We know that a lot of moms in our 5 Minutes for Mom community are trying to go back to school, are working on their degree, or are trying to start their own business.

Before having my wonderful little boy a year ago I was working on my premed degree. I am very much wanting to continue with my college education and a new laptop would help me so much, the one i have now is very old, the screen is broken, and the battery does not hold a charge. Until I go back to school I am also trying to earn extra money doing freelance writing for an online website and a new laptop would really help with that as well. Please Please PLEASE consider me for this giveaway, it would help this new mommy out sooo much.
Thank you,
April E.

I would like to win the mini because I’ve never had a lap top type of computer and I would like to be able to start my own interior design business. I’ve heard that HP’s are very good with the graphics.
Thanks,
Chris F.
Kirsten says
My mother isn’t the strongest at new technology; many times she’s had to call me up to ask how to turn the sound on, copy and paste, open a new browser tab, etc. Having a new little laptop of her very own might help to educate her. 🙂

Very nice, and very fun.

Karen says
I soooo need this! I want to work from home so that I can be with my boys and this would allow me to take it to doctor’s appts, waiting in the car line at school, etc. This would be a blessing to me this Mother’s Day!! Great Giveaway!!
Joe says
My mom could really use a laptop! She’s been stuck working from home recently, and a laptop would give her the flexibility to go to the coffee shop when she needs to get out of the house.
Jeffrey Legg says
I would love to win this for my wife, the mother of my boys. She could really use this to keep track of so many things on the go. One boy is mentally impaired an on all kinds of meds and has all kinds of doctors appointments. This would be awesome for her to have all her research at her finger tips all the time. One boy is super active in school, band, sports so there always things to schedule. She could also use it to quick check her emails and take it with here. Oldest boy is married and living 1,000 miles away, she could easily and quickly keep up with him over the net. Would be awesome!

The HP Mini 210 would be great for my mom for one very simple reason:
Before my mom knew any better she bought a Toshiba and now that’s it breaking down on her she regrets it. I taught her the number one rule: HP for life!
Maja says
My mom needs a computer. She never owned one, always had to share and ask, so this would be such a wonderful and needed prize for her.
Molly Capel says
I would love to have this for myself. I’m home on maternity leave (just had my 6th child), and am trying to build up my ebay business, sI hopefully can make up my income-staying home & being available to my kids, especially strengthening the breastfeeding bond for my daughter & I, is my top priority!
mcapel4444 at aol.com
heather says
My mom could really use this! She doesn’t have a computer and is constantly asking me to do things for her or look things up. If she had a computer of her own, she could do things on her own, instead of waiting to have me do whatever she needs.
Amanda Baird says
I need this because I am going away to college and need one to further my education experience.
Jesslyn A. says
My most wonderful mother will sson be undergoing major back/spina surgery and will be hospitalized and in rehab for several months. The HP Mini 210 would make a perfect gift for her to help her make good use of her “down time” during the long recovery period.

Jessica Bird says
I think my mom really deserves this HP mini. She is going through a lot of life changes like trying to find a job, moving to a different house, and keeping in touch with her girls (who will all be moved out as of fall 2010). She has an old dell computer that we bought back in 03′ when we first moved back to KY and it has crashed hundreds of times. She desperately needs this computer to work for her but unfortunately its starting to fizzle out for good. Our budget is tight and even more so now because the youngest is off to college so this would be an amazing mothers day gift!!!!!!!
Amanda A says
I would love to win because my laptop has been acting crazy lately, and it’s just a matter of time before it crashes for good!!
gina says
I am in the process of trying to start my own consulting business, so this would be perfect…Thank you for the giveaway!

Sarah says
I’m a mom going into her senior year of college and my laptop just broke. I can’t afford a new one so this would be a lifesaver.
Joyce K. says
I have been toying with the idea to go back to school to finish my undergraduate degree. Only about 2 semesters (full time) needed to finish. Life had gotten in the way, and without a degree, if anything happened to my current job, I’d have a very difficult time finding one comparable. An HP Mini 210 would do alot to motivate me to get my butt in gear and register for the summer semester. I couldn’t use the excuse that the lack of a computer at home would put me at a disadvantage anymore.
Dianne Martinez says
thanks for the chance!
sheilacalabretta says
My laptop is missing keys and th sreen is being held up with clear tape (it doesn’t type righ either)….keys dont work. Woud be sooooo great to have one that works! Thanks!
Julie L says
I don’t have my own computer. I would love to win because then I wouldn’t have to share the family computer anymore plus red is my favorite color-thanks for the giveaway
Steph says
I could use the HP Mini for helping my kids with their school work. It would alot easier having a small computer to help me help them with their research. They will be in Kindergarten and 1st grade next year, so it would really come in handy for those special projects.
Jennifer Jozwiak says
I need his because I’m going back to school this summer and need somthing that i can carry easily along with my little girl!
Kelly Hartman says
I am starting a travel agency and this would be perfect for my business!
gina says
my laptop died so sad! can’t afford a new one. plus starting up a small buisness this will really help. God Bless you and your family.
Kathy says
I would love to win this so that I could have a laptop to call my own. I usually have to wait in the evenings to get on our computer because school work and the kids always comes first. After that its the hubby turn (checking his sports sites) and then its my turn. When my turn comes around I’m too tired to go on !!
Jessica says
What a great giveaway! This little gadget would be a great way for me to access my email on the go, quickly and easily pull up presentations, and perform research to compare quotes on the fly! I plan parties, and do landscaping work, as well as working a day job! Having a great portable device like the mini 210 would be a great way for me to stay efficient and connected to my work and family!
Happy mothers day to you all! Contest link re-tweeted!

heather says
i have the greatest mom in the world! she recently received a devastating diagnosis, and i will be spending a lot of time with her at the hospital this summer. i am willing to make any personal sacrifice necessary to take her to her appointments, but having a mini to keep me connected sure would make life a little easier! money is tight and my laptop crashed on me, so this would be a huge blessing!
Deborah says
I can’t afford to buy this so it would be a dream to win!! I would like to be able to work on things away from home and get help on how to use photoshop from others while out of town. Wow, just dreaming of winning is exciting…sure hope the dream comes true 🙂 Thank you for letting me dream…crossin’ my fingers & toes!!
vanessa hunter says
I am a disabled mother of 2 caring for a disabled parent. I suffer from Rheumatoid Arthritis. I do EVERYTHING online, and having a computer that I could carry myself would be a dream! Due to my condition, I can’t sit in chairs that are low; which makes using the computer a difficult task. Owning a mini would give me more computer access and just make my life complete.

Hi. Thank you so very much for posting this amazing giveaway.
I’m a mom and wanna-be seamstress! 🙂 I have been DYING to start an Etsy shop, but currently only have access to the internet at work. I would love to be able to start my on children’s clothing line and be able to sell it to the public. I currently only sell to friends and family. This computer would give me the opportunity to do just that and open up a whole new realm of possibilities.
Thanks!

When I help my hubby with his business this would be really handy for me.
susitravl says
I want to work on my blog, but my laptop is missing keys, space bar doesn’t work very well and it’s too frustrating to do much of anything on that machine. This would be the perfect Mother’s Day gift for me!

Amanda S. says
I am currently back in school full time, working on my degree in accounting. I have three kids, so I’m taking classes online, and I could certainly use the HP Mini!! It would help me immensely to be able to work on assignments while I’m on the go with my kids. Thank you for the chance to win!

We truly need a new computer, because our old one freezes up on us. 🙁

Constance L says
I am currently working on my associates degree for logistics and this would be a great help for researching subjects for papers.
constancelavery at msn dot com
Kimberly says
I went back to school in September. It is so much harder the second time around as I have so much more on my plate and haven’t thought about most subjects since sophmore year in high school. In December, my lap top finally died so now I have to do all of my work twice; Write it out in class and then type it at home on our desk top before I turn it in. I know it will be worth it in the end, but sometimes that light at the end of the tunnel looks a little dim. This would truely be a God send!
Michelle says
I would love to win this so that when my husband deploys in the fall again I’ll be able to keep in touch with him wherever I go!

Heather Silver says
What an incredible giveaway! I currently work full time and have a home business. I am working on expanding my home business so I can stay home full time. I have a soon to be step daughter and plan on getting married next year. My plans are to work full time from home once we have children of our own.
I am also going to be starting school again in the Fall for journalism. I love to write, have my own blog and have been doing some freelance work for extra cash. My laptop broke three years ago and with my fiance being laid off, purchasing a new laptop was last on our list. Having a working laptop again (especially one so small and portable) would be awesome! I would be able to work my business from anywhere. I would also love to have something I can bring with me when I meet clients from my home business. Currently, I have to look up answers to their questions or prices when I get home and call them back that night. If I had this, I would be able to answer any questions they had and do invoicing right in front of the customer.
Thank you so much for the opportunity to win this. I know whoever wins will be your #1 fan 🙂

I had a part time job for the last 2 years that I just left yesterday hoping to free up time to dive into real estate again, I could really use all the help I can get and this hp mini would be wonderful!
Tiffanie M. says

Shannon M says

Mark says
I have been searching for some time to get a small mini laptop for my mother especially that she uses an old hp windows 98 desktop for her daily chores to keep track of all her activities. Due to the hard situation we are in for quite a time, we had a hard time looking for a great deal. My mother came in great awe when she stumbeld upon this website and figured out that maybe it would be her luck to win this prize especially for her birthday in the upcoming days before the contest expires. I too figured this would be a good surprise for her, since she would need an upgrade and has much use out of a laptop. This laptop would satify her needs especially that its portable, faster, and lighter. Hope her wishes come true because she is a great mom who deserves a gift of love.
TIM SMITH says
MY MOM NEEDS A WAY TO WRITE HER CHILDHOOD STORIES AND HER DELICIOUS RECIPES
Holly at Tropic of Mom says
My husband got me a netbook after my baby was born so I wouldn’t have to retreat to the home office all the time to use the “big computer” and stay where the boys were playing when I needed to look something up or get something done online. But it got a virus and hasn’t been the same since. This Mini would be even better than that netbook! And besides, I look so good in red….
Bambi M says
I’d love this little laptop for my mom, she really needs one to stay in touch with all the baby pics and news!
Frank S. says
My wife needs this computer to become more computer literate. She is a great companion and friend and the BEST mother my kids could ever have! Good luck to me for her to win.
Ken says
My daughter could use a new computer. She is in college and her computer just broke.
Christopher Chambers says
My mom could really use this computer because she is is relentless; she won the battle against ovarian cancer. While managing a small snack store with her husband, every morning, my mom prepares her two girls for school. Every Monday morning she volunteers at MADCAAP (Madison Countians Allied Against Poverty), distributing food and clothing and every Tuesday evening she attends classes that educate people on how to escape poverty. Please help my mom continue to help the community she loves by giving her this PC.
Shannon says
I would love this but have to admit I am not a Mom who is in great need of this. I have a laptop but have had it for several years. Whoever wins this will enjoy it I am sure. I love that it says it comes with the webcam & skype!
Geoff K says
I’d love to win this for my mom, who’s my personal hero and is about to embark on an exciting endeavor for which the HP Mini would be a huge help: she’s retiring from nursing, a field in which she’s worked for over 30 years, and initiating a grass roots organization to bring together community and charity groups to plan trips to countries that need medical assistance and clinics, like Haiti and India. Thanks for the chance to put in an entry for her!
Lauren Hale says
Owning a mini would make it immensely easier for me to give presentations about Postpartum Mood Disorders. Somehow my 18 in laptop isn’t as easy to travel with (I don’t even have a bag for the thing!). But a mini would fit neatly in my purse and allow me to educate moms and professionals alike. Not to mention I could Skype with moms in need of peer support! Oh, the possibilities!
Douglas says
I would love to win this for my mother… she needs to become a little more modern… she only got rid of her rotary phone in the bedroom last year lol

Ann Bucy says
I would love to win this for my mother because my father works most of the day on their computer. She rarely has a chance to get on. I think she would like the light weight of it as she is 70 and has athritis. THIS WOULD MAKE HER SO HAPPY!

