to raise my dads two small children (from his previous marriage) when she was only 23. Which she did not have to do. But did because she knew it was the right thing to do. Then my younger brother when she was 24. Which made her a mother of 4 young children at the age of 24. And for staying with my dad even through the toughest of times (gambling problems, drinking, etc.) which in turn ended up leading us all to the Lord including my dad.

    The main reason I would love for her to have this computer is because about 9 years ago my dad had past away at the age of 53. That put a big weight on my mom’s shoulder. Not only did she have to deal with the grieving but she was now living alone. And although she did work she did not drive. So at the age of 48 my mom learned how to drive, left her job and moved to MD to live closer to my youngest brother leaving all her friends and some family members behind.

    Now she has been in MD for about 8 1/2 years and all of us kids that she had raised since we were little live here as well. My mom still does not work but instead she has been taking care of our children, her grandchildren. My son was 4 1/2 months old when I moved here. I was a single mom and my mom helped me out so much and even till the day she still does. Since I started working at my new job, my mom has been here at 6:30 am weekday morning so that I can go to work. (I’m a single mom). And she not only takes him to school but picks him up from the bus stop and watches him until I come home. She has been watching him for free since he was 2 years old so that I could work. When she easily could be working herself. She has also helped my sister as well because up until about 2 years ago she and her husband were both working and needed someone to watch her 3 youngest. So at times my mom had 3-4 kids at some point throughout the day. Still sacrificing every day of her life for her family. I love her so much and would love to see her blessed with this special gift.

    Anyhow, I would love for her to have this computer so that she can keep in touch with her friends from back home. And so that she can have access to the internet to do what all of us moms and grandma’s like too do. I can’t thank you ladies enough for the opportunity. Another blessing in the making. : )

Actually 4 now, my sons best friend just moved in a couple of weeks ago. I was laid off a few months ago. I recieve no child support for my boys. It’s hard enough trying to raise 3 kids on 1 income let alone unemployment. Of course we all have our own things we like to do online and the kids need pc for homework. We all share 1 very outdated pc my mom gave me back in 2000. This would absolutely make my boys christmas which would make mine in return because I really don’t know how Im going to even manage anything for them this christmas. It’s a sad world around here right now. I sure wish the economy would start picking up. I hope you will consider us if you win an extra pc we would be very greatful…

  1404. I need to win this for my daughter who has asked for Santa to grant her wish for a computer that has a touch screen and has the technology that will allow her to learn despite her disabilities. With school cutbacks she no longer has the use of a laptop from the school.
    Our desktop is not strong enough to handle her complex software and all the tools she needs to be independent in her learning. Becca cannot write, she has dyslexia and the computer has to read for her, she has to have word prediction software, but the biggest challenge is now the need for a touch screen.

    My daughter Becca is now 20 but is losing the coordination and strength in her fingers. She can no longer use the mouse for more than a few minutes without her hands cramping up and locking. She needs a touch screen and a desk monitor, with a large enough screen to be able to see straight ahead and enlarge the writing in the window due to eyesight issues.

    Becca has Noonan syndrome, severe learning disabilities and has limited neck movement. Looking down causes her neck to freeze and causes dizziness and migraines. She saw this computer this fall and researched that this is what she needs to be able to do her schoolwork and reach out to the only friends she has through the computer as she is on homebound school for now 7 years. The computer is her window to the world, and her learning.

    I would love to win this to make my daughters wish come true. Becca is a survivor young person, who has come so far, but her body is wearing down, joints are falling apart, her elbows locking. Everyday she is in pain, and the computer has been her escape, but even using it causes pain.

    I can’t believe that I found this giveaway, after she has spent the last week “showing” me the HP touch screen and telling me that Christmas is the time of miracles and her angels will find her one.
