5 Minutes for Mom

Mother’s Day Giveaway – HP Pavilion dm1

| By

Okay ladies — start crossing your fingers for this one…

We have one HP Pavilion dm1 to give away this Mother’s Day!!!

HP Pavilion dm1 — Power AND Mobility

I have a very large laptop. It is huge and heavy and its battery lasts barely an hour. Sure it is great when it stays put on my kitchen table, hooked up to a power strip. But you should see me lugging it through airports and conferences. Not fun! And, with very few airplanes having power supplies, I am hooped when it comes to working on long flights.

So, when HP emailed me about testing out their new HP Pavilion dm1 for Mom 2.0 Summit, I was thrilled.

The HP Pavilion dm 1 has the POWER of a notebook with the MOBILITY of a netbook! — JUST what I need!

I have used “minis” before and they just don’t have enough ummph to get the job done for me. I need to run Lightroom, Photoshop Elements, and more when I am working. And I need enough space to store my photos and files too!

The HP Pavilion dm1 with VISION Technology from AMD has a full processor and so, despite its sleek, small size, it has the power of a full size computer.

The dm1 features an 11” display, it weighs just over 3 lbs and is about an inch thin. It also has a built-in webcam, which is essential these days!

The battery life on the dm1 is excellent. It lasts up to 9 hours — and I found I could get about 4-5 hours of hard core usage out of one charge — running Lightroom, Firefox and other programs at the same time.

It also features CoolSense technology that knows if the notebook is on your lap or the countertop and adjusts its temperature accordingly. I love this feature! I often work in bed, next to Olivia while she sleeps. The dm1 stays cool and with its advance design, I don’t have to worry about it overheating. Brilliant!

It doesn’t have a CD/DVD drive, so that is a con if you want to use it play DVDs. I usually rent my movies online and download them anyway, so it isn’t too much of a problem for me. There is also an optional external CD/DVD drive for installing software or Blu-ray drive for watching HD movies.

In all, I am impressed with the dm1. I can easily slip it into my purse and yet still get the power I need to work.

Here are some other features included with the HP Pavillion dm1.

  • Integrated Wireless- for access within range of a hotspot (Bluetooth is optional)
  • VGA webcam for staying connected with friends and family
  • VGA port for connecting a monitor
  • Three USB ports for connecting accessories
  • A multi-format digital media card reader for Secure Digital and MultiMediaCard
  • A dual-core AMD Fusion processor E350 for fast Web surfing and smooth HD video
  • Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium
  • Dolby advanced audio and Altec Lansing speakers for premium sound
  • ENERGY STAR® qualification

 
The dm1 is available at HP Home & Home Office now at a starting price of $449.99

We have one HP Pavilion dm1 with VISION Technology from AMD to give away to one lucky mom. To enter, please leave a comment below. We would love to know how the dm1 would make your life easier. Additionally, we will give you an extra entry for following @HP_PC on Twitter.

This giveaway is open to US Residents only and closes on Saturday, May 7th. We will announce our winner, along with our other Mother’s Day Giveaway winners, on Sunday, May 8th.

This giveaway is part of our Mother’s Day 2011 Giveaway event.

While HP provided one HP Pavilion dm1 for review purposes and an additional unit to giveaway, all opinions are my own.


Comments

  2. I would be so happy to win this prize. My husband bought me a laptop, but took it over for himself. Then it got a virus and i am no longer able to compose using a word processing program on it . Writing is my hobby and a great outlet for me.

  6. I would LOVE to win this notebook!! I have wanted a laptop for sooooo long and have never been able to afford it! It would make my life easier because I am a mom of three trying to go to school myself. It would be nice to be able to have a portable computer to do my work on when at work, doctors appointments, and things like that!!

  8. I’m very much in need of a new laptop. The HP Pavilion could make my life easier with faster speed and ready access to online resources.

  9. Would make my life easier as my desktop bit the dust a little while ago. Can’t really afford a new computer for a few months, so whenever I have stuff I need to do it’s usually hoofing it to the public library. Will save me the money to buy that PC and also the gas!

  12. the dm1 would make my life easier by letting me have a good laptop away from home.

  13. The dm1 would make things easier because I could use this computer for a major charitable project I am working on…and I could limit the material needed to this computer only.

  15. my mom is currently in disability and i attend to san marin high school am a sophmore and she is a single parent. She is forced to pay the bills on her own and always struggles finiancially with paying our bills . Ive been dtrruggling a lot with school with the fact that we dont have a computer at home and it would be a lot of help to our family to recieve one. I stay home to help out with the kids everyday and i cant go to a library .She would use the computer to communicate with teachers since she cant really attend to my school meetings. I wanted to give her a mothers day gift but since i dont have a job and am only 15 i cant afford buying anything. I hope you can help me with something. thanks a lot for your time.

  19. This would make my life so much easier because I don’t have a laptop and my desk top is a very old model. This would give me so much freedom to use my computer instead of only being able to be stuck in my room to use it plus it would allow me to do more things on it then I can now with a much older one.

  20. I don’t even have a computer. I am a mother with 2 kids, and a part time student. This will help me with school work at home rather than staying late at the library at school. Kids are expensive enough.

  21. It would make my life easier because the computer I have now is pretty messed up and cannot be fixed.

  22. The dm1 would make our life easier. Our computer is a heavy old dinosaur with many problems. My husband is unemployed. The dm1 would make his job searching easier.

  23. I won’t lie my computer has been dying on me. I have an HP DV6700 series that I have had since 2007. Would like to win this laptop as I don’t have the money to buy a new one or fix my current one. Good Luck to everyone :D.

  24. It would be a luxury to have a laptop that’s all mine – one I don’t have to share with my husband and child!

  25. Im studying for school with a very old laptop so this would make my time of studying not only classy but faster

  26. This laptop would make life at my home better because our computer is quite old and the whole family uses it.

    ezmerelda at mail dot com

  28. I would love to win this for my mom, shes needed a new computer for a few years now, and a laptop would give her so much more freedom than the desktop she currently uses.

    teelugo @ gmail.com

  29. This would make my life easier by having a portable computer to take with me everywhere I go.

  31. The HP Pavillion dm1 would make my life esier because I have never owned a laptop. I am bound by my desktop . If the power goes out so does the interent! I can not take my work anywhere…I am stuck here in this chair!
    Also, I have panic attack when the weather is bad. With the power unplugged..I have no way of checking the weather radar to see when the storms will be over.
    With this laptop I could still be online in the worst of weather & have the comfort to see the radar & ease my mind of when it would be over. I coudl be at the park or anywhere & still have interent access!

  32. If I won the computer it would make my life easier because my current computer is so old that the plug is falling apart. Every time one of my kids bumps it, or me, or the computer itself I have to start everything all over again. Yeah that’s lots of fun.

    Thanks for the contest. I followed on Twitter as @femmebot33

  34. This would make my life easier, because as it stands now there are 3 other people in this house that use our one computer. One is my husband and the other 2 are my teenaged step-daugthers. I rarely get computer time, so this would be a blessing for all of us!

  36. I love HP. I have a notebook now and it is on its last end. The screen is cracked and it is falling apart.

    Thanks HP!