I can REALLY use this for college! I am a 32 year old mom of three who just finished her first year of college but blew out my laptop in the process 🙁
Sarah B says
I am a stay at home mom to a precious little boy. Since I’ve made the choice to stay home full-time, my family has been living on one income. In February of 2010 I began a product review blog catering to moms and their children. This HP Mini would replace my dying laptop enabling me to continue posting reviews/giveaways and allowing me to promote my site. This would be a tremendous help to my budget bound family!
Angela Winesburg says
My mom needs this because she has an ancient desktop that is slow as molasses, thanks for the chance!
Bonnie Walker says
I work from home a lot, and go into the office once a week. This would be perfect for letting me have my own portable, computer to do my work from home!!
Heather Adams says
I’d love a new laptop!! This one looks fabulous!
sarah says
i would love to win this.my husband and i are both out of work and i just got a grant to go back to school in the fall.this would really help with my school work and isn’t something we could afford to get right now.this would make the perfect mothers day gift for me.
Ivette Muller says
I would LOVE this for my SendOutCards business! I currently take my 16.0″ laptop everywhere, but some of the “coffee shops” have very small tables and there’s no room to move. This would be PERFECT!
Plus, it would actually fit in the diaper bag… 😀
Keeping my fingers crossed.
Erin Pyle ( says
This is going to be a really long entry WHY I should win the Mini. lol Just thought I should warn you guys.
My life is REALLY hectic right now and an mini would REALLY make my life easier. It all started about 2 and a half months ago when I took my husband to the ER with chest pains, turns out he was actually minutes from a heart attack. After over a month of tests they determined he has ‘leaky’ aortic and mitral heart valves, an arrhythmia, and a few other heart abnormalities, although they think there are OTHER things wrong as well, so before they do heart surgery they want to know what else is wrong. It scares me to death!
Because of that he cannot work anymore either. I run my own business, graphic design, marketing, etc but don’t make enough to support the household so I am looking for a fulltime job. We also have a 17 month old toddler! The hp mini would really make my life easier by helping me get my online work done in more places during the day. I currently only have a pc that I build from parts of like 7 other pcs I had that died. It would be SO nice to have a computer that is new and actually works. I wouldn’t know how to act if I could actually look at things that require flash or java. lol I could make so much more money for us if I had a computer that worked. The HP mini would allow me to take work with me too while waiting for hub’s medical tests. It would give my toddler games to play to keep him occupied while waiting and fussy too. It would do so much to make my life easier.
To top it all off my great aunt died a few days ago. If nothing else, winning the HP would help boost my morale for mother’s day!
Thanks for the chance!

Heather Cahill says
My mom always looks at these in every store we go to. She has always wanted a laptop, but still never has gotten one. She loves how small and portable these are, and that she could just put it in her purse and go!
Cara says
I’d love to win this! My husband is going back to school, and I run a little Ebay business- for now we are sharing the computer which can be very tricky! It would be lovely to have this for me to work while he is studying, so we can both be getting our work done at the same time instead of trading off!
Sharon Seneker says
I am typing this entry on an old computer. I could really use this new one in silver crystal. Great giveaway! Thanks! [email protected]
Cindy aka on the go mom says
Too funny – I was just saying to a friend that I need to buy a lap top – as after 7 yrs at home (Stay @Home mom)- get to go back to work in Sept. Starting my own photo art business and I have never owned a lap top, i phone – i pod and really need to get it together… and would love a small HP Mini 210 – and red is my color!! Fate … wish me luck … lets hope going back to work is as easy as it sounds … have a great day! Thanks!
Charlene says
Just what I need and would be great to do my work on the go.

My grandma has an ancient desktop and this would help her stay connected.

RobynL says
I would love the red HP Mini 210 for my younger sister who:
taxis 2 kids to sports
taxis the dog to the Vet
works 2 days a week outside the home(has her own cleaning business)
takes the kids to visit friends in the old neighbourhood and picks them up
gets groceries
goes to daughter’s school to help out
thanks so much.
Jean D. says
My daughter is about to move several hundred miles away to go to school in Chicago. There’s no way I can do without her. At least an occasional “hello!” on instant-messenger or Facebook would do the trick. The HP Mini 210’s capacity for webcam and Skype would be a HUGE help to beat those empty-nest blues.
Thanks for another great giveaway!
Sonya says
I need this! I currently have a huge old laptop that’s on it’s last legs and thanks to my growing baby bump it doesn’t fit on my lap. This little one would be perfect for me!
Sarah Pacilio says
My mom actually asked for this for Xmas. How cool would it be to win it for her?! Thanks for the chance 🙂
Barb W says
I need one of these because I went back to school and I’m getting serious shoulder strain from carrying around heavy books, let alone a laptop! This would be a blessing. This would also give me the freedom to do more spontaneous writing, and be able to write more for our local and college papers, on the spur of the moment when ideas or events occur.
Thank for the chance to win such a great prize!
Best,
Barb

What about a mom that would like to just have her own computer that her husband and toddler aren’t always after? 🙂
Sarah says
Wow what a fantastic prize! I need to win this because I don’t have a laptop and my pc is very old.
Thanks for the chance to win this!!

My computer is on it’s last leg and this would be handy to carry around when we travel.
Jason says
My mom could really use this. She has just jumped on board with the technology age and found that she can catalog all of her recipes and baking information onto the computer in one convenient place. This could her be mobile while she does this

Alison S. says
How cool is this?! Thanks for having these contests. 🙂
Lesley says
Well, I don’t really have a reason any better than any other great mom that is entered. All I’ll say is I have a husband and daughter that are always after my computer and I’d love to have something I could runaway with for awhile. 😉
Izzie says
Pacific blue, please, for my win. Ha-Ha! Good luck to all.

Carla says
I’d love something I can just put in my purse and go.
Marc says
My mom needs this as she lives a distance away and only gets to see her granddaughters once a year. With the built in webcam she could connect with them online and have face to face conversations so to speak.
Sara says
I’m a homeschooling mom of three little girls, ages 8, 2, and 8 months. Our computer is 6 years old and I desperately need a new one that can handle the surfing and downloading I do for lesson plans! A portable one that can follow me throughout the house when I have my hands full would be perfect! I NEED this computer! Thanks for the chance to win.
John S. says
She deserves it! This would be a fantastic gift.
Molly K says
This would be a perfect gift for my sister. She just had a baby 6 wks ago and her husband works out of town several times a month. If they had a second computer they would easily be able to stay in touch and she could send him photos or use the webcam to chat.
Bobby Richards says
My moms computer just commited suicide and she would love another one!
Rebecca says
That would be a awesome mothers day gift to me!
Marisa says
Certainly would make my life easier with helping my mom with her business.
Cara Retz says
I would use this to be able to take a couple online classes to help me towards my degree I have not been able to finish because of having children. I would also use it for my business to help me keep organized and on top of everything!
Karen says
My sweet mom had never been on the internet until a couple of weeks ago! She was diagnosed with emphysema last year and has finally gotten up the courage and strength to work on breaking this 50-year long habit. She needed something to occupy her hands so she wouldn’t feel like something was missing and she picked up my father’s ipod. She has been learning how to surf the web and has even discovered Facebook! Unfortunately, my dad needs his ipod for work. I would love to be able to bless her and her efforts to get healthier with this HP. Thank you for the opportunity!
Sarah says
Okay, above all this has been on my wish list to have a laptop for over a year now! We home school and using a desktop is so limiting to our work! I long to take the kids outside to do school work together and let them do a little practice and get some sunshine at the same time!
This would be the best gift! Thanks so much for offering it!!! Happy Mother’s Day!!!
Bonnie P says
I would love to win this for my daughter and husband, he could use it for his e-bay and she could use it for her facebook friends; and it would be so easy to carry around

omg!! I could so use this with my scrapbooking!!!
mike s. says
Wifey is struggling to write her first novel. She’d almost certainly get more done if she could extricate herself from the house every once in a while and work in the park or at the library or something. This would be a great first Mother’s Day (her first as a mother!!) for her. Thanks!
Lori A. says
I would love to win this for myself. I have been studying to become a scopist. This would be a great help to study and, eventually, work on when I’m out and about.

The Gosfam says
YAY!! I need this just for me, so I don’t have to share a computer with my husband, and I can have whatever files, and pictures I need on it. My blogging computer if you will 🙂
Eileen says
I am not a mom who will be going back to school ( did that as a divorced Mom of 3 kids years ago), or start a new business (tried to do this 4 years ago from home) but am a now disabled Mom of my younger 3 (of 6) still at home who had to stop working a job I loved, due to illness. Last year was so sick I was hospitalized and then put in nursing care for a couple weeks to re-learn how to walk. (I was only 48) May is Lyme Awareness Month and just wanted others to know there are SO many moms, dads, women & men & CHILDREN who are SO sick from Lyme Disease…it is not an “easy fix” like so many think. Tens if not HUNDREDS of thousands get ill every year, and many do not recover. Many lose their jobs, cannot finish school, and even become homeless trying to pay for treatment out of pocket. The internet is a HUGE source of support for many of us…is literally a LIFELINE for me and so many others who cannot even sit easily at a PC to connect with others. Many, like me are often bedbound. THIS little computer would be so appreciated! Most promotions I always have in mind someone I would gift items too…but this one I would treasure myself.
THANKS so much for the opportunity!
Pauline M says
I just got a grant to go back and finish my degree… I will begin this summer (with all the kids half my age!) but am so excited to finally be able to do this for myself. With kids and life, it became impossible to finish until now. This HP would definately come in handy!
Kathy Scott says
I have a small bookkeeping business and this would enable me to work while waiting for my kids at their sports events.
Melissa D says
I would love to win this nifty HP Mini for my own mom, who has never owned a computer and has been talking about getting one. I can tell she feels left out from the rest of our computer-savvy family, and I’d love to help her join the “modern world.”
Thanks!
Owen's Mom says
Wow! What a great prize to be on your list. This would make my Mother’s Day for sure.
Cheryl Y. says
I’m self-employed, so this would help me keep in touch with clients and family when I’m running around.
Carol Harlow says
What an awesome giveaway! Who wouldn’t want one!
clallen says

ellen says
I am currently using a 2004 homebuilt desktop-this would be wonderful to use for tweeting and to learn how to blog- something I would love to learn to do.!
Lisa Taylor says
I could really use this because I am attending school online. My current laptop has a problem with the power jack and I have to keep it plugged in at all times because it won’t charge. It would be wonderful to have a computer I can use on the go but I can’t afford the $200 to get mine fixed.
Michele says
I would love to give this to my daughter. so that she could keep in contact with her 3 Military brothers!
Nanette O says
I would love to win this for myself. I could really use it for when I trave.
Kristen says
I am in the process of applying for a Transitions to Teaching graduate program. Now that all of my kiddos are in school, I have applied for an English teaching position. If I am hired (which I hope to find out soon) I will begin teaching as well as going back to school.
Jessica B says
My MIL would love this. She is always on the go and only uses the computer to check on her bank , email, and do a little shopping. WOuld love her to have this! PERFECT

My husband is always saying he wants to get me my own pc- he wouldn’t have to if I won!
Amy Mo says
This is my fav of the giveaways!
April M says

This would be a wonderful Mother’s Day gift! I have a netbook,but my husband keeps stealing it and I would be happy to give it to him if I had my own HP Mini. 🙂 Thanks so much for the giveaway!
Angela Nazworth says
I guess begging will not help me win, right? 🙂 We’ve had soooo many computer woes this year that this would be FABULOUS!!! Crossing my fingers. Angela
Marilyn (A Lot of Loves) says
I’ve been looking for one of these myself. I would love to have one because I’m going to a couple of blogging conferences in the next few months and I’d love not to have to cart my huge laptop with me!

Carol M says
I would love to give this to my daughter. She is always on the go and this would make her life so much easier!
Rachel M says
Working from home was a great option when my son was little. But now that he’s 4 I’d love to get a little more mobile and be able work from more places. He gets bored with mama working all the time! The HP mini would be perfect for keeping in touch with clients and working on the go.
Melanie says
Wow, 9 hour battery life! That’s awesome. I would love to be completely mobile. I am currently tied to a desktop. A mini would let me move around. I think the mini is a great alternative to a laptop, which I don’t have either, so I could put this to good use.
Angela I. says
Awesome Mother’s Day gift!, thanks for let me know about this giveaways!

Debbie Taylor says
I am a stay at home mom, enrolled in college online and working to finish my Bachelors Degree in Psychology – and have been eyeing a more portable option for keeping up with all the things in my life. After I get my degree, I anticipate starting a VA business and transitioning 1 of my 2 blogs into a full-time ministry website. If I win, I can guarantee my little Mini would be put to good use! =)
Jessica says
This is an awesome gift! I’m trying to get one of these, but really cant right now, its so much compact and small, also trying to go to school..
lisa kay says

I would love to be able to surprise my wife with this awesome gift. She really deserves it. She has kept the family/house, etc. together while nursing me through 6 surgeries. She’s a saint and really, really deserves this.
Regina D says
This would be a wonderful mothers day gift for my sister. she takes care of everyone but her self. it would be just for her.
Susan B says
This is such a great idea! something you can carry in your bag that allows you to never leave the side of your computer.
Debbie says
I would love to win this. I’ve always had to write my posts, read other people’s blogs and check my email from a back room. At times, other people are using the computer and I have to wait in line. I would like to flip open a lid and see what’s going on on the world wide web at any time from anywhere. How cool would that be? Please enter me in this give away.
Laura says
This would be a great gift for me 🙂 My mom doesn’t even use a computer…I would be great to take with me on jobs to meet clients, etc. My friend has one and I have been wanting one for a while. Great giveaway!!

I really need this to help me get some work done when i am traveling.
Donna B. says
I would love to win this! Thank you for the opportunity.
Donna B. says
*doh* I blame it on my lack of caffeine this AM! If I won this, it would allow me to keep in touch with family and friends while I’m away from home (since I’m out more than I’m in these days!).
It would also allow me to stay productive during those down times in my schedule (like waiting in the Dr.’s office). I also need to take some classes as part of my continuing education and this would be perfect for that!
den says
I would give it to my Mom for her to keep track of all her records.
Melissa Mashburn says
Oh My Goodness, Pick Me, Pick Me…I love the mini and would love the chance! Thanks so much, Mel’s World

kate usher says
…………………wOW this would be great to win, I have some traveling coming up and dread the idea of lugging a fullsize laptop when this HP Mini 210 could do the job!! Happy Mothers day to all. Thanks for the giveaway!!
Ann Marie says
I would LOVE to win this!!!! I know you said only US and Canada — If this comment is chosen could you send it to my mom in Pennsylvania? She could hand carry it to Germany! (Visiting later this month!) 🙂
I know my husband would love to have a Mini to take with him on his upcoming deployment to Afghanistan – and that built in webcam is the icing on the cake!

Kerrie Ann Frey says
I’m about to start my first real blog, not my “please go here to read my rant and babble” blog and would love to be able to do it like a big girl mom with a mobile machine. Thanks!
taylorbagels says
Ann needs this because she’s always always online and doing something. It seems shes online like 5 or more hours a day so that;s why she would need this for her endeavors.
Rebecca says
I would love to give this to my daughter-she is a single Mom trying to work and wanting to return to school to get her Masters in Elementary Education
Jennifer R says
I have a mom in mind who could really use this. She is starting a new life on her own after losing her spouse and she is traveling more due to this. She could use some consistency in her life like having her computer with her where ever she is going.
Dianne Martinez says
Thank you for the chance! This would go to a great home..
Tammie C says
Hi, I would love to win this for my mom. She worked hard her whole life and made a lot of sacrifices in order to provide for my sister and myself. I don’t know how she did it, but we always had food to eat, nice clothing, and on Fridays we would go out to eat. She is now retired and living on a very limited income. She doesn’t own a computer and she would be so grateful to receive this HP Mini. I love my mom and want her to have some luxuries in her life!
Christie says
My mom is in poor health and for the most part, cannot leave her bed or chair. She really feels cut off from the world now but has an active mind. She wants a laptop that she can use comfortably while seated in her recliner. This would be so perfect for her and I would be so thrilled to give it to her.
Lyndi says
My mom could really use this notebook as she is a foster parent and is consistently having to do paperwork and email case workers etc… and we’ve been traveling a lot lately and she could use a computer that only she uses as normally I have to tell her to hold on as I run a web design business and sometimes I can’t stop what I’m doing so she can check her email or do paperwork.
steven lewis says
My fiance is going through so changes, boys have left the nest and one moved to the other side of the country.. her aging pc is giving her lots of problems and she wants to stay in touch with the boys
heybeckyyy says
mommy’s gotta stay connected!
really though, my mom works herself half to death to help me pay for my college. this would be a sweet way to show her i truly love her and appreciate her
Balinda Stover says
This would be a great gift for a special Mom in my life
Christine Sarkauskas says
My mom needs this because she travel back and forth from my brother house helping w/ the kids. This would make life easier for her

MrsM says
I could definitely use a laptop with a 9 hour battery life!! I’ve lived on my own since I was sixteen and unfortunately had to drop out of high school to support myself. My husband and I got pregnant when I was 17, and we have had a very wonderful life so far, but now that we are done having kids (our oldest is 6, our middle baby is 2, and our youngest will be 1 this month) we’ve decided it’s time for me to go back to school. I aced my GED and I am starting college in June taking a full (and a half) load-I plan of graduating in 2013 with a Bachelors of Science in Political Science and then I’m on to law school! My plan is to be a family law attorney and, one day, a judge. I know for sure that having a laptop with super-life would help me so much in the next 6-7 years 🙂
Terri P. says
This would be fantastic to win! We have one computer and it’s really tough trying to do anything since we have to split the computer time four ways (two kids and two adults)! It’s an HP Mini, which makes it the perfect size for me to carry with me. I really think I could get some work done on one of these beauties!
Katie R. says
I’m always on the go and the small size would make it much easier for me to carry a computer with me.
Ryan Fowler says
My wife would really appreciate this gift. We have a newborn and she does not have time to do much of anything in the office on her desktop. A laptop would not only give her the ability to work from anywhere in the house but it would also allow her to search for things to buy for our baby. She is a wonderful person who just gives and gives and never asks for anything.
Riles says
This would be a wonderful mother’s day present for my wife, she is two semesters into nursing school and our 22 month old has dished out more damage to her current laptop than it can bear. A new portable (and of course stylish) netbook would be just what the doctor ordered for her.
Sarah says
If I won this, it would be for my mom. She’s a bit of a “dinosaur” when it comes to technology, but she’s turning 60 soon and I’d love for her to be able to stay in touch with her grandkids via email, get digital pictures, and so forth. She’s also taking occasional classes to better herself as a preschool teacher, and I think this would help her feel more productive and successful.
Rhonda Martin says
Oh the HP Mini would be PERFECT~! I have to hike up a mountain to get to my house and I bring my work home a lot and this would be so much easier to lug up that huge mountain everyday~! We don’t have a driveway and it’s so heavy lugging my old laptop. It weighs about 20lbs with case and all . I could fit the mini right into my purse, how cool is that. With all the files I end up lugging over 50lbs up and back down. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis which is a joint crippling disease and it is very difficult for me to lug my old laptop. Thank You soooo much for having this FANTASTIC giveaway 🙂
Michelle Small says
Well, I know that I (and my family) could benefit from this. I have been out of work for the last two years because of mult. med issues that prevent me from doing the kind of work that I was doing. I have had several opportunities to work-from-home but with 6 of us (4 kids ages 6 – 11) sharing one computer it is impossible for me to make a commitment of that kind. My DH has recently been unable to work because of a heart-condition and is under-going treatment until testing is complete. We have been wanting to pull our children out of our horrible city public school system so that we could home-school, but again, the problem is lack of computer access for everyone. Having an HP mini would help my family in so many ways right now. It would improve the “Quality” of our lives by allowing me to bring in a much-needed income, It would help to bring us closer to our goal of being able to provide for our family and give our children the wholesome education that they need.
I thank you for this wonderful opportunity 🙂 Good luck to all in this Fabulous giveaway.

This would be a wonderful present for the wife (mother of two). 🙂
Ladytink_534 says
My mom needs this because she doesn’t have a laptop!
Debra F says
This would be so awesome to win for my mom…it would be perfect for her. She has this huge honking PC from the 1990’s I think, and she needs something small and portable and easy for her to use. Thanks for the chance.
Staci A says
I would love the HP Mini. It looks amazing!
I went back to school after having my son and graduated 2 years ago. I love being a stay at home mom, but am now thinking of finally putting my degree to use. This would be a perfect way to take work with me since I always seem to be on the run. And it could help me organize our soccer team a bit more. (Since I got talked in to coaching a group of five year olds–fun but hectic!)
Thanks for the chance to enter!
alisa mockles says
My mother can no longer talk on the phone to me, and I can not go visit her all the time. this would be great for her so I could keep in touch.
Matthew says
My mom is the best. I’ve got a baby coming an she has been the person that has helped me the most. She has made sacrafices towards her other bills to give me money for the baby. Please choose her. Besides buying baby things she’s got a husband and two daughters that are in high School that she has to support.
Andrea H says
My mom needs a mini because she needs a computer she can take with her on the go. Thanks for the giveaway!
ptreskovich says
Need this as my computer is sooo old that it needs replaced and this would be perfect to use for school work
rhondastruthers says
I would love to have this as our family is always vying for the computer. This way I would have one for myself.

Louisa Gamble says
I would love this HP Mini 210, so I can keep in touch with my family back home in the uk, tell my husband how much I love him during the day, LOL with my kids via facebook, but most importantly…spy on my little mischevious Jack Russell..via webcam…to see what she is up to when I am at work. Finally evidence that she gets into trouble when I am away!
Chelsey Burke says
My mom is a hair stylist and this would be perfect for her to bring to work. She could make all her appointments on this laptop and on her down time she could use it to surf the net.
Brittany says
I love the red. Cool gift
gaurav says
My Mon would need this to connect with me while I am in USA. She is in INdia…It will connect with my family
**Nicole** says
Oh this would be such a wonderful Mother’s Day Gift for me! I run a blog, have my own scrap for hire business called Artistic Albums By Nicole, work from home as the administrative assistant for Christian Moms Business Resource, and use my computer to keep in touch with all my friends and family as I’m a military wife who’s 2,000 miles away from everyone I know and love. Needless to say I’m on the computer a TON and the HP Mini would be so perfect for me!!!!!
Christian says
A year and a half ago I lost my job. My wife had to quit going to school and put on hold her dream to be a child Psychologist so that she could get a job and bring home the bacon. I have recently found a new job and my wife plans on going back to college full time to finally reach her dream. Please help her by giving her this Mini HP so that she can have a running start on her schooling. She is an amazing wife and Mother of two boys that really deserves this. Thank you for your consideration!
Lentil says
Before I was a Mom, I was a writer. I chose to put that on hold to become a Mom and lo and behold here I am. Baby Lentil has taken it upon herself to redesign my laptop — removing keys she doesn’t find necessary. I would love a notebook small enough to bring along on our walks or park outings, if there are a few moments I can steal to get back to work on one of my projects
Nikki Matthews says
I am a mom. I need one to be able to maintain my household without fuss of using the desktop pc. I can check email, bank, kids school info and more. Make my family more productive.
susan says
My mom wants to finally give technology a try. I think it’s because we have a little one and she wants to keep in touch with him as we live a distance away. This would be a great start for her!
Shilo Beedy says
I would love this for Mother’s day so I can use it anywhere in my home and not have to be stuck in one place like my desktop. I could use it in the kitchen to look up recipes or be upstairs on my bed away from the kids for my me time. I could let me daughter use my desktop for her reports and i could use this hp mini for net surfing or typing to my dad who lives out of state.
LeesaJ says
What a great giveaway! I need this for work in a bad way. My old bulky laptop is near death.
Chantel says
This would be great to have, I could stay connected wherever I go.
Warren Meyer says
My wife, Christine, could really use the HP Mini 210 because as a mother of 7, she’s always on the go, constantly! Her schedule is so busy and hectic, she could really use soemthing to help her organize her time. I was actually planning on buying her an HP mini for Mother’s Day but our finances are really stretched thin, actually they are pretty much non-existent. She deserves the HP mini 210 because she is the best wife and mother there is, always self-sacrificing and never asking for anything in return.
shawna says
I would LOVE to win this one for myself!!! 😉 I really need one but we can’t afford one at all right now…it would help me out so much to be able to work on it while I’m waiting during my kids’ lessons and practice.
Charity S. says
I need it because my laptop is very old…and my son is tired of me borrowing his.

My daughter could use this for school. She needs to take her laptop and books all over and this would lighten her load.
Janet Carpenter says
I would love this Mini. I have a very active four year old and want to stay on the go with her. I’m a blogger and would rather sit outside with her and tweet instead of hanging around inside so I can work on the computer.
Thanks for the opportunity!
Jill Myrick says
All of our family lives out of state so we travel quite often.
This would be so great to take with me so that I don’t miss an important email or have five days worth of email upon my return home.
Thank you so much for the chance to win.