  37. This would help me because my desktop is breaking down and a net book would be awesome! 🙂

  38. That would be the best gift ever for me since the computer I had for the last 10 years died on me and I have to use my mothers computer so I can look for work. I would make things so much easier for me and I would finally have a place to store all of my baby girls pictures.

  39. This would be a great addition to our family! With the kids starting to do more schoolwork on the computer, it would be great to have an additional one. Not to mention being able to do some school on the go!

  40. Both my grandkids are starting middle school next year, and I’d love to have this laptop for them to use.

  44. All I have is an old desktop computer, that is forever needing repairs, so a new laptop would definitely make my life a lot easier. Thanks for having rhe contest!

  45. My husband and I are both going to online universities. We share a computer so another computer would really help us out.

  46. This computer would save me a lot of time. My computer is old, slow and alway needing to be repaired.

  48. Winning this would make my life easier because I currently share a computer with my fiance, and it would be great to have one all to myself.

  50. This year has been a hard one for our computers. My 5 year old desktop finally breathed it’s last and I replaced it with a rebuilt one. with less memory and a much smaller hard drive. My grandson’s very expensive laptop also completely quit working and the cost to repair it would have been astronomical so it got trashed. My tiny little netbook is still working but there seems to be a hardware issue there too. This would be such a blessing. To actually have a full size computer that works!! I am working on the computer every day so having one that works well is essential.

  52. HP Home & Home Office computer would be an excellent choice for my online medical classes. Thanks for the contest to win one.

  54. This would make my life easier because at the moment I have a plethora of doctor’s appts and I literally spend HOURS every week waiting. Owning this would allow me to use that time productively, as well as eliminate the huge binder of information I also lug around to all these appts – instead, I could scan the items or bookmark the websites instead of printing off information to review with my providers.

  56. We could use a new computer because our son is now starting to use the computer for school work.

  57. I would love this because I am using a desktop and would love the portability of it.

  59. Hello Susan and Janice, how are you? This contest is a great idea. Thank you for the opportunity. A laptop computer would save me a lot of time. The convenience of it’s mobility would enable me to spend more time with my family. I am following, liking, joining and subscribing. gainessimmons@aol.com

  60. This laptop would make my life easier because my current laptop is like 4 years old and seems like it gets slower and slower every day.

  62. My computer is 5 years old and it shows! A new computer would make a huge difference in my life.

  63. i have an older computer and have to share it with my DH and DS, si it would be so nice to have it for myself only,thanks

  64. I would give it to my wife to replace her laptop for grad school. The dm1 would be a little more stable

  65. My current laptop is 4 or 5 years old and is always overheating when I use it in bed. Unfortunately, the only time I have in my busy schedule to have some fun on the computer is the few minutes that I’m awake and in bed. I’d love a laptop that wouldn’t overheat so often.

  66. The HP Pavillion would make my life SO very cool because I would no longer have to share a computer with the fam. It would be MINE. All MINE. I’d love a laptop I could take along with me to a coffee shop. Yippee!

    Thanks for a generous giveaway.

  67. This would be so perfect for me, I wouldn’t have to share my old laptop anymore,lol.

  68. my mom is currently in disability and i attend to san marin high school am a sophmore and she is a single parent. She is forced to pay the bills on her own and always struggles finiancially with paying our bills . Ive been dtrruggling a lot with school with the fact that we dont have a computer at home and it would be a lot of help to our family to recieve one.

I wanted to give her a mothers day gift but since i dont have a job and am only 15 i cant afford buying anything. I hope you can help me with something. thanks a lot for your time.
    sincerely Ana Camara

  70. It would lower the volume in my house—we are always fighting ove the computer with 3 teens we are always fighting for computer time—and my laptop is very old and on its last legs it freezes constantly.
    kakihararocks@gmail.com

  71. This would make my life easier because my mother and I have been sharing a computer and I need it for school and she needs it for work.

  73. This computer would help me out because I have an older laptop that is sluggish and always crashes on me when I need it most

    ardy22 at earthlink dot net

  74. It would make my life easier if I was able to connect to the internet without the computer dropping the signal repeatedly! Thanks!

  77. I am a single mom of a wonderful amazing 2 year old boy and this HP Pavilion dm1 would make my life so much easyer for so many reasons! i am started online collage in june to get my Nursing dregree i dont have a laptop and it would help me alot so i could study and do my schoolwork on my breaks at work so i can spend more time with my son when i get home!
    Thanks so much for having this giveaway

  79. I have a blog, but use an old computer with Windows Vista. I would love the new dm1 computer. My batter doesn’t last very long so I have to keep it plugged in.

  80. After 20 years my Mom has finally stopped procrastinating and decided to go back to school to get her degree in Social Work.

    My Mom has beaten the odds and come through great challenges. She has come through cancer, chemotherapy , domestic violence, and raising my sister and me alone ,as a single parent.

    She deserves to be Happy. This would make a wonderful Mother’s Day present and inspire her to keep reaching for her dreams!

  82. I would love to win this as my old computer has missing keys and it’s time for a new once since I am hoping to write a book soon on Christianity and Yoga. Also I enter a lot of sweepstakes and this would make my life a whole lot easier since it is lighter than my current laptop and I can take it with me to log on at the cafe or church.

  83. This laptop would be so welcome in my home.
    We have 1 desktop that is shared between 3 people.
    Correction make that 4 when my daughter is home from college.

    With webcams.twitter.facebook and all the other web socializing that is going on,

    I just need something personal for myself that just for me and my needs.

    Like my desktop, I feel so outdated but this would definitely be a God-send
    Thank you for the contest.

  84. This looks like it would be so easy to use. Yes, I’m a Mom, and this would be the perfect gift for Mother’s Day.

  88. What a great Idea! Who couldn’t use a new computer?! I know my son and I would enjoy this for years if we won! Good luck to all!!!

  90. My mom recently got laid off, and she’s finding it difficult to find a job, I figure with a laptop, it’ll be easier, and I can actually help her out. Besides the fact we got into an argument on Mothers Day, and I ended up calling her a b*tch, over something stupid, and we fought, I’d like to apologize to my mother for it, and I’m in a pretty bad position as well, and I’ve love to surprise her with this, and say I’m sorry, and hopefully this and a hug will make up for it.

    I’m pretty sure you’re not even going to read this, but I figured I’d give an honest comment as to why my mother would want one.

  91. The dm1 would make our life easier because we are sharing a computer and we both need our own for school and work so it would make life alot easier to not have to share! I can’t believe the battery life is so good!

  93. AWESOME!

    THANKS FOR THE GREAT GIVEAWAY OFFERING!

    My wife and I recently started up an (in-home) import-export jewelry business and this new business endeavor requires a lot of traveling for the both of us! This great-looking HP Notebook would be ideal for both of us to share while traveling on business!

    Good Luck and Happy Mother’s Day to All!

  94. It would make my life easier because I could take it to my students homes and bring up their lessons at their homes

  95. Wow, this would make my life a lot easier. we have a computer that sometimes works sometimes doesn’t. It just doesn’t have the power or speed (it is getting on in years) and just freezes up. It would make my computer work a lot easier and I would be mobile.