Chelsea says
It would be simply amazing if I could win this for my mom because she does so much for my family and me. Currently she works overtime as an LPN and is going back to school to become an RN all the while raising 4 sometimes troublesome children and juggling the family business on top of that. I seriously don’t know how she does it, but I do know that getting the Hp Mini 210 would lighten the load 🙂

Marlene C says
My daughter could really use this computer. While she was in the hospital giving birth to her 3rd child, someone broke into her home and stole her laptop and my grandsons’ Wii. Although it did not diminish their joy, being at home with a new baby and not being able to get on the internet is a real bummer.
erinxduh says
My mom needs one to store all her digital photos! She used to be a photographer and now it’s just a fun hobbie.
kristi edwards says
I am a a mom who is attending to school to become an R.N. I worked in corporate America until last year. I was diagnosed with cancer. I fought and won the battle. The experience made me realize that I wanted to be able to help people, and make a difference. I worked hard, took my ACT — at 33 years old that was scary. I made a 24, and am now pursuing my Nursing degree. This computer would help me be mobile, as I currently have a 5 year old desktop. My daughter is 15 and she tells me I need to get a laptop, yet she understands that with me going to school full time, now is not a time I can afford one. I just keep figuring I will be happy with having a computer.
Bing says
I need this so that it would be easier for me to work on the go. Thanks for such a wonderful giveaway!
Kat says
As a mom, I am always the last person to have anything new, my kids always want want want.. and if you are a mom….well you know how that goes! My current laptop is old, slow and the arrow and scroll buttons only work when they want to….very frustrating! I rely on my computer for all of my banking and other needs and really could use netbook!
Greg Ough says
The mother of my two children could really use this netbook to manage her personal training clients, promote her side business, and keep in touch with her sister who lives on the other side of the country.
christina.dempsey says
I hope this is what I am giving my mom for Mother’s Day! She would love it!
Shawna OBrien says
This HP mini 210 would be so helpful to me because I have such a busy life that having a computer that travels with me and I can use wherever & whenever would help me to be more efficient with all of the things I’m balancing. I currently am working full-time as an administrator over two care homes and in the process of opening my own care home. I also go to college part time pursuing my MSW and am a mom to 2 boys ages 7 and 3. My youngest child is special needs and has a lot of medical and therapy appointments. Having this HP mini 210 would help me to get my work done on the computer even when I’m not at home or at the office and this would be very helpful. Thanks for this awesome opportunity!
donm703 says
Looks like a great prize, I would love to win it for my wife.
Huguette E. says
This would be perfect for my mom. She uses an old computer that is SO slow!! She’d rather spend on others than herself so this would make a great gift.

This HP can travel with me when meeting with companies which would be terrific!

Kathy Stevenson says
This would be a great prize to win!
Jeff says
I need one to be able to use the internet outside the home.
nickie burke says
I just lost my job of 11 years and I’ve decided to go back to college. I could really use a laptop most classes require it and right now we can’t affored it. This would be a god sent
* first one in my family to go to college. I’m SO excited!*
Jenn S. says
The family is always fighting over who gets computer time next. There would be no more fighting. 🙂
Tarah says
Our spare room/computer room is being turned into a nursery – this would be great to have around instead of an actual desk top!
Darien says
Hi! I’d like to talk about my mum for a bit. Ever since she was a small girl her dream was to become a teacher. When she married my father, she started attending teacher’s college; but they fell on rough times. She then decided to get secretarial training while my father searched for a new job. Shortly after he got employed, my older brother was born. My mum was out of commission for nearly a year. She continued secretarial work. I was born 3 years later. After that she decided to get back into teaching; but with her partial training she couldn’t teach higher than 2nd grade. Years later she returned to teacher’s college and got her diploma. That was 2002. Now, wanting to become a Reading Specialist, she has started a part-time 5 year degree program. She is currently an administrative assistant, but teaching is in her blood. She works very hard, and I can know she gets frustrated at times when she has to wait on the family computer or borrow mine. I would absolutely LOVE to present her with this on (or around) Mother’s Day! She has been eyeing the HP Mini since the 1000 series iteration, but we, as a family, just do not have the funds to purchase one (we aren’t exactly affluent). This would really help her to achieve her dream of becoming a Reading Specialist for children, as she would be able to carry her work with her at all times!
Kristy says
This laptop would be so helpful for me. I am going back to school in the fall. I just had a baby girl March 18. I am studying to become an elementary school teacher. Aside from my full time job I am also a weekend photographer.
Sarah says
I am a new blogger and being able to tote the HP Mini around with me would make it so much easier!! It would be perfect for my mornings waiting for my DD at her physical therapy appointments!
Amy Fedorchak says
Oh I could just use this so much myself.It would make my life so much easier in many different ways.I am going to go back to school this fall so this could. I do have two boys and we all share but it would be nice to have one of my own Thank You so much for this chance .
Andrea Portilla says
I want an hp mini so that I can write more!
Cedric says
the mom in my life is currently juggling her PR Business, 3 kids (3yrs, 18mo, and 4 weeks) and it’s difficult toss the bulky laptop in with all of that. A HP mini was do the trick…pun intended
Kristen says
My Mom would love to have this to be able to be in contact no matter where she is…
Heather Valliere says
I could definitely use one of these! I am a newly full time student, after 15 yrs away from school to be a SAHM. Half of my classes are online, half on campus. I am a single mommy of 5 children. I am going to school to become a special education teacher with an autism endorsement. Two of my children are on the autism spectrum, and I try to learn all I can, and know I’d have a great connection teaching autistic children from having the experience with my own children. I also volunteer part time at my children’s schools between classes. I would love to have this small portable HP mini! It would be so much easier to keep in contact and keep schedules straight, since I communicate w/ all teachers and school staff via email, easier for everyone to do when they’re on breaks. I often miss out on important messages because I am back and forth so much. I don’t get my messages until I get home in the evening. Thank you for offering this great giveaway to ALL the deserving mommies!
Elana Kahn says
I would actually love to win this for my au pair. Her computer just died, so she’s been using mine. This would make my life easier because we wouldn’t have to share computers. Ugh!
Francine says
I need to check my e-mails on the go & sometimes my laptop is just too much to lug around!
Carolyn G says
I am an Avon Ind. Sales Rep, and I do all of my business online. My desktop has already junked out on me and our laptop is nearing the end of its life span. I thought about renting one but I can’t put that on our budget right now and this would really help me out.
Thanks for a great giveaway!
Matthew says
My wife volunteers at a lot of school and community programs, and is constantly taking handwritten notes and then transferring them to the computer. This could save her a lot of time and effort.
Jennifer H says
Me please (waiving hand wildly)!
Jennifer H says
I have just started my home based business. It’s an in-home daycare and since we are always on the go, this would be awesome to have!
Steph says
I need a mini in my life because I’m about to start job seeking and would love to tote it along!
Aura says
I was 20, taking 21 credits a semester in business management and psychology and working full time. I never intended to be a SAHM but ended up on 6 months of bedrest so I had to put my life on hold. One of my twins was born with a heart condition and spent 3 years in the hospital. After he passed away I started studying for the NLN to go to nursing school. Then I found out I was pregnant with twins again. My baby twins are starting school this September and I’m finally going to have the chance to go back to school and get a degree. Running back and forth and studying while raising my family is going to be pretty challenging. This laptop would be a tremendous help allowing to study and work on the go.
Annemarie says
We have our own business, a farm where we sell fruits and vegetables. We do a lot of record keeping, sales slip by hand and then transfer data to our desktop computers at home. This would make life so much easier.
Stephanie V. says
I am a self-employed consultant. Just returned home last night from a 4 day business trip (my 2 yr old has been punishing me all day) and do not have a laptop anymore. My old one is 10 years old and too slow and too heavy. Racked up crazy charges checking e-mail while away at the hotel business center. Travel every month and had a horrible year last (like many others) so not in budget to buy a new one. This would be a savior for this busy mum and working professional. Happy Mother’s Day.

Sarah L says
What a great ‘puter to tote around – 9 hours of battery life. thanks for the contest.

My mom would flip out if she won this laptop for mothers day, she recently had her laptop stolen and she just got into blogging so this would make her day, month, year.
Good luck to everybody else, someones going to win this 🙂
Jerry says
My wife needs a new computer, hers is slowly but surely dieing. it is eight years old and slow as a snail, we just cant afford a new one right now. This would be a true blessing for her to win one for Mothers Day, especially since she does not even know i am trying to win her one. Thank You!
Deborah R says
I need the HP Mini 210 so I can have a computer I don’t have to share that can go with me to the kitchen, garden or on trips. Thanks for the chance to win one!

I would love to win this for my Niece who is a new Mother to my Beautiful Great Niece and who is currently taking online classes. This would really help her.
I posted your Mother’s Day button on my blog: http://prpldy15.blogspot.com/
Thanks for the chance to win this great HP!
Raelena says
My whole life is on my computer…I pretty much cannot function without one which makes it difficult on my when I am away from home because I only have a desktop computer. I can’t check my email and that drives me insane. If I had this HP Mini I could take it with me wherever I go and stay sane.
Dena says
My friend Brenda is a SUPER – mom – co-worker – student. She juggles more in a day than I do in a month. I don’t know how she does it all, but she does it ALL. An HP mini would be a great help to this terrific lady who is juggling more roles right now than Julia Roberts!!!
Connie says
My mother deserves this because she always puts others ahead of her. She works harder than any other person I have ever known. She raised three wonderful children on her own when my father passed away. She has over come so much hardship, she deserves something good. I only wish I could have given it to her already. She deserves this!
Peggy Gorman says
It is my dream finish my degree in EE and this would be a great help! I went to school a few years back to get my associates ,writing programs and didn’t have a computer ,it was so tough! I did graduate with a 3.89 GPA.
Thanks for the chance
Stuart says
That would be a great gift!
Jana says
I recently became an independent beauty consultant for Mary Kay and having this mini laptop would help me take my business on the road easier! 🙂

Heather says
What a great prize!

Bill Schrader says
My wife could really use this computer. She is currently staying at home with our 5 year old son and has been out of work since 4 months prior to his birth. While she has tried online courses in the past, Betsy has found that they are not for her. When our son starts kindergarten this falls, she plans to enroll back in school to finish her nursing degree. She loves helping people & this computer would be a great way for her to manage her school projects.
Thank you for your consideration,
Bill
brian says
I type all my moms memos and church stuff on my computer. If I won this she’d probably have me type on this one to.
Brandy says
Wow this would make my husband happy if I could win this. Then he wouldn’t have to share his!
kevsher01 says
Does not compute???
marcia.goss says
I could really use this. I’m a teacher, and my current laptop is big and heavy, and the battery doesn’t stay charged. I’d love to have something small and portable to take with me to school.
Mark says
My wife would love this!
Sarah says
I have been trying to finish my last two years of nursing school due to our family moving so often with the military. Now that we’re settled and my husband’s no longer in the Army, I’m having to set my classes back as my husband is trying to finish his law degree. Since he’s closer to being finished than I am, it makes sense. On the other hand, it’s scary because he has a law enforcement job and if something happened to him, having a degree would be crucial to provide for my family. Having this laptop would help so much.
J. says
My 85-year-old mother would love to move (literally!) from her big and clunky laptop to something this small and portable.
Jay Ferris says
This would be amazing for my wife, Christie, who has just recently gone back to pastry school to pursue her dream of one day owning a bakery. As a mother of three, and wife to myself (which easily counts as having two more kids), I’m amazed how she always finds time for us… and does so with a smile on her face! This laptop would be a HUGE help to her, since she currently has to take school notes by hand, then type them up at home as required for her class binder. Not only that, but I know she’d love to have something to help her stay connected and entertained on the nights she has to wait in between classes. Thanks! >> Jay
becca says
this would be great for on the go!!! another great giveaway!!
wcc says
I need this to give to my Mother. I am trying desperately to win her a Netbook so we can stay in touch more and more. This would be just perfect for her!
kari n. says
I need this for my Mom!!! She would be so delighted!!!
Andrew says
My mother could really use the HP Mini 210. She currently has an old desktop that’s so slow that she prefers to use the computers at the public library, even though she has very limited time with them. The webcam for Skype would be very handy for her to see my small nephew and niece.
ellen says
I could go on and on why this would be great- lemme just say my desktop is a 2004 that sounds like a 747 taking off. It is on it’s last legs. The internet is how I stay in touch with the world. Let me keep the world at my fingertips because when this desktop goes, it will be awhile before I can afford something else. Thanks for the chance.
Kelly H says
WOW, what a wonderful giveaway. I have been researching going back to school for a long time now, and would love to be able to do it online –at least for most of the content– so I would not have to be away from my family — I have found some great Library Science programs and having a dedicated laptop to do my work on, so the kids could still have the desktop for their work would be wonderful and just the kick in the pants to get those essays written and application in:)
JazzSinger says
I will be traveling from upstate NY to Johns Hopkins soon to have a brain tumor removed. I have two bands I perform with and run; as well as being a full time teacher, drama club director, chorus director, baseball coach, and single mother of two beautiful children I could not live without. I could certainly use one of these to help keep my business going AND stay in touch with my little ones while having to be away from them for 2 weeks in Maryland. 🙂
Jess says
This would be great to win. I am going on maternity leave soon but once I return back to work I am going to start doing more work from home (to further my career) and it would be nice to have “my computer” so I can get my work stuff done.
latha says
I really really need a laptop. i wish i would win this hp.

I am working on my degree right now and could use this to carry back and forth from school!

Diane says
My mom needs this because my dad hogs the computer once they both get home from work and my mom sits at a desk all day long and really doesnt want to have to sit at another computer when she gets home. If she had a laptop she could lounge on the couch, recliner or even in bed!
Niki Ryan says
My Sister-In-Law, Tara, really deserves this!! She had a son, Corey, when she was 14-years-old, and although she finished high school, she wasn’t able to go to college until she was in her 30s. She is now 39 (I think) and trying to complete her degree in Administration of Justice. She will be transferring to a state university this fall. She has a daughter (Kylie) who is graduating high school this year, who will also be starting college. Tara is hardworking, caring, and a GREAT mother & aunt. She is an inspiration to people young and old, and has proven that you really can do anything youput your mind to. She does everything for others before herself. When she is not doing community service or fundraising for great causes, she is studying and doing homework.
Tara’s computer recently broke for the last time earlier this month, and she has been looking for a laptop or netbook that will allow her to take notes, do homework and complete school papers – but she really doesn’t have the money to get a new computer. 🙁 Tara is so deserving of this great HP computer! Please pick her!
Kitty says
My mother needs a laptop. She is ill and it is hard for her to sit at the desk. She loves to email all her children several times a day.
Janet says
This would be great for blogging on the go and staying in touch when we’re away from home.
Tara says
With a baby, a mini laptop is perfect. It’s easy to transport anywhere!!

Idaho Jill says
This would just be so fantastic – my husband has a really really old laptop, and I don’t have one at all. I use his, but I constantly have to restart my browser because it’s just so old – it can’t handle everything I want to have open! Thanks so much for the chance, this would be a dream come true!
Stimey says
It would be very cool to have a small device like this that would be easy to carry around.
Brad says
My wife could really use this. She works so hard, and her computer is on its last legs.
Laree says
If only coming up with a witty comment would get me picked easier. But I really would love this one!
Rhonda S. says
My DD has finally decided she is going back to school. She is now 29 with a 7 yr. old DD. She is a single parent. The father is in the picture as a play mate to the child but non-supporting. He doesn’t even help her buy the school clothes or medication if the baby is ill. My daughter wants a different life for herself and her child. Between grants and what help I could give her, she was able to get enrolled and get her books. Now we just have to wait until time for her to start. She does need a pc, but we could not afford to get her one with all the other expense. I also provide what the two of them need at this point, clothing and such. She works but doesn’t make enough money laugh at! At least she still tries! Even my g.daughters upcoming 2nd. grade class has asked they have access to a PC. That would be fine, but they live 100 miles from me. I can’t live without my internet!! I hope you will consider her for this contest. She has made some bad choices in life, but she was given something beautiful from that choice too. I am very proud that she has taken the step and regained enough confidence to enter back into college. I am always proud of her no matter what. I am her MOM!! Thank you
Emily E says
We need a new computer since my husband has taken over our main laptop for his new consulting work.
Patricia says
I love the Red color. I can use an HP Mini because I suffer from vertigo and a laptop can be used anywhere even from the couch.
Carrie Symes says
Oh, I would so love to win this!!
Annette W says
WOW! As our laptop is slowly dying, this would be awesome to help our family.
Marlena U. says
I am trying to get a photography business off the ground. I’ve been doing some part-time work under a local photographer and have learned a great deal. I currently use our personal laptop that is 5 years old and getting slower and slower by the day. Editting pictures is starting to take soooo long that I am losing some of the enjoyment that I find in doing this work. Plus, we have baby #2 due any day now and I’m looking for a way to make life easier and more time efficient so I can continue to work on my photography skills. Having my own computer that I can take with me would be such a blessing.
Misty Maloney says
My Dad already got my Mother one of these as a birthday present. So, I would love to have one for myself! I have a baby girl and it would be great to have a computer that I could take with me from room to room as I follow her around. (She is crawling all over the place!) I don’t really have much time to use my desktop anymore.
shelly says
I could so use this because my computer just died. 🙁

I’m so busy and on the go with my son. This would allow me to be connected wherever we go! The mini would really come in handy during our up coming summer vacations.
Diana says
My laptop just broke, how convenient would be to get this one! Thanks for the giveaway!
Cynthia C says
I have never had a laptop and would love to be able to use a computer on my deck in nice weather and be able to keep up with email on vacations. Thanks so much for the chance!
Angie says
My “current” laptop is over 10 years old. It weighs almost as much as my first born. I’d give anything to finally step into the 21st century with a laptop that I could call my own (and not need to hang my head with shame afterward).
Thanks for the great giveaway!
Vicki Andrew says
I want to start writing again now that I am retired and this would be perfect for me to take with me as I look for inspiration

Armando says
My girlfriend needs this! She used to use her phone as her internet source, but then our budget could no longer fit in an extra phone line. She let me keep my phone and discontinued her service. She’s such a great mom always sacrificing her convenience for me and our baby.

I do not have a laptop. It would great use for work.
Jenell H. says
My computer is now about 5 years old and very outdated! 🙂 Plus, compared to this computer, it is just bulky and not something easy to carrying around when I’m constantly on the go with work and the kids. This would be great to have! I want to win!! 🙂
Julie Smith (Knitting and Sundries) says
A couple of years ago, I was fortunate enough to win a Macbook from an online contest. Although I REALLY REALLY wanted to keep it for myself, my oldest bebe girl was (and still is) in college and needed it much more than I did, so I gave it to her instead. For the past two years, I’ve only been employed off and on (currently on, thank goodness!), so decided that at this point in my life (40-something), I needed to go back to school to get a real degree instead of the IT certification I currently have. I have put the process in motion – registering for the college and applying for financial aid – so I am proud to say I am on the way back in to get a degree in Accounting! BUT … I gave my laptop to my bebe girl for HER college classes; which means that I won’t be able to do any online assignments unless I’m sitting at home in front of this ancient (5 years old) desktop! So THAT’S why I would be tickled pink to have this great Mini!
Cari says
Oh how I would love this to use on my kitchen counter to access the internet for recipes!!! Plus how fab would it be that I would be able to recipe test the recipes that are emailed to me right from the computer! Bliss!
christopher h says
my mom’s computer is showing signs of age, i’d love to replace it for her
Roxanne D. says
My computer recently broke so, I am using my husband’s old laptop for now. 🙁 I really need a new computer and this would be absolutely perfect- Compact, small, and ready for an on-the-go Mama! I would love to win this since we just can’t afford to buy one right now!
ShootingStarsMag says

nancy stevens says
I need a laptop
Jennifer W. says
I would love to have the HP Mini!! We are always on the go and I could just toss this right into my bag. My husband and I are starting up a new business and i could keep all of our appointments right on my Mini!
kyle says
this would help my mom out so much so she could always have a computer near by.
Diane R. says
The portability of this comall mini is a huge plus. I am the day care person for my grandkids and of course, preschool, 1st grade, music classes, etc are at the four points of the compass. Being able to take along the computer along wold be so helpful.
Rachel P. says
This comp would be so nice! My work is all online and this would make it so much easier to travel or be at home and work at the same time.
Naomi says
I need this because I’m tired of lugging around an 8 lb. laptop.
dj says
sign me up
Jamie says
This would be great for my sister. She’s currently a SAHM of two little ones (5 and 3) and is unfortunately having to go back to work due to finances. She’s trying to find something she can do from home rather than work outside the house and have to use daycare and she’s trying to find something entreprenurial like her own direct market business. This would be a great resource for her in starting her own business venture!
Sarah - PS Mom Reviews says
I am working on getting my own Etsy shop up and running. This would be oh so handy for this.
linda lansford says
I need this so I can take it on the road
Lauren says
I work for myself doing editing… and to have this laptop would make my work so much more portable as i also raise my 5YO twins! And in red!! How sweet!
Colleen S says
This would be an approachable and affordable way to introduce grandma to the internet so she can stay in touch with the grandbabies
Angi says
A mini laptop. I’d use it to be able to multi-task while homeschooling our two boys. It would be a lot easier to grab a mini notebook then to squeeze the boys into our office to do their schooling.
Elizabeth says
this would be great to win!
John OBrien says
My wife could really use this – a regular laptop is too heavy for her, and this would be easier on her hands too.
John Stetson says
My wife could really use this to keep up with her email while we’re travelling.
Erica Mueller says
My laptop, which I use to run my home business, is huge. I need it to be to handle everything I do, but, unfortunately, it’s too heavy to be carrying around all the time! I took it to two conferences earlier this year and my back was all out of whack both times, Yeowch!
I’d love to have something small to take with me when I’m going out!
dmann says
i would give this to my mom for mother’s day–she really needs a new computer!
Sharon B says
I would SO love to be able to take my HP MIni into my bedroom, answer email, surf the web, and have some privacy away from the family and the chaos in my home. I would love to have this little gem!
Leigh Penniman says
Having been laid off last month and forced to turn in my work laptop, I’ve been commandeering my husband’s old laptop when he’s home to start my new blog and ning site. Please oh please, pick me. Plus it’s small enough that I can hold it in one hand while fending off my twin two-year olds as they climb over each other to see the Yo Gabba Gabba website.
Brittany says
I would love to win this for my mom. She is a single mom going back to school while also trying to juggle long hours of work and 4 kids. She really needs a computer for school that is her own.
Nancy Sloan says
My daughter and I live together and we could both use this since we share a home, we could share this netbook. It would be great for camping or while enjoying the outdoors.
Wolf says
This would help my mom start her business! Can’t stress over how much I would want to give my mom something like this!!!
Shandell says
It would be great to have such a little computer to tote around with me in the diaper bag. I do daycare in the mornings away from home and am always carrying multiple bags along with my 22lb 9 month old! This would lighten my load 🙂
Holly Cha says
This is such a cute little laptop. I love that you’re offering it in red. What a fun color!
passionofthemom says
Wow, this would be a godsend!! When I started back to school last semester, I had to get a used laptop from a second-rate source. It has since made life a misery, as it detests audio and video files and all types of photo-editing software. (I’m a Photography major, and have to use my computer to attempt to watch/listen to files for my online classes. I don’t get much done.) It would be really great to have a new Mini to get my work done, and would be ESPECIALLY helpful once I start freelancing my photography later this year!! I would LOVELOVELOVELOVELOVE to win, but I wish myself and all the moms entering with me the very best of luck. =)

Tomi says
I would absolutely love to have this for my mom. She’s never had a laptop and gave her computer to my nephew when he left for college. It would make a nice gift for her or any of the moms who commented. What a fabulous giveaway!!!
anderw b says
not that mom dosnt love me, this would make her love me more
Ivy says
I would love to win this for my Mom. She’s retired, but still very active within the community and does a lot of traveling. (5+ trips per year) This would help her stay in contact as she travels and also keep her organized and on track. (she currently doesn’t have a laptop or netbook for traveling, so has limited access to email when she is jetsetting)
Mommie Daze says
I would love one of these. I could take it outside with me to the back yard while the kids play this summer.

We need this! One of our computers just crashed!
Chrystal says

Thanks for the chance.

Moonstruck Mommy says
I’m going back to school this fall (nervous!) and all I have now is a desktop. It would be so great to have this adorable HP mini!
Ra'Keisha Sampson says
Hello I am writing to nominate my mother Corinthia Sampson for this great mother’s day package. My mother went through a lot of pain throughout her life and despite it all she managed to raise me and my younger brother alone successfully as well as help others raise their children. I look at my mother as a “superwoman” because many people call her “mother” she has been a counselor, mother, confidont, sister and friend for many that had nobody at some point and time. She is overall a giving person and never looks for anything in return. I just want my mom to take a break at some point and time but she always is somewhere aiding to need of others and sometimes never to herself. I love my moms spirit and I cherish her God given abilities. I thank God daily for such a peaceful and loving mother. I wouldn’t change anything about her.
dana says
I need a mini to run my MagicJack off of 🙂
Sheena says
With a new baby on the way and a toddler, my life would be so much easier with a compact, cute computer to keep track of activities, bills, etc.
I sure hope I win!
Thanks!