  96. I have been having the exact same problem. My current laptop can do everything that I need it to do, but when it’s off the power strip it just dies so quickly, almost making the fact that it’s a laptop pointless. I would absolutely love this new laptop!

    followed @arahal88

  98. I have never owned a laptop and this would be great for me because then I wouldn’t be chained to my desk anymore. I would be able to do the things I need to do while I’m out waiting for the kids, etc..

  99. I would be able to take it out with me. My laptop is really old. The battery died so I have to plug it in. The plug in wouldn’t stay in so I have had to glue it in. I have tons of missing buttons. I could really use a new one. lol Thank you!!

  100. A new computer would be great! My kids would love to have one for their homework, that wasn’t old and slow like the one we have now.

  101. Would make the perfect gift for my finance who is going back to school and currently has her same desktop from 10 years ago. Also followed on twitter.

  103. oh I would love to win this Hp computer and have a great mothers day I hav old computer and on unemployment cant buy new one now but soon I hope.

  106. My computer has pretty much bit the dust, so this would make things a lot easier to write papers and do work from home.

  107. We have one old desktop that 3 of us use. I am doing geneology on my dads family and just about the time I finally find someone I have been looking for someone needs the computer for a class or to look up some much needed info. I would no long have to share, could work faster and store my info much quicker and it would be mine, all mine.

  108. The dm1 would make my life easier because my mom would have her own computer and stop using mine!

  109. I’ve got a rockin new mac, but this laptop would be awesome for my crafty wife. She blogs and is increasingly away from the desktop these days. This is her first Mothers Day, so this would make it extra special!

  110. Being confined to a cluttered desk in a home office is a real time-waster and frankly, anti-social! I would love to have a laptop for the modbility/protability and the make multi-tasking a viable,.. Never mind just travel and long commutes, I could work in the basement while waiting for the laundry to be done, in the kitchen while preparing a meal and above all win the family room while everyone else does their thing on my husband watches the ballgame.

    And since I really don’t like just sitting and watching TV myself (a total time waster!) I would love to be able to work and play and corresppnd opn/at my computer while watching the news r some other Must-See programs. Having a laptop computer would be a real godsend for me!

  112. I have an older computer. Sometimes i work from home and it will allow me to do my tasks much quicker

  113. Due to health problems I sometimes end up in bed and can not sit at a computer too long, this would be nice to have close to the bed and I can keep in touch with family and friends.

  114. I am following HP_PC on Twitter. Username: missreneer 🙂

    mrsjohnson1982 at yahoo dot com

  115. This would be a blessing to my life because the computer I have now is a piece of junk and I am lucky enough to be typing this right now. LOL!!!! Thanks for the great giveaway and Happy Mother’s Day 🙂

    mrsjohnson1982 at yahoo dot com

  116. I am going back to school and this would be a blessing since I don’t have a laptop to use
    carolkfoster at comcast dot net

  117. I would love to win this!! My computer is old and getting very slow! I would love a computer I can take places with me and one i would be proud to show off!

  119. My old computer is giving out. With our first baby on the way I would love to win a new HP laptop. What a good way to keep in touch with friends and family.

  121. It would ease my life because the laptop I currently have is only as good as a desktop becasue it does not stay charged so I have to sit by the plug-in. Also it would be great to have a webcam for the “closeness” factor it would give to me and my mom. She lives 2000 miles away and would love to see the kids grow up…they grow so fast! Thanks for the chance!

  122. My high school son needs a laptop, so that he doesn’t have to borrow mine.
    dgtwight at sbcglobal dot net

  123. I would love to have a laptop for my children to use for school. They are young, both in elementary school, but it amazes me how computers are such an intrical part of education now, even in Kindergarten. It would also be a great way to keep in touch with my family who is on the west coast, while my family is on the east coast.

  127. I spend a lot of time sitting in parking lots waiting for my kids. It would be SO nice to have a “portable computer” so I could do something useful while I waited

  128. This would be great as my computer has a broken power plug that sometimes does not work because where it connects to the computer is cracked with pieces missing, keys that are falling off, and it is really old. I could know it would turn on, stay on, and work well, and use it for work and to connect to my family, too.
    spencer1953 at gmail dot com.

  130. This would make my life so much easier because then I would have to fight with my kids to get my computer back. They are great kids who only use it for homework, but it becomes a battle. This would allow me to go work in the privacy of my own room!!!

  132. I don’t have any type of laptop, netbook, notebook or even a smartphone that connects to the net but I am on the go a LOT, this would make my life immensely easier because I could capture and share memories as they happen not try to remember them when I get home. With a trip to Mexico planned next month, the HP Pavillion dm1 would be perfect.

  133. It would make my life easier by allowing me to be mobile as well as keep me and my husband from fighting over the use of the desktop.

  136. i would love this for my kids for their homework and entertainment.our desktop pc died a few months back that they use and this would be awesome 🙂

    kathypease(at)gmail(dot)com

  137. Are you kidding…my laptop in 6yrs old and very, very slow…the HP Pavilion dm1 with VISION Technology from AMD would be a godsend! My geeky son says AMD is a very good thing too.

    Another great giveaway, thanks!

    Happy Spring to all!

  140. This would be so awesome to win for my daughter ,she could use it for her schoolwork and would make the coolest mom in the world

  141. following them on twitter (kylienkate)

    kylie8cake (at) gmail (dot) com

  142. I would love to win this! I am in need of a laptop with an incredible battery life. This laptop sounds awesome. It would allow me to do research and my school work while being mobile.

    kylie8cake (at) gmail (dot) com

  143. This would make my life easier because then I wouldn’t have to sit in one room while I’m on the internet. I could go places, follow my little girl & work wherever I need to. That freedom would be such a blessing!

  144. Oh my gosh, well if you can believe it I have never had anything but a desktop. lol Ive been tethered to my little corner for years. I would love to have something like this! Thanks so much!

  146. The dm1 would make life easier for me because I’m a college student and do not have a computer. I’m using my son’s laptop so sharing is not so great.

  147. I’ve never ever had one of these or anything even close so it would make my life easier just experiencing it all and using it for things I do on my desk pc which is a whole lot!

  149. It would help me keep in touch with all my friends and family who all live 5000+ miles away.

  150. Working and going to school full time isn’t easy and this would help out so much. Thanks so much for offering this giveaway!

  152. We homeschool. Everything was fine without a computer for the kids, until my daughter hit 13 this year. Holy smokes, the amount of things she needs to do online for school. Plus, the opportunities online for homeschoolers is amazing! This would make my life easier by keeping the girl from burning holes in me with her eyes, waiting for me to give up my laptop 😉

  154. It will make my life easier because I won’t be tied to my only computer – a desk top.
    Thanks for the contest.

  156. This would make our lives easier because we could give the laptop to my in-laws, who don’t have a computer. No longer would we have to print everything out and mail it to them; we could just email them.

  158. I am enjoying my return to student life, I’m learning so many new things and loving the new experiences, however, I’m finding that without of laptop, I’m woefully behind in the times. This laptop would definately make life easier in taking notes, finishing assignments, and helping me suceed in my new venture!