Melissa says
I would give this to my mom, she does not have a computer but would like one. We are currently in different states so this would be very helpful sending photos instead of via snail mail LOL 🙂

Kayla says
I would love this laptop to help me multi-task & grow my business.
Stephanie says
My husband and I CONSTANTLY fight over the computer. CONSTANTLY! We’ve been looking into getting a second one, but haven’t done it yet. If I got an HP Mini, I could keep it all to myself! 😉 No more nagging husband.
Hope says
As a mom on the go, this would be great so that I could get work done when I am waiting for kids to be done with their many activities. Having something that could get online when I am away would be WONDERFUL!!
Erika says
What a geat giveaway! My laptop goes to work/ soccer/ anywhere I may get time to multitask in between kids’ needs, and it would be so awesome to have a more portable (smaller) laptop!
Seni says
My mom would love this! She loves to play games like bejeweled and Big Fish but I use her old 18 yr old (desktop replacement) laptop since mine fizzled out. She needs something to keep her mind off things while she cares for my 100 year old great grandfather(who has recently been diagnosed with cancer) at his home.
Christine says
I really need this. My husband will be deploying again soon and it is almost impossible sometimes to connect by phone with him. Added to the time change and we sometimes lose contact for quite awhile. This would be wonderful for us as I could get a message from him anytime I’m mobile which will be quite a lot I can tell you. Thank you for the wonderful giveaway!
Nina says
I absolutely want this prize. I need a new laptop for my new business Working Moms Network and I love the mini’s.

Linda M says
This would be ideal to bring my mother into this century and give her the opportunity to keep in touch with her overseas family!
Crystal says
I could use this mini for working at home (my blog) and I’m going back to school to earn my bachelor’s. My laptop is so old it is inefficient for the type of work I do online! This could really help me save time as I wouldn’t have to wait for this old thing I’m using now! Thanks so much for the chance to win this!
Julia says
As a mom to 5 kids I am always giving my computer over to the kids to do their homework and research on. I have been trying to get my etsy business off the ground and having a computer just for me woild make it that much faster listing item and looking for suppliers. I would LOVE to own an HP mini.
Mrs. Claus says
Sah-weet!!! Would love to win this!!

Emily says
Oh boy, do I ever need a new laptop!
My husband, as gentle as he always is, somehow managed to destroy my laptop…
He was electrocuted as a youngster and has an abnormal electrical charge in his body. When he uses a piece of equipment for a long while it eventually dies in his arms.. along with all the digital photos the laptop stores.
Sad story. 🙂
If I get this one, husband will need to keep his paws off!

I need it because it is lightweight and easy to take with you on the go. It would help me stay organized and do work anywhere.
Natalie R. says
My mom is currently developing her own website and all the while using a quite outdated machine – I think she could very easily use a lovely new computer machine to work up her new career. 🙂
Denise B. says
I could sometimes use some time to hide away somewhere so I don’t hear “are you almost done on the computer” or “can I use the computer”, etc.
amber says
While I would love this Mini, I think my own mom would really benefit from the HP Mini. My mom is disabled, but she loves to use the computer to use social networking and email. The only problem is that she has trouble using her hands and getting up to sit at a desk to use the PC, so if she had her own netbook, she could use the computer from anywhere! I think the small body of the HP Mini would be great for her to use, it would be easier for her to hold, and keep on her lap. I love the sleek design of the HP Mini and I think she would love this laptop also. Thanks so much for the chance!
DeAnna says
I would love to win this b/c it would be helpful and a time saver if i could work on some projects on-the-go. Thanks for the chance to enter!

Marty says
I would love this because it would help me in so many ways: keeping my family more organized (with three kids under 3 yrs, that’s a must!), it would be wonderful for helping to work on my new blog (www.notquitetwins.blogspot.com), and of course, it would great to use for pleasure. It would be nice to have something for “me” that also helps out my whole family at the same time.
lynne G says
As a woman owning a business this would help make it easier to keep in touch when I am out of town.
Liza The Outspoken Mom says
Well, I would love to tell you why I NEED this but truly, I don’t need it at all however, it would be fun to have!
It would be really nice for me as a mother of 4 young children to be able to have something of my OWN!!! I truly cannot imagine what that is like anymore! It would be fun to receive something as a gift that I truly don’t need in life but, would still enjoy! It has been a long time since I have received a gift that truly is something fun and exciting and new instead of old, used or needed 🙂

Carla Danko says
I want to tell the world how wonderful my mother-in-law is, after her courageous battle with tonsil cancer she went over and beyond the call of mother in law duty to help take care of me while I battle breast cancer. She had us stay with her for 3 months after my bilateral mastectomy and for my first few treatments of my 6 month chemo. She bathed me, did my laundry, made me food, emptied my drains, and helped me to pay my bills, and took me to all my doctor appointments. She is there by my side through all my surgeries holding my hand telling me everything is going to be alright. I could NOT have asked for a better mother in law, cancer has brought us so close. And to top it off we share the same birthday, I really hope you pick me, she deserves the best recognition in the world
Angie says
I would be able to carry this beautiful thing more easily than my current pc – so I would be more productive!
Jen says
I would love to win this for a friend who recently went back to school. She is raising two small kids, working part-time, and trying to finish her degree to make a better life for her family. She has also recently loss her father-in-law, mother-in-law, and grandma. You know the saying…when it rains, it pours! It’s been a very tough year for her. I think she is very deserving of this. Thanks for the potential opportunity to ease her load and brighten her day!
Amber Smith says
Wow I could really use this because my current computer was purchased in 2002 and its a dinosaur! The monitor is so huge I have to weigh down the other side of my little desk so it doesn’t tip over. I love the “compact” feature of the HP Mini 210, so I would love to win it. Thanks for the chance and Happy Mother’s Day 🙂
Messy Mommy says

I just went back to work full time after a blissful period as a sahm, and am now also having to head back to school to complete another degree in my field. Having a laptop, and not being tied to a desktop computer would be so helpful. It would also get all the cords and cables from our PC out of the way of tiny hands. Thank you for this opportunity!

This would make my life so much easier and compact! Oh how awesome it would be!

It is so adorable! Red is my favorite color! I could use this a lot because I’m legally blind & this screen would be the perfect compact size for me because I only see what’s right in front of my face aka small area at a time. I run an ebay store home business and I have a food blog that I write on almost daily. I subscribe to thousands of food blogs by rss so this HP 210 mini would be the perfect companion for me. This would be exciting to an over 50 lady to win such a cutie prize that would useful everyday. I love HP products!
Shanna says
Love this! I am a full time online student, and parent, and it is so hard to make time for school, since we are always out and about, this would be so perfect!

I would love to make my blog a ‘business’ along with my sewing and photography hobbies, but I’m very limited with the amount of time I can spend doing any of that because I work full time.

I could also use it at her house to look up any information that she may be needing.
Dawn Gordon says
my husband does not let me type at night is why I need a laptop, the computer is in the living room and he does nothing but complain about the noise, this does nothing to help me with my blog since I have been hired by two companies to do reviews, I am also a published writer and feel he is crapping on my writing dream of not being able to type at night, with a laptop I can take it into the bedroom type everything out and put it on the other computer, I feel like my writing dreams are being taken away by his complaining of the noise at night

Kirsten T. says
This would definitely come in handy for my maritime consulting business. I inspect passenger vessels for safety and marine standards compliance. I have tried taking my laptop on board to input data as I do my inspection. I find my old HP clunker laptop too wieldy to carry around on the vessels, and my Iphone can’t handle the platform I need. Sounds like the HP Mini would definitely fit the bill. Right now I am back to pen and paper for later entry, with 2 kids, efficiency is needed desperately. Thanks!
Cori Westphal says
I feel like I’m killing my big laptop surfing the web for hours every night. I’d love to have my big laptop for my work project and a mini for surfing!

Aimee W. says
After being laid off from my job as a Corporate Recruiter almost a year ago, I have recently made a BIG decision. Since I have been unable to find another job, I made the decision to start my own executive recruiting business. As I expect to be doing quite a bit of traveling (especially in the beginning), I could really put this wonderful HP Mini to very good use! Thanks!
Marilyn Wons says
The HP mini 210 would be so useful for my mom. She is older, but always on the go and this would be so helpful for her.
Jaime says
One big reason I _need_ this HP Mini 210 is because my “regular computer” is a 6+ year old desktop!!! It’s fine for my daughters to play their games, but seriously lacking what I’m looking for these days.
I’m trying to quit my day job and become a freelance wordpress theme guru and really need to be able to take my job on the road!
Rachel says
Oh man, I need this soooo bad. I just started my blog a little over a month ago and my laptop is acting like a fool, I think it’s due to crash any second. It takes years to load stuff! My fingers are crossed bigtime on this one… oh please oh please!
Caity says
This would be great to have to have so I can keep up on my college classes while I’m working fulltime.
Jingle says
I would love to not be trapped to my desktop computer for my blogging and things like that! This would make it easy to take my blogging with me wherever I go!

Tracie says
I am so excited about this giveaway….winning a minilaptop would make my life so much easier….and a lot more fun too! =) This came at a perfect time because I am hoping to go back to school next semester! I would like to be able to take as many classes online as possible and this would give me portability which would really help that goal along!
Anna says
I’m a mom to 3 small girls. My husband and I are both college students. I just applied to nursing school and will find out in a few weeks if I got accepted. Being gone from home so much for class and studying makes my times exceptionally valuable. This would help me SO much by allowing me to work on homework, etc. while riding the bus to and from school. It would be awesome! Thanks for the opportunity!
Tracey says
I run 2 business on my own and 2 kids that are involved with multiple events, so it would be great to have something small enough to allow me to work while are at their sport practices or events.
Katie says
I would love to have the computer as a way to enter sales online for my lia sophia business. Plus, I could take it to my shows with me. Hostess get so much free or discounted jewelry, that it’s hard for them to figure out just how to best use it. I wrote a program to help, but need a laptop to show them when I’m away from home
g t ashmore says
I need it for my daughter. She is in a gifted students program in 4 th grade but has no computer to use at home. She truly would benefit from this laptop as we cant afford to get her one.
Carly says
My sister was instantly transformed into “Mom” when her 9 yr old step daughter came to live with her and her husband just under 1 year ago. She has changed her work schedule to ensure she is there when her step daughter comes home from school. She is Mom’s taxi, driving her step daughter to and from extracuricular activities and she is the Baseball Mom who sits in the stands and keeps score, all the while cheering so her step daughter knows her biggest fan is in the crowd! Before this change of status my sister was working towards her degree but she has put this on hold for 2 semesters to ensure her step daughter adjusted smoothly. My sister is planning on going back to her goal of obtaining her degree and this would help her out enormously!
Jes G says
I would LOVE to win this for my MOM! Her Grandson got ahold of her computer and yanked on the cords, and now it doesn’t work. She works SOOOO hard and just doesn’t have the extra funds to replace it. This would be a DREAM for her!
Thanks again 5M4M, you are all so truly wonderful (and entertaining.) Hope you have a great week!

Mckim says
I would love to win this. The laptop I have is several years old and has been through two kids. Needless to say, it’s on it’s last leg. We got them each a new one when they started college, but haven’t been able to afford to buy me a new one, so I use the old hand – me – down one.
hotpants™ says
Our desktop just died. It’d be nice if our family didn’t have to share my laptop. They’re cutting into my blogging time. 😉
Katrina Brady says
I keep track of all the family finances and budgets. I also do the income taxes for my family and extended family. Somehow, I wound up with keeping track of all my husbands business expenses, reports and various other paperwork. A mini would be an awesome tool for keeping personal and business expenses seperated. It would also be great back-up in case our main computer goes. I could take this everywhere we go, business and personal and enter things as they happen!
Amy says
My blog is becoming my business. I also do what I can to help my hubby with our design firm. Having something I can take with me would be a huge help! I could work while at my daughter’s dance class, while at my hubby’s office, or in my bed at the end of the day. Also, now that we’ve gotten my hubby through college (he walks in 2 weeks!) it’s my turn. Only one more class in order to get my AS then on to my Bachelor’s degree. What a whirlwind!
Amy says
Oh man! I need one of these. Happy Mother’s Day to me!!
Louise Gilbert says
Any mother would love this Hp Mini. Who wouldn’t? My mother deserve a new computer she would love this.
pamela ponder says
I need it so I would have my very own computor I wouldn’t have to share it and could take it with me everywhere..
Kathleen C. says
Ok….I’m the mom. Last one to get _________ (fill in the blank).
It could be clothes, tech, rest, vacation, sleep, phone, dr, you name it. Wouldn’t mind getting
something b4 anyone else once in a while…..besides the flu.

I need it because I’m ON THE GO so much . It would be nice to have a portable computer.
niurka says
My mom needs it cause she needs a computer so she learns how to use it

Angela says
My is now retired and would love to play on this computer! She like to play her little computer games to keep her busy; I’d definetly give it to her.
Gena Webb says
Because I recently started blogging, and my home computer is on it’s last leg!
susan varney says
this would be great for our son [email protected]
Sarah Morgan says
I need one because my husband always hogs the computer!!! This way I could have my own!
Erin C says
I have recently decided to go back and finish my university degree that I am 2 credits short of graduating. It’s scary, having been out of school for 8 years – but a cute little red netbook would make it less scary for sure!!
crabapple says
i just finished my degree last spring; but alas, i need more schooling so i’m looking into starting a grad program in social work fall of 2011. i sent my old laptop off to college with my oldest and with 2 more at home without a computer of any kind, our family would get a lot of good out of one.
shelley_2001 says
I could use this because my laptop is so old that it barely runs anymore. This would be such a blessing. Thanks for such a great giveaway!
Marci says
Please enter my name in this giveaway. Thanks!! I run our family store that is online and also a co-op with a store front in our home. There are many times that I have needed a computer while at a show looking at products or even when my husband is on our computer at home doing his own thing. This would be a great help to me.
Linda Stewart says
My daughter is pregnant with her second little boy. He is due in late August. She has been unemployed, due to a back injury, for almost a year now. After she delivers her son she is planning to return to school and finally learn a trade that will allow her to raise her sons and maintain a job without causing further injury to her back. The HP Mini 210 would truly help her accomplish her goals.
Halifax says
I love to take this to travel with me, small and mighty, does all the jobs I need to do with a computer
spamgirl says
I haven’t worked in 6 months and hubby just lost his job… I don’t know what I’m going to be doing, but I want to start a computer consulting business or do something with computer repair in the meantime. I need a computer that travels so I can store software on it, run diagnostics, etc. Mostly, so I can access the internet to look up virus removal info I’m thinking 🙂 If that doesn’t work out, I’m definitely going back to school, although I have no idea for what. My computer is a desktop and a P4 and I have to reboot every 5 days or it reboots itself, and it keeps freezing up… let’s just say at this point it’s more of a doorstop 🙁
Aisling says
My daughter decided to go back to school when her oldest headed off for college. She’s working hard and doing very well, but her home desktop computer isn’t really sufficient to meet her needs. She could so use a laptop to take to class and have available to work on when she’s away from the house.
Emily says
Awesome!! Thanks for the giveaway!
Jill L says
I could really use one of these. I’ve got 3 kids who are starting to need the computer and I wind up getting kicked off so one of them can work on powerpoint presentations. I would still like to be able to get on and answer messages from my friends from back home.
Mami2jcn says
My mother lives across the country from us and this would be great for her to have whenever she travels to visit her grandchildren.
Jen A. says
This would be a great gift for my mom when she travels!
Thanks!
Jen A.
Maggie M. says
This would be great for me to get all my surveys done at night!
Thanks!

Lindsay says
Ah…. my mother has recently not only realized the benefits of the internet and has slowly removed herself from the point and click method of typing, but she is now on facebook, resisting the ever present urges to join farmville. She has in the recent years become our township supervisor (In other words the ‘mayor’..but our town is so small the title had to be shrunken!) this making her need to communicate in the technological/email form a necessity.. however due to the size of our town her ability to get to a computer means going to the office (since broadband/wireless hasn’t even reached her house!), I feel this computer would aid in her abilities and mobility to access her email and information…. I mean come on, she’s not a spring chicken anymore, but she’s my withering hen, I want to make her life as easy as possible, and I think this would do that! Cheers, and either way…thanks for making this possible!
Beverly says
This would definitely make my life easier! I have two girls ages 18 months and 3 1/2. My mom and I have our own business, and I’d love the convenience this would provide. I’m always a mommy first, but I have business matters to attend to also. 🙂
addrienne mertens says
i feel my mom should be involved in the internet to broaden her horizons. get out from under the rock and live! thanx
Karen Thaeter says
My mother desperately needs to win her own computer as she is allways on mine for entering contests!

A friend of mine she has started a glove business and she would think this would be great to keep updated and customer files.
Thank you

Allison says
I’d love to give this as a gift, but all of the moms I know already have a lap top! So this would be perfect for me. I could blog on the go.
Gina P says
This is going to be a perfect gift for my mom since she don’t have a computer right now and she misses us so much esp her grandchildren. It would be nice that we can see each other thru webcam.
Diane says
My niece is finishing her second year of college in April, and is half-way to her goal of becoming a social worker. She is a single parent and decided to change her life so I am very proud of her. She uses the computer in the common room of her building so she would love the HP Mini 210.
Amanda says
First off I was able to test out an HP mini last November and loved it. Second, as of Friday I am now employed full time and ALSO registered for the CNA program at our community college. WHEW! I am one busy mom. The mini would be perfect for me during school days and at work when I don’t have anything to do. I am always on the go and dragging along my laptop that has a bad screen (yeah you should see it. it flashes at me all day long and I have to bang on the screen for it to stop), bringing the full sized laptop is heavy and tiresome!
Thanks for the giveaway.
Sheila Capell says
I’ve been starting up my own business and a lap top is a MUST. I have an oooooold ooooold Toshiba that I bought in college (2002-ish YIKES) Yeah, and when I bought it, it was already outdated and I got a deal on it. Seriously, it doesn’t even have a disk burner!! This would be AMAZING for me!!
Mary says
Would love to be able to get this!! I’m running around all the time with my 4 kids and volunteer activities. I work at my husband’s business and help out at my old high school. This would be such a useful thing to have.
Southern Fried Mama says
My mom lives 2 1/2 hours away and I would love to win this for her so that she could chat with her grandkids on skype since she doesn’t see them often.
Jessica T says
Cool! Count me in!
hippie4ever says
I was intending on returning to college before we were blessed with our son, it would be awesome to win an HP mini. Also, I’ve been thinking of delving back into writing
Bethany says
I am 40 and went back to college after being laid off from my job. A laptop sure would make my life a it easier!
Nichole Jordan says
Oh so TOTALY cool!
I would LOVE to win this! Eck! 😀
I’m a mommy to a sweet lil 9 month old boy! I love it!
Such a cute little laptop would be awesome on the go to blog all
about my little man and life as I know it!
Thanks so much you guys!
Your awesome!
Nichole
Robin Schick says
I would love to win the laptop computer because I continually am doing things on my home computer for the church , for the youth organizations that my children are involved in and it would be SO convenient to be ableto just take the computer with me to make minor changes or to just print it off right there rather than waiting to go home and print or email the document. Most of what I do on my computer is free stuff for groups and I seldom charge for the projects that come of this computer
Alisha says
I am trying to get my own homemade craft business off the ground, and having a notebook computer that I could slip in my purse and make it possible for me to work, no matter where I am…. that would be AMAZING!
Krista says
We bought a really nice desktop computer with a large monitor for my photography, but it would sometimes be really nice to have a little laptop to take out and about with me, especially when traveling!
Jennifer Fitzgibbons says
My mom, Kathy, is an amazing woman who could really use some good news and some good help during this time in her life. She is a single woman in her 50’s who was downsized in her past job and is now trying to start her own business focusing on her childhood dream of being an artist. This HP Mini 210 would be a great business tool for her to get organized and get started in her new venture!
Cora says
Oh my! What a blessing this would be. I certainly can’t afford one, but would appreciate and use it so much. I need it desperately!
Thanks!
Rose says
I’d love to have this because we are WAY overdue on a new computer. This would be super easy to use in the kitchen for following online recipes!
Melissa says
Our home computer is threatening to die anyday now and I am hoping to start my own business by the end of the year and this would be a HUGE help!
Geri says
I’m a mom of two grown boys, one that ‘s married and one that is in college. I also have three grand-daughters. I’m always cooking and looking up recipes and a mini HP in the kitchen would be AWESOME!!! then I could take it to my bedroom and email my sons and grand-daughters or keep up with them on facebook. I also have a blog about cooking and this mini HP would be WONDERFUL!!! for that part of my life.
Geri
dancealert says
I have need of a netbook, my husband is having problems with his computer and he needs to look for work.
Michelle B says
I could use one bc the plug in to my current lap top is broken. I have to position it just right so I don’t lose power. It doesn’t even charge anymore….LOL. I’m half way done with my bachelors degree and this would help tons.
Tawnda says
well… I’m a disabled mom of 3 teen daughters. While I’m not actively seeking to go back to school at this time, having this computer would help me tremendously with my sporadic memory… I’m always forgetting things until the last minute when my children say we gotta get going… It’s frustrating and humiliating.
chyk says
this would be lovely. i’ve been doing a lot of sitting at the hospiotal recently and woudl love this
Regina says
I am a mommy of 2, wife, teacher, and student. This laptop would really help me be able to do everything I need to do whenever I get a minute. I could prepare lesson plans while my waiting for my son at swimming lessons, finish an essay during my prep at work. This would be a life saver!
Some Lucky Dog says
My daughter-in-law would be blessed with this! It would be great for her to use during the day while at school, she’s working towards a degree in Communication. Thanks to HP and you for the chance!
dawn says
I would use this for myself. I am in nursing school and only have a desktop computer. A new laptop would be great to be able to take to class with me. I would love to be able to take notes from class on it.
Melissa A. says
My mom would be a perfect recipient! Last week she had just finished doing the taxes for my dad and sister when their “new” computer died!
Janny says
I would love to have a mini to use in my home based rubbers stamping business. It would be so nice to be able to take to workshops to show products and also to store business files and projects. It would allow me to access e-mail and business updates when I am away from my desktop computer.
Thanks for providing this opportunity. I am a wife, mother, and grandmother.
carma says
I could sure use a mini as my laptop is not so mini – it is a pain to haul around
Sky says
I feel selfish, but I would totally love this. I’m not only a wife, mom, part-time librarian and blogger, but I’m also a college student. My goal is to earn a Masters in Library Science. It’s certainly not easy with kids…but I know it will be worth it. It would be so nice to have a netbook to take notes on, instead of writing them on paper, then transferring to a computer. There are many nights I’m up until the wee hours typing my little heart out!
Rachel McGuire says
I could realy use this mini laptop because, i have insomnia and can’t sleep. This wasy I could sit on the couch and not bother anyone (or in bed quietly) blogging on my favorite sites like 5 min for mom until the wee hours of the morn. lol.. That would help me sleep. .I know it would. lol.
Kowanda says
I would love this for my mom. She worked really hard to put herself through college to get her BA and her Masters. After several years in a job she wasn’t happy with she got a new job that is closer to her siblings. Also, my husband is in the military (currently living in South Korea) and it would be nice for her to have a portable computer so we could skype!
Laurie Moudy says
I am about to start a new business in the vitamin and supplement industry and this would be perfect! thank you for the opportunity!
chana says
this would be great for me as I work part time but am exploring options of work/schooling i can do from home to advance myself but still have time to spend with my DD and DH!
hollowsins says
I could use this for daytime blogging. My husband works nights and sleeps days and my desktop is in the bedroom, so I only use it during the night when hes working.
Jen Young says
There is one computer in our house and with four people, it would help to have my own laptop to keep up with blogging and also to help me create notes for my students. I have been wanting a laptop for a few years now.
Emily says
I would love this hp mini because…… I am typing on nubs. Ya, that’s right! My two year old likes to race to the computer if left attended and rip off the keys. Right now I am typing withought the spacebar the “h” “j” “c” and “1” keys. I also just had a virus and had to wipe my computer clean. Ugh. I have bad luck with electronics! This would make my day/month/year.
Tianna says
My mom would be very thankful for this because shes such a great mom that works really hard and try helping thoes in need
Joy says
I’m loving the built-in webcam and Skype feature. We would give this to my mom. This economy has made visiting far-away family an impossible luxury. Our child has not seen her or other relatives in far too long. They all miss each other and he is growing so fast they won’t even recognize him! My mom would be thrilled, especially since it is so small, it won’t clutter up her tiny home.
Angel S. says
I love how compact this is. This would be really helpful to me as we try to make some changes in our life vocationally. One of us is either going to have to go back to school or we need to get another job or something. This would be great!
Maureen says
I would love to have this for my kitchen so I could access emails and recipes 🙂
Thanks so much,
Maureen (jnomaxx at hotmail dot com)
Lisa says
I would love an HP Mini! This would be a great gift for my high-schooler to help with her assignments.
Jennifer P says
I could really use this with keeping up on one sons medical problems, they can’t figure out what is making him so sick on top of him having diabetes type 1, and the other going to college, at the same time I am trying to get back in the work force and start my own business up. I need something more portable than my huge 8 lb extremely old laptop. This would be the perfect Mother’s Day gift from my sons to me! I could go on for a very long time on how much this would help out but I don’t want to make your reading this a chore. There are enough time wasters in life right now, and this would help eliminate a few of them! 😀
Thank you for the chance and a very Happy Mother’s Day to all of you at 5 Minutes for Mom!
Kristina says
I have been thinking about starting my own business for awhile now. My daughter will be starting kindergarten in the fall, and I have been looking for a job while she will be in school. No luck so far. This would be a great kick in the pants to get me going….I have to do something!!
Tatum V says
First awesome giveaway & thanks..This would simplify my life in soooo many ways. I will be going back to school to complete my degree in the next year. Plus the better half is also in his 3rd yr of Elementary Education. We desperately need a mini since I will be driving one way over an hour to school. This would enable me to get work done while I am on my breaks. Plus, while at home I wouldn’t have to wait for him to get done with his work. The best part would be I could check on my youngest while he is in preschool/daycare.
Jaimie K says
I would love to win this computer! I have my Associate’s Degree and RN license, but I will be going back to school (completely online program) to get my Bachelors so I can be a School nurse to have the same hours as my school teacher husband and my kids (when they are old enough). I have also contemplated creating a little online bow/hair clip shop because I love doing it and the extra money could help. My old computer doesn’t work well enough any more and the one I’ve been borrowing will soon be no longer available, so I need a new computer! Thanks for these giveaways!
Ellen C. says
I would like to go back to school to receive a degree in accounting and this computer could really help me out. Thanks for the chance.
diane taylor says
i would love to have this as i am getting a new job next month. it will involve travel and computers. how great this little one would be to travel with. it would also make it much easier to keep up with children and grand kids. thanks
mccunejohn says
my mom needs a laptop cause she likes to cruise gay/lesbian porn sites !
debbie lewandwoski says
My youngest is 23, my oldest, 32, I love all my children, I am truly blessd!!
I have been wanting a laptop because I;m planning on going back to school in the fall.
Daniel M says
been wanting a netbook to got off the desk and out of the house (would love to work on our screened in porch)
Susan S. says
I would want you to send this to my sister. My sister is amazing. She graduated from a top college with a degree but since then has had three children. She decided to be a stay-at-home Mom, but now things are quite tight and she needs to get a job or work from home. What she actually needs is a computer with Microsoft Office on it because most of the jobs she has been looking at, she needs to know Microsoft Word.
Beth says
We have a laptop but after being attacked by some viruses it doesn’t run right and I have to use my husband’s side of the computer because mine is all messed up. I would like my own computer to take outside and still do my onine business while watching the kids play as well as take to bed at night. Having something small and easy to travel from room to room would be great. Since my husband switched jobs I have been working online to earn money for the kids clothes and food. The design and colors are classy and I would love to know where the dress the women in the post is wearing is from 🙂 That would be a nice Mother’s Day dress 🙂
Jenn Calling Home says
Since my laptop just died, I sure could use this to continue with my blogging efforts. : )
TLR says
OH I would love to win this for me or my grams…I would give it to her so she can work on family history and stay in touch with her many grand children!
Jennifer C says
Forgot to add, I am a SAHM to nearly 3 year old boy/girl twins. I can use all the help I can get! 🙂
Jennifer C says
I am currently trying to figure out how to get back to school for my master’s so I can actually put my degrees to good use. A new laptop/net book is on the list of needs to get myself ready. The application process is a bear and if I could take a computer with me to knock off tasks on the go, it would really help.
Angela K says
Wow – hard to decide if I need this more, or if my mom does – I think she wins though! My mom just switched jobs and she is still way too averse to email for her own good. I think she’d like how light the HP Mini is and how simple it is to use.
Adrianne Rydell says
I would love to win this as I am going back to school in the fall and am looking into starting a photography business as a side job. Thanks for the opportunity.
Katrina says
I would love to win this! One of our computers just went kaput, and with me doing a lot more blogging and online stuff, we could really use a good computer!
This is my first mother’s day too! =)
Helena Cassin says
I take care for my two grandsons ages three and one and a half while their parents work during the week. The oldest likes to watch train videos on the “puter” which essentially means all of the time. With this HP mini NeNe could multitask for sure. Thanks for this opportunity to win computer time for NeNe too.
Kelly says
I am currently a full-time student working on my Master’s in Education. I will be student teaching in the fall and this would come in handy!
Linda Kish says
My computer is dying and disability doesn’t pay enough to pay the bills let alone buy a laptop.