  159. The dm1 would make the world available to us 24/7! And that would be FANTASTIC!!

  160. The size would allow me to move it from room to room as needed. And to hide it from the baby quickly.

  161. I think it would make my fiances life much better she is a kindergarden teacher for a small school and has a large laptop that’s heavy to carry around or I’m haveing to use it for going to college it would help her alot to have a nice smaller computer for school. Specially on our small budget. Thanks.

  162. This would bless my life SO much because I do not have a computer of my own!! None of my family lives around and my main way of keeping in touch is via computer. Come to think of it..I am 29 and have NEVER owned a computer! ha! I have a 7 month old and I would love to hold oodles of pics of her precious face! Can you blame me? AWESOME giveaway!!!

  163. This would make my mother’s life easier because then she could use the computer in the comfort of her bedroom and not have to worry which of the five people in the house need the computer. Also she can use it at work ( a day care center) since the computer there is very outdated and very limited.

  164. The load speed of the pages will make it easier for me to get more work done.

  166. I am about to start the dissertation portion of my PhD, but because we’ve moved, I have to fly to another state several times to get it done (the proposal, the defense, and working with my counselor). Having the HP would make my life easier because I’d have everything right there with me instead of hoping I’d saved the right work on a flash drive.

  168. The dm1 would help us a lot because of my daughter’s schooling. We do everything online so this would be awesome to win her!

  169. This would make my life easier because it would keep me connected while I’m on the go. thanks for the chance.

  171. I’d give this neat laptop to my daughter who is currently using a 6 year old desktop that is so slow to do her school work. This computer would also be great for her to take with her when she goes to college.

  172. A DM1 would allow me to work both at home and at school on one machine! Saving me time and energy that I could spend with my family!

  173. Having this laptop would make our life easier, just because having a computer of any kind that works would be great! Our desktop died earlier this year, and our laptop has a screen that you have to hold just right with one hand while you use the keyboard with the other hand. That gets old real fast!

  174. This computer would be perfect, so I could give it to my grandson to keep in touch with his wife and family while he is deployed overseas…

  175. IT really would “untether” me from the home office and allow me to use it around the house like in the kitchen reading recipes or on the couch catching up on news and emails at the same time.

  177. This would sure make my life easier – Lifetime use of HP Support Assistant from your desktop.
    And I love it’s portability.
    Thank you.
    barbara dot montyj at gmail dot com

  179. The dm1 would make my life easier because I decided to go back to college, after many years & I need something light and portable to take back and forth to class. This laptop sounds perfect.

  181. I got this one – I’ve never had a laptop. Rescue me from desktop hell.

    ky2here at msn dot com

  183. This would make my life easier because I’m sure it would make work easier. My laptop is slowing down, need to reboot all the time, etc. I type all day–almost everyday–and fear my laptop isn’t going to last much longer!

  184. Owning a much more modern, speedy, efficient computer would allow me to spend more time completing projects so that I could have more time to spend reading your blogs! I currently work with a pavilion desktop….so I am certain you can understand unless you are too young to remember back that far!

  186. Ooooh so many reasons! I have two kids who are just coming into their computer age. They like being on it, need to learn it, but aren’t very good at it yet. And they ALWAYS screw something up when they’re on mine! I’d love a computer that’s all mine, mine, mine! And I love that it has a webcam. I don’t have one now and I miss it!

  188. My laptop is 5 years old and not fast at all. I feel like I spend so much wasted time waiting for pages to load. The dual-core AMD Fusion processor E350 for fast Web surfing would probably save me boatloads of time.

  189. The HP Pavilion dm1 Laptop would make my life so much easier. I am a baking and pastry student who is also trying to start her own business. Between college loans, gas prices, and start up costs for my bakery, funds for a laptop are low. I currently lug a huge box of recipes to and from class as well as have to dig through it to find ones I need.

    With the laptop, I’d be able to input them all on the hard drive and carry just the laptop around! Plus, it’s easier to take around the house with me as I am cleaning and looking after my 3 year old while working on recipes and such.

  191. This would make my life easier by allowing me not to be tied down to my regular computer which is in a room all to itself. I would be able to check my emails and facebook while watching tv. It would also help me at work where I am the box top coordinator.
    I hadn’t thought much about notebooks until I read this review/blog.

  193. This would make my life easier because I could be more mobile and get more done. Being VERY pregnant and running a fulltime business is hard work, and I’m constantly on the go. The HP Pavilion dm1 would ease my stress level, and it looks great too! Thank you for the lovely giveaway.

  194. The new HP would make my life easier, because then I would have a more reliable computer to post pictures and chat with my mom online, to keep her update on everything in my life, because we live states apart.

  195. The sweepstakes prizes are awesome I really would love the opportunity. I will complete my schoolwork with ease.

  196. HP is just the best! I have a desktop at home and would really love to have a laptop for my business and database. Mother’s day would be a perfect time for this gift!

  197. Wow this would be amazing to recieve! I am starting school online in a few days, and our computer is so old and lame. my 2 year old says its cute too, so there we go. i must have this cute computer!

  198. This would really help me and the family out, love the versatility of a laptop, especially a HP.

  200. It would make my life easier because I could finally afford to have my mother replace her ancient computer which I end up having to fix.
    chainmail (at) iwon(dot) com

  202. Right now we are all sharing one laptop, this would make my life life easier because we would have two computers to go around instead of the one, thanks for the chance!

  203. I HAVE ALOT OF WORK TO DO AND THE HP Pavilion dm1 with VISION Technology from AMD WILL REALLY HELP ME GET I DONE.

  205. This computer would make my life so much simpler because it would be so much faster than my old one

    kitty32504 at cox dot net

  207. The built-in webcam did it for me! It would allow me to stay in touch with my daughter and my brand new (and only) grandchild!
    kitty32504 at cox dot net

  210. It would make my life so much easier because I could work and stay connected when I’m on the go. Plus than hubby and I could each have our own computer and not have to argue over the desktop!

  211. We only have one desktop computer and my husband and my 5 year old son take up most of the time on it. The only time I get to get on the computer is when they are asleep or at work or school. I would also love to get back into my writing but I find it is too hard to do when the computer is taken for hours at a time. That is how it would help me out.

  212. This would make life easier because then I could work on my blog and my husband could browse his hunting forum and neither of us would have to twiddle our thumbs waiting for the other!

  213. I’m in sales & this little, powerful computer would sure beat lugging around my large screen laptop!

  216. I have some school work that I would like both kids to do on computer. It would be much easier if they didn’t have to take turns on my computer. This would be great for our homeschool!

  217. This would make things so much simpler for me. To use in an easy chair instead of a desk chair. To take on the go and still keep in touch with family.

  218. This would make my life easier……..because my 16 yr old autistic son loves being able to get online…..when we travel he is without internet until we get back home..which sometimes makes for a longgggggggggg day

  219. I would love to win this because my computer is older. Thank you for the chance to win!

  224. This would help me tremendously! I am disabled and need a laptop that is light and portable. The one I have now is difficult for me to carry even across the room. This one would make it possible to take to other rooms and to travel with when necessary.

    Thank You so much for the opportunity to win one of these great laptops.