Melissa Cook says
As a working mother of 3 who loves to blog, I would love to have the HP mini so that I could put new posts on my blog at work during my lunch breaks! I could also stay in touch with other blogs that I enjoy reading. Posting on the computer has been a great outlet for me, and I usually do all my posts for the week late at night on Sunday nights. Love the info you are putting out everyday. This is still one of my favorite mom blog sites to visit. Keep up the good work!! 🙂
Nury says
I would love to win this because my husband and i always have to share our desktop and we have to take turns! This is such a cool computer, love it!
Lisa says
This would be a fun thing to win.
Eos Mom says
I fear our computer is on its last legs, I’d love to win, thanks!
Karen Propes says
I would love to win this HP Mini 210 because it would save me from having to unplug our computer in the living room to take back to my craft room to look up information. I have a small business and almost everytime I start packing the order, I realize I forgot something and have to go back into the living room to pull it up and double check. I also have problems when I am making projects, it would be so nice to have the HP Mini 210 next to me in the craft room, to look up instructions, patterns and a lot of patterns I have stored on a disc that I have to pull up. This would save me so many steps and frustration just to have it with me where I do my work and projects. Thanks for the great giveaway!!!!!!

Marygrace says
Would love this to help keep me organized! Running around with three kids, a full time job, and trying to start a consulting business. I love to use web apps to keep track of it all!
MJ says
I need this because I don’t even have a smartphone to check my email on the go! I’m so under-gadgeted it isn’t even funny. This would really make my Mother’s Day one to remember, especially since my daughter is a bit too young to make me a card!
Annie says
I’d love one for myself, but my Mom could totally use it. She is starting a speaking ministry and is doing some traveling. Never too far, but to be able to take a computer with her to her speaking engagements would be really helpful. She’s really good at what she does, and this would just up the productivity for her. Thanks for the chance.
Linda says
My mom is changing gears in her career and lifestyle and an HP Mini could help as a very handy tool. She loves gadgets!
Chimica says
It would be super great to get a real laptop. My husband just lost his job because he got too sick to work. It’s hard for him to both search for a job and study for his upcoming skill test. With only one computer that I work on all day long a laptop would not only make our life better but give up hope that our life will get better.
MaryEllen says
I’d love to have a laptop for blogging on the go. If I’m on a trip, there is no way for me to work on my blog, and I can’t really schedule posts very well because of the time-sensitive nature of my blog. I make it work, but a laptop would be awesome! Thanks for the chance to win!
Barbara Camp says
I work full time, and my husband is retired. We have a farm and raise cattle. My mother law has Alzheimers. She lives with us also. I would use the HP to keep up with our records for farmeing, and all the communication we do back and forth with our grown children, and home information.
rick s. says
I would like to enter my wife into this contest. In August she will be the mother of twins, and is a full-time middle school teacher. She is a member of her school systems traveling “reading coach” program and promotes literacy in other teachers classrooms. She volunteers as the director for a regional literacy non-profit that brings award winning authors and illustrators to area classrooms. She is always on the go and a small form factor netbook would be a great way to stay connected while on the move.
shelly says
I would love to have an HP mini! We only have one laptop that we run our business from and it would be easier when my hubby’s using it to get my stuff done as well.
LaVonne says
I need this because we travel for my husband’s work. My old acer is a cheapie and a beast compared to this cutie. 🙂
Liz says
My husband is ALWAYS hogging the computer at night. I’d love to be able to sit with him and get caught up on my email and blogging!
Kim says
Considering my computer is in the shop and it’s not looking good as far as the repairs are concerned (May cost more than I’m willing to pay) and I’m currently using my hubbies work computer when I get the chance, this would be the perfect computer for me! I’m trying to get my sock business up and running again but it’s hard to do when you can’t get on the computer much. This sock business is a supplement to our income during these trying times and being able to get my updates on the computer would be WONDERFUL! Thank you for this opportunity!

my mom’s laptop just broke and she can’t afford another one, she is trying to take classes to further herself right now and she has been so stressed. I would love to be able to help her

There are so many deserving people for this prize. I’m certain that I’m not any more deserving than any other person; I think that this is a wonderful gift/prize and am very grateful to 5MinutesforMom for the chance….thank you.
I have been off work for the last 5yrs, battling my depression and PTSD. I left an abusive relationship and struggled at raising my only child through all this. I’m in a wonderful situation now, and in a new relationship (one that is healthy and loving). I’m still off work due to the PTSD, along with some other health issues. I honestly do not want to return to my old job, as it is in the area that brings back alot of the old feelings linked to the PTSD. I live near a College, and have considered going back to school (I’m 42) and perhaps take teaching…I’m fearful….change is always difficult. I know that facing a different future is scary; however, I’d like to be able to embrace the new opportunity for a new life. I’d be providing myself a new path going back to school: new skills, new job, new career, new life!
I’m hoping to have enough courage….please pray for me.

My mother is a pastor, she travels a lot and doesnt have a laptop, she was just telling me that she needs a mini laptop so she can travel with it. I would love to win this for her. Its the perfect present.

I recently started my own business with a partner and this has led to a lot more travel. It is getting harder and harder to lug around my huge, heavy laptop. This mini would be perfect for me and would help make my business much more portable.

my daughter is going back to school after 4 kids and a messy divoice this would really be a great gift to help keep her spirits up thanks for the chance to win this
Mia says
I would love to win this because I’m about to leave a job of 12 years to help my husband rebuild his business after we’ve had to claim bankruptcy and I am going to be homeschooling my son because he has not been doing well at his partial hospitalization school. So this laptop would allow me the freedom to be more flexible and mobile and yet still have a handle on my husband’s business and take my son’s schooling with us on field trips and such. Thank you for this opportunity!

Right now, if I want to enter my online life (my blog) during the day, I have to turn my back (literally) on my kids (our computer sits in a corner). I still have my eye(s) on them but it would just make it easier to take a computer to their rooms or the other part of the house instead of leaving them without a watchful eye at ALL times.
And the sanctuary that is my online life allows me just a few minutes to be “around” other people, see what their days are going like, update my blog. Just something that’s “me” in the midst of being “mom.”

After 3 children, my daughter is returning to school to get her degree in Speech and Hearing. She only has a year left. She desperately needs a small laptop to help her. Thank you so much.
Alicia says
My mom is returning back to school in her 40’s after 3 children and 2 divorces. I am really proud of her and would love to give this computer to her for Mother’s Day. She shares one right now 🙂

I am a busy mom of two teenage sons. I have been very fortunate to be a stay at home mom and I have tried to “give back” to our community by volunteering in my kids schools and other organizations such as Boy Scouts. I have taken on my biggest volunteer challenge yet! I am going to be the director of my son’s Project Graduation next year. It is a huge undertaking and I will have to be super organized. This HP would be perfect for keeping me on track, thanks for the chance.

Ohhh I would love to win it. I think about owning my own accounting business within a year and I’m a mommy/coupon blogger. With 2 kids its benefits me use because I can be able to see everything around me. Thanks for the wonderful giveaway
Jana says
I am a new Independent beauty consultant for Mary Kay Cosmetics and it would be so helpful to have this laptop to take with me as I travel to look up information, answer e-mails and process payments. It is my hope that I will be able to do well enough with MK that I can stay home with my daughter! 🙂
Shannon says
I would love this for so many reasons!
The main reason is I’m not able to attend college outside the home because I have a special needs child that consumes all my time, and I wouldn’t want it any other way, but perhaps if I could do some online courses, I could fnd a job working from home!

I’ve never had my own laptop. It sure would be great! I just went back to work two months ago after staying home to raise the kids. I’m a school teacher and I’m struggling to juggle both my work and home life. We are on the road at least five nights a week since all three kids have events, baseball, music, drama, etc. I use that time to grade papers, create lesson plans, etc. Back before I went on leave, everything was done in an old fashioned paper and pencil gradebook. But nowadays, it’s all done on computer. I realize it’s neater, a time saver, and better with parent communication, but it makes it tough on me since I’m rarely at home to put in grades, and it’s hard to stay late at work since I’m still a parent and I have my own kids to pick up from school. So having a laptop would be perfect for me. I could load grades, communicate with parents through email, work on my lesson plans, all from the comfort of my fenceside seat at the wifi enabled ballpark.

We don’t have a laptop of any kind, so this would be great!
Tiffany says
If I won this computer I would give to the women I work with in Uganda (East Africa) who are trying to learn job skills and start businesses so they can send their children to school. Right now, they manage a microloan program with old fashion ledgers- their jobs would be so much easier if they could manage it electronically AND they could learn skills to increase their value in the job market!