  225. With a teenager and a pre-teen in the house computer time for momy is very limited, this would work for me to take off to a quiet room for some mom time. Thanks for the chance

  226. I would so love to have a computer of my own-than I don’t have to share with my daughter 🙂
    thanks

  227. This laptop would help my wife so much. She is a young grandmother trying to finish her first college degree!

  228. this would make my life easier because i don’t have a laptop.it would be nice to be able to get work done while i wait at dance or tumbling class .

  229. I have 2 family members who need new laptops–my daughter, a college student, because her son managed to break the screen on her current one and it can’t be fixed, and my grandson, who will be traveling for his job very soon. It would make life easier for either one of them.

  231. The dm1 would make my life easier because it would give me mobility – I’m still tied to a desktop. Thanks for the chance to win one.

  233. What a wonderful prize! The battery in my old laptop won’t stay charged, so I could really use a new one.

  236. What a great prize! I would love to hook my mom up with this for Mother’s Day!

  241. I’m doing this to try and WIN this for my Mom. This would benefit her a great deal seeing she has wanted a laptop or notebook for a while now. Her computer is pretty much on it’s last leg and she is retired so of course spends a lot of time online.. would be nice to surprise her with a new computer of sorts!

  242. WoW! Thanks for the chance!! Our computer recently got power surged! This HP would make my life easier because I can’t currently draw on my netbook, not enough room for programs and I can’t save drawings on DH’s laptop, not enough scratch space, lol! Would love to be able to use Adobe programs again! Plus, I bet my little guys would love to watch their favorite shows and play learning games on it! Thanks again 4 the opportunity! 😀 @VectoringMomma

  246. I would love this mini HP laptop. It would be the perfect thing to take my college studies with me on the go so I can also keep up with my kids’ busy schedules.

  247. Thanks for the offering this contest. I am the mother of three sons – 24, 14, and 5, and I love being a mom. Happy Mother’s Day to all and good luck!

  249. I am pregnant and this would allow me to sit comfortably on the couch with a computer instead of in an office chair. Thanks for the chance!

  250. The Hp would make my life easier by allowing me to do school work while spending time outside with my family this summer. I struggle trying to find a balance of finishing my degree and spending time with my family.

  253. This would make my mom’s life easier. She cannot always sit at the desktop, so a laptop would be easier for her to stay connected. I would give this to her if I won.

  254. I’m married to an apple snob who conveniently loses all my pc plugs and adapters around the time that I am studying for my exams!?!?! This would b a god send for me- though passing my tests would def b better!!!!! Well let’s hope for both! Happy mothers day all!

  256. This would make a wonderful gift for my niece. She has health problems and has had several painful surgeries. She doesn’t have a laptop, and the PC she uses is only accessible when she’s well enough to walk upstairs. I’d really love to give this gift to her, to make her recovery from surgeries, and her convelescences easier. She’s had to deal with these health problems since she was a young teenager, but she has always been very brave.

  258. this would make life easier because we wouldn’t all have to share one computer.

  260. It would be so nice to have a new HP Pavilion dm1 because my old Pavilion is getting so old, a new faster machine would make my days so much easier to bear.

  261. Have a generous give away…and HP yet, wowza!
    My current laptop is no longer able to hold a charge, so I’m plugged in all the time! ugh Would love to be mobile and with all the capibilities of the dm1 it would enhance my blogging, vlogging & presentation experience! Love the sleek design too!

  262. It would make like easier when I travel to have a way to stay connected with everyone. Not to mention being able to take it outside when I am out there with my son.

  263. MY WIFE JUST HAD SPINAL SURGERY AND A LAPTOP WOULD MAKE THE NEXT 6 TO 8 WEEKS A LOT EASIER FOR HER.

  264. Having another computer so I could leave one in my bedroom plugged in and have one to carry around would make my life easier.
    larshalm(at)yahoo.com

  266. Life would be easier if I had a computer that was fast and portable instead of the old, slow one I have now.

    rogsdock[at]gmail[dot]com

  268. Right now I only have a PC and it’s upstairs in my bedroom. I have three small kids and it’s annoying to have to run upstairs everytime I need the internet. It would be nice to have something portable.

  270. I like some of the other entries need a new computer so bad. Our desk top died, and the laptop is in the shop to try & fix some problems, and I have borrowed my MIL’s laptop till ours gets fix, if it can be repaired. Wait-Wait-Wait. Yesterday she said she need her’s back to do her work, and stuff. Not having a computer is like having withdraws from not being able to do my things. If I win this computer it would make me stand up and shout! Being on disability it seems to be my only resource to keep up with everyone and everything. Thanks for the chance at this FABULOUS GIVEAWAY!!!!!!
    ncjeepster@aol.com

  271. I would be so thankful to have a laptop for our family. We have 10 children at home and it would be a huge blessing for the kids to be able to use this for school work . It would be such a wonderful mother’s day gift to me that I could share with my children! Thank you for this opportunity!

  272. This would go to my highscool daughter and it would make my life easier as I would finally get some computer time.

  274. HP Pavillion dm1. would make my life easier because I don’t have a laptop and I am disabled. I can’t sit at a desk to work on a PC and my only option is a wireless keyboard so I can sit elsewhere

  276. I’m entering this contest so I can give the computer to my Mom. My Mom lives in Florida and I live in Bali Indonesia, on the other side of the world! I came here to follow my passion for teaching, but it breaks my heart not to be able to see my Mom’s face. It would mean the world to me if she had a laptop(she has no computer at all!!) so we could Skype, and feel much closer! My Mom is a single Mom, and has worked her butt off her whole life just to provide for me! Please help me to give back to her and to reconnect on this mother’s day!

    xox

  279. just started back to school, so a new, fast computer would be a great help.

  280. I would love to be to give this to my mom as a mothers days gift or late mothers day gift even shes never owned a laptop and it would make things alot easier for her when going to working as well as working from home, Awesome giveaway.

  281. I’d like to have a laptop to use in other rooms and not be chained to the office.

  285. Wow where do I start? The HP Pavilion would make my life so much more easy because my current laptop is like 13 years old! and so slow and its very hard to get anything done on it. I love to enter giveaways and different things on it and sometimes it can take hours, yes hours just to enter 1 contest or to do anything for that matter. It takes my son forever to do his homework on it. Thank you for this giveaway. 🙂

  288. It would certainly make doing school work easier. I decided to go back to school after I had my son. Anything that would make my life easier while ging to school and raising my toddler is greatly apperciated. Plus doing homework while he plays on the playground is a bonus.

  289. My laptop just crashed, so now I’m stuck working on my husband’s desktop. I’m glad to still have a computer to be able to work on, but I’m tied down to one room. Even though I’m stuck in the office, the kids are still running all over. My work time is suffering and so is my time with my kids. The dm1 would give me the opportunity to get my computer work done efficiently while still allowing me to be with my babies.

  292. dm1 would make your life easier for everything from school, to work, to recipes, to photos and videos, and so much more. I can’t begin to tell you what a real life saver this would be for our family.

  293. Short and sweet..this would allow me to give my daughter ahigh school graduation gift. This would be a gift to me as a mom. She is such a wonderful young lady and after suffering thru one year of chemotherapy this last year for stage 4 cancer she had to be very strong. At 17 she lived alone with a sick m and although she never communicated it to me I am sure she was afraid. Her faith is stronger than her age! I want her to have a computer to take to college like her older sister and brother, but I can’t afford to get her one! That’s what I want for mothers day, please choose me!

  295. Our desktop is old and outdated and this would make all things computer related much easier

  296. My wife is an incredible mother to our children. She’s had quite a rough year and I know having a laptop would really make her Mother’s day!

    • Also following @hp_pc on twitter for an extra entry. my twitter name is @taevans

  298. I would like to give this to my mother, if I can enter the give away for my mom. I know this would help her out alot and she will also learn more and understand about what I’m studying in college, computer engineering. This would be a great mothers day gift for her that I know she will love.

  300. Ahhhh how nice it would be to be able to blog from anywhere, rather than only when I can sit at my desk. My website might be more than just a hobby then 🙂 That’s what would happen if I won this awesome notebook! Thanks for the chance to win!!!

  301. Seeing that my current laptop is on the verge of crashing, this would be great! I could keep track of finances, do work, communicate with friends and family all faster than I am now!

  302. the dm1 would make my life easier because I could use it for doing schoolwork.

  303. Having a netbook would be great right now for my mom. It would help her be organized and I’m sure it’ll bring her joy. It would be an amazing gift too.

  304. HP Pavilion dm 1 would be perfect for my new business Advanced Mobile Healthcare that will be up and running in the next month. I will help me keep in touch with my 5 kids, while on the run.

  306. It would make it much easier for me to work on photos (i’m a photographer) while i’m not at home.
    brittneydejajason (@) gmail(dot)com

  307. I also have the LESS than an hour of power, heavy, hot, and ancient lapop. Money is funny and if I could get a new laptop it would make my freelance photography business even more efficient.

  308. I work from home, so it would be nice to be able to work wherever I want instead of being stuck at my ancient desktop PC all day!

  309. This HP dm1 would make this grandmom’s life alot easier! My daughter and grandson live with us and I need another computer so we can get everything done! Like researching homework for my grandson! The Dolby advanced audio and Altec Lansing speakers for premium sound is just what my daughter needs to listen to her music! I like the webcam so I can SEE my grown twins who live in another state. The dual-core makes it a fast processor so that and the wireless would be so great! The A multi-format digital media card reader and 3 USB ports would be great for all of us. But best of all, we would be wireless and could move from room to room and that would be the icing on the cake (or HP!). Thanks for letting me enter! Cathy

  310. Running a start-up business with my husband, caring for the kids and pets, along with my full time day job that requires travel and a full time college courseload (online), this would let me do my work just about anywhere. Thanks for the opportunity to win!

  312. Oh man this would save me, my laptop is on its final days… the screen is already being held together with electrical tape.. the battery lasts less than an hour, and just last week one of the fans stopped working so it tends to over heat when doing anything really taxing… like watching youtube videos… this computer is on its death bed, i could use a new one

  314. As a college student, the dm1 would make life much easier and simpler for me because I do not have to run to the library to use their computer as much and it will also replace old laptop.

  316. What a fantastic giveaway. The HP Pavilion would make my life easier because my current computer is on its last leg. It shuts off randomly, is missing keys, and is slooooow. I would love to be able to have a new computer to do my homework, work-work and blogging on. Thank you for the chance!

  317. Wow, what an amazing giveaway. We basically “live” in our basement, that’s where the toys are:), but the office is upstairs. This would be great to be able to get me stuff done with the kiddos right there with me!

  318. My hubby would love to have this laptop. He keeps borrowing mine because his is upstairs in the computer room (it’s not a laptop). He is driving me crazy – I want my laptop back. So I win I’m giving it to hubby so I can have my laptop back!!

  320. The HP Pavillion would make my life a little easier, since it is portable, & I can take it where ever I go!

  323. The dm1 would make my life easier in that it would remove the tether from around my ankle when I want or need to be online. I could be on the go and be connected, rather than having to be at my desk.

    Yeah 🙂

  324. My husband and I wouldn’t need to fight over who gets the computer. We would now both have one!

  326. Would be wonderful when hubby wants to “borrow” the laptop and decides to keep it forever!!!

  329. Would love this.. my computer is on it’s last leg… would be so nice to have this one so I could keep up with our family schedule better… 🙂

  331. This would make my life easier because the computer I have now is also too big to lug around or go anywhere with and it would be so nice to have a small computer to take with me when I go places.

  332. I would love to win this so I could do mobile computing all around the house.

  333. this will really help out with school, that way i can take online classes and stay home with my daughter.

  339. This would make my life so much simpler I would be able to work and travel instead of being *leashed* to my desktop lol.

  340. My dear little lappie is trying to die on me. lol I’d love to have a new one.

  341. I would love to win this so I could send it to my daughter in NJ. She had a baby in February and I would love to see pictures of my grandson. Her computer died in December and she can’t afford a new one.
    THanks,

  343. I would love to win so my life as a college student would be much easier. My mother has also been wanting a computer for work purposes but really cannot afford it. I would leave it at her home so we could all make use of it.

  345. I would love this, i would never be without it .
    it is so nice of you to do this !!

  354. For me life would be easier because I wouldn’t be tied down to this desktop all the time….thanks~

  356. My computer is old and sad and huge. Something like this would ensure I’m not the victim of a horrible computer crash & help me be a better blogger!

  358. Oh, wow! If I won this, it would enable my family to have a MUCH more updated computer. It would be a huge blessing! Life could be a tad bit easier and organized. 🙂

  362. Winning this would make staying in touch with my handsome hubby while he is in Australia and I am in the States much easier! Also, it will enable me to successfully launch my new Stella & Dot business and continue to run my blog and Etsy shop.

  364. with my 3rd born gearing up for high school graduation in less than three weeks then off to university this would help IMMENSELY. Hubs remains unemployed…over three years and counting…and finance wise we are at a point where we just can’t afford extras or even school-related necessities. for now daughter will be getting my laptop and I will do without. It is what it is.

  365. I got to school full time, I am trying to get my blog up and going strong, AND I need real help keeping my life organized. I need a new laptop and this would be Great

  366. The HP dm1 would make me and my husband’s lives a lot easier–we’re trying so hard to start our own business and his slow old dell laptop just isn’t cutting it!

  369. The dm1 would make your life easier because I would have a laptop to take with me when I travel and stay in touch with my family and friends!

  371. I lug my ten pound Dell aoround between my three jobs and the house. Finsihed raising my son and decided a new single dad beau with six kids (he started late) was the man of my dreams. I could use an assist lightening the load.

  372. Being able to take the computer while I wait in line to pick up my girls or sit at practices would be awesome!

  373. my current one has a bad battery and have to keep it plugged in but if i had the hpavilion i wouldn’t have to do tht anymore

  375. As a mom of a special needs child I use my rickety old computer constantly. Either I’m looking up information about my child’s condition or researching the latests therapies. I also use it to keep in touch with my family who live in another state. It would be awesome to win a new computer!

  377. This would be so perfect! We are planning on retiring our desktop after our new baby girl gets here.

  380. This would be perfect for my mother. Her desktop is on it’s last few keystrokes and I’d love to be able to give her this great gift. It would be perfect as she goes between work places and needs to take her info with her. she’d be able to just take her laptop.

  382. This would be a lot faster than my old computer and I wouldn’t have to share with the kiddos 🙂 Would definitely make things easier.

  384. well I’d could really use the computer 4 this old mom here, I’d can’t afford one, so I’m working on finding other ways to get one, because money is too tight in our home here, and I’d hopefully will win, can’t promise that I’m working on finding a job because money is so tight but so are jobs out there, around here our out of work force is so high, especial for people with either learning disabilities or handy capped like me is even harder to find jobs in anywhere here in my area of Florida.Thanks

  385. I have an older older older compaq – so a laptop which easily allows me to be MOBILE would be most helpful. thank you

  386. Having a laptop would help me achieve my goal of going back to school. I’ve been wanting to for a long while but there is always something that comes up that needs the money I’ve put aside. This would be a HUGE help.

  388. this would make my life easyer casue my super old desktop is super old and super slow so it would be great to have a fast laptop!!!

  393. This would definitely make my life easier….we have four kids (teens/tweens) that are always fighting for time on our one computer.

  394. By the way, I’m already following @HP_PC on Twitter, for the extra points! Count me in! 🙂

  395. Though I fervently wish to win this giveaway, I really don’t intend to use it personally, but give it to my sister who is a grade-school teacher. I have high respects to all teachers especially with their dedication to their work and to their students’ intellectual development and maturity. I myself have become a witness to that. I’m sure that this HP Pavilion dm1 will be of great help to her in her work, with the school documents she regularly works on, and to further have more interactivity in her teaching. Hoping to have enough luck come drawing and good luck to us all! 🙂

  397. I would LOVE this laptop to help with my non-profit organization Right now my husband and I are sharing a laptop and trying to get the organization off the ground. We help bereaved families who have lost their children and getting everything in place seems to take most of the day on the computer. If we had 2 we could do double the work for these families! Thank you and thank HP for being so generous!!!!

  400. Hi thank you and thanks to HP for this giveaway

    I am so excited at having a chance to win this HP Pavillion dm1 with AMD Vision. I really really really really have a need for the computer, I currently do not have one. Mine died over a year ago and there is no money in the budget for a new one.

    My husband is a disable Vet and I became disable 5 years ago. Our income was cut in half. I worked for over 25 years until my body decided it no longer wanted to function properly.

    I am currently using my phone to go online but I am limited in what i can do. The screen is very small and my eyesitr is not to good The Internet is my sanity and entertainment. I like to blog and enter giveaways and contests and sweepstakes.

    If I win I would be so very happy.
    Thank you again

  401. My whole family would love this! The closest thing we have to a laptop is my 2nd Gen iPod touch.

  402. It would allow me to multi-task more effectively as I would be able to do what I need to online while doing other activities.

  403. Our son has recently started playing games and seems to think in his 3 year old mind that the computer is his. Having an extra would be perfect and maybe I could get some work done again! Thanks! thebubbledies(at)gmail(dot)com

  404. I would love to give this to my Wife she needs a newer computer hers is slowing down and I know that it will be going out soon. I have done all that I can to keep it running but I can only take it so far. I would love to give it to her for mothers day.

  405. This computer would help me so much with my job. Having the ease of taking it from home to work would make my life a little less crazy and I’d have more time during the day because I wouldn’t have to share a computer with a coworker. Thanks for an awesome giveaway!

  406. The dm1 would make my life easier because I wouldn’t be chained to my desk (and my desktop computer) while doing my work (and internet time wasting).

  407. This would make my life easier because I need a family machine. My kids are starting to need the computer at the same time I do, and I’d like to not have to share mine. 😉

  408. My husband and I would not longer fight over the laptop. This would make my life easier! It would go to a great home, thanks for the chance!

  409. WOW!!!! I would love a computer of my very own!!! We dont have a computer and I have to walk to the library which takes 6+ hours of my day, and i cant be with my kids. so having our own computer would be lifesaving!!!! wheeling my wheelchair 2+ miles is not easy

  410. Having to walk to the library (which is 2 miles away) every day just to use the computer is a great hassle. I am missing spending time with my kids and i would love a laptop so i can stay home and be around my kids instead of taking 6+ hours just to go use the computer.

  414. Well this would be very wonderful for my daughter since she’s almost out of high school. I’m not a big fan of receiving person I’m more of a give away kind of mom.

  416. If the universe chose me, this notebook will do me well. My old laptop is dying and will likely be dead soon. Having a new notebook will mean better productivity for me. I can be on top of my deadlines and I can store more video files enough to let me edit and post them accordingly. Add to that the capability to be in touch with my daughter and hubby when I go away to conferences via Skype without the frequent interruption of a laptop that kept turning off on it’s own!

  419. This would make my life so much easier! As a mother of 3 young children, I can do my business on the go instead of being confined to my desk top.

  420. The dm1 would make my life easier, by allowing me to blog on the go. As a contractor I don’t have an office, so I could use free time at a WiFi hotspot to blog on the go.

  424. Hello…6 months pregnant with baby #2 and currently have a dinosaur desktop. Would love to have a new laptop that would make me more mobile once I have this lil guy and my princess goes to kindergarten. Thanks for the chance 🙂

  427. This would certainly give me the freedom to blog without having to worry about other family members having to use the computer. I would feel so efficient.

  428. I forgot to say that this would make my life more simple because it would allow my husband and I to stop sharing one laptop.

    I follow HP_PC on Twitter @simplyandreah

  429. I know this giveaway is for Mother’s Day but if I won this I would give it to my husband for Father’s Day. 🙂 Thank you!

  431. As a work from home, blogging, military wife I *live* on my laptop! The one I’m on now is just not cutting it anymore, this would be amazing!

  433. This would make it so much easier because I would not be tied down to the PC in the back bedroom. It’s hard to be part of the family and participate and stuff when you have to go into another room to work on the computer!

  434. I do not have a laptop so this would make my life easier because of the ability to be more mobile. I battle chronic illness and when I do not feel well I could still access the net and keep up with family and friends from the couch.

  436. The HP Pavilion dm1 would make my life easier by allowing me to have a laptop again.  I lost my laptop (which just so happens to be a HP Pavilion) to my kids in January when their netbook broke.  Since then I have used an iPad, which has its limitations.

  440. I don’t have a laptop and sometimes I get pretty uncomfortable sitting at the desktop (I know, I probably shouldn’t spend so much time online–but how else could I enter fabulous giveaways such as this one). Having a laptop would enable me to be online more often and to be more comfortable while using the computer. Thanks for the giveaway.

  441. This would make my life so much easier because my laptop broke and I can’t afford a new one now. I am corded on the desktop and I think that limits me SO much!

  442. The notebook would be such a big help to me because I don’t have an iphone. I see others being able to do so much multitasking while they are running around with their kids, and I’m the one that’s bored and feeling the stress of how much I need to do. Then when the kids are finally in bed I get to my huge pile of emails and such to deal with. I could wipe those out all day long, if I had a way to do it. Iphones are expensive and I can’t deal with the tiny keyboard.

  443. I do photography and the computer I have is on its last leg : / Having a new one would relieve a ton of stress!!

  444. I really want to win this for my mommy, she deserves a better computer for her stock businesses

  447. I currently have a desktop that is from the 90s. It is slooooooooow and doesn’t have much storage space. I have NEVER owned a laptop (or any computer) near as fancy as the HP Pavilion dm1!

    I’m hoping to start some college classes this year, and it would be a huge blessing to have a computer that I could take with me!!

  448. this would make my life easier as i have a 9 month old and am trying to work on my dissertation. with this awesome laptop, i could easily write and analyze data at home!

  450. The portability would sure make my life easier! I too have a desktop computer, but this would make me able to check email and calendars on the go!!

  452. What a generous giveaway. I have an HP Pavilion and have loved it but it is getting old and would love to hand it over to my children and get a new one!!! Exciting! Thank you so much!

  453. No profound message here. It would be nice to win a better laptop which may encourage me to spend more time when away from home on my writing…then again, it would be nice to win ANYTHING period!

    Good luck to all of us!

  455. my current computer randomly shuts down from time to time, so a laptop that doesn’t constantly require rebooting would make my life easier!

  457. We have 5 kids, the oldest 3 are frequently in need of the computer for school work and social wants. This would be a great addition to our busy household.

  458. This would make my life easier because I could take it with me to doctors appointments with my son. He goes constantly, and I find we spend more time waiting to see the doctor than anything. He always reads to calm himself down, I do too, but I would rather be working. I could be getting work done during that time.

  459. My computer is nearly five years old and it’s a desktop. It would be nice to have a laptop I could use in different places.

  461. My laptop is very old, I think it turned 6 or 7 years old this year. The mouse pad doesn’t work so I have a mouse plugged into it and some of the keys do not work, so I have a keyboard plugged into it, the battery is dead so it always has to be plugged in…it’s very sad. (not to mention very, very slow…)

  462. I already follow @hp_pc as @bigguysmama. You’ll also find your button on my blog scrolling on the right sidebar.

  463. The number of ways this would make my life easier is too long to list. I have a desktop. That means I’m stuck at my desk whenever I want to be online or using the computer in some capacity. During the summer, writing posts, connecting online, etc I’m stuck in the house getting this all done. I want to go to a blogging conference this year and would love to have a laptop to be able to take with me. This is just the tip of the iceberg off the top of my head.

  465. this would make my life easier because my desktop is slowly dying and i’d love the flexibility of a laptop!

  466. It would certainly be faster and have more memory than what I currently have.

    lkish77123 at gmail dot com

  467. This would allow me to break away from the chains of my desktop that is always doing a reboot.

  469. This HP would make my life easier because it is faster, lighter and more powerful than my current second-hand laptop. It would be mush easier to transport.

  471. My out of warranty laptop fell to the floor and the screen has slowly blacked out. Fixing this is more costly than replacing it so I’ve worked out an economical solution. It works fine when connected to a second monitor which we happened to have. So I have a deskbound laptop and I’d be thrilled to have a portable laptop again.

  474. It would make my life easier for a couple reasons, but mostly because I could keep my son off my new computer by giving him the old one. Thanks.

  475. I have a desktop but it’d be nice to have a powerful laptop so I could work more easily from a coffee shop when working from home!

  476. My computer crashes several times a day and I have to restart it. It would be wonderful to have a computer that wouldn’t crash and could travel easily with me.

  478. How a HP DM would make my life easier? Ahh It just would. It probably has a bigger screen than my laptop and anything new is fun right?
    If only I could win a BIG computer….I would definitely write more on it….(I LOVE to write!)

  480. This would make my life easier in several ways especially the webcam since we don’t have one. We could keep in touch with family all over the country.

  481. Well, LOL! I doubt if you’ll get around to reading all 767 comments, but I wanted to comment anyway and let you know I think your site is great. I didn’t enter the give aways because I’m not a mom. Never been able to be blessed with children. Anyway, your blog was above mine on the Friday blog hop from Serve One Another with Love. God Bless!

  483. i have never owned a laptop only an desktop which my current desktop computer is about 10 years old it is a Dell an actual orignal Dell when they first pop up on the market. a laptop would be so much easier for me to get what i need done without distractions of leaving my desktop computer; give an example… working on computer need to go bathroom come back to computer kids or hubby on and can’t get them off so leaves me falling behind on work, another things that happens leave computer to go out and come home to finish working to discover either where i left off was not saved or i have lost the page. with a laptop i can just pick it up and take it with me wherever i go and i mean wherever even if it is the bathroom. what? modern day bathroom reading! then mom’s work is always done on time and i will never lose a job!

  486. As a homeschooling mom, I could really use the portability of this HP! It would be nice to have something small enough to carry around to the library, while waiting at appointments, and just when we’re on the go, even around the house. My old desktop (6 years old) is definitely NOT portable. ;0)

  488. My wife is currently using an aging Gateway, with a nice 15 minute battery life. As she does consulting work she currently has to either rely on her printed materials or her phone when mobile, or find an available outlet to plug in to work for any length of time. This would greatly expand her ability to work away from home and/or Starbucks. Seriously her Starbucks work is costing us $$$!!! 🙂

  492. I have an old desktop… I’ve been dreaming about getting a netbook or notebook, but I just can’t buy one right now. It would make my life easier with it’s portability and speed! (my desktop is really slow..)

  494. This would make my life easier by letting me work on work files without that darned hourglass always getting in the way. Also, I’m having trouble with my current computer overheating and then randomly turning off, so this would be so amazing! It would save me so much time! Thanks so much for the chance! 🙂

  495. OH how this would make my life easyer… Lets see I wouldn’t have to share a computer with my Son and Hubby … and I would be able to communicate with my daughter who live 5 hours away and store all my favorite picture’s of My grand dauthers … oh and mostly help me to write that book I keep trying to finish… and much more!!! Love you for this wonderful Giveaway!

  498. I work on the computer a lot, but my desktop is so old and slow — a new laptop would be a dream come true! I’d love to be able to do my computer work from any room in the house or on the go — so I could always be wherever my kids are playing. If I win this computer, it would make life so much easier for me! Thanks for the chance!

  502. The HP Pavilion dm1 would be great to take along to all my kids’ activities. I do have a great dell laptop but it’s large and not very discreet.
    Thanks for the opportunity.

  504. I sooooo desperately need that new HP laptop! My current HP laptop is a Compaq nx9030…yes, it’s a wee bit old, but it’s all I’ve got! 😉

    I do all of my blogging, emailing, downloading, surfing & sharing on this laptop. I don’t think this poor thing can take much more abuse. It really hates when I download my Flip Videos! My 6 yr old son uses it for online games & researching wild animals so now we fight for laptop time!

    Please & Thanks!

    I’m following HP on Twitter as @southinkucanmom

  505. The dm1 would make my life easier because I’m starting to wear away the mouse on my current laptop and not sure how long it’s going to last! I need to be mobile to keep an eye on the wee ones when they’re doing homework!

  507. This HP would make my life easier by allowing me to take it to school and back without all the usual hassle of emailing myself my notes.
    smchester at gmail dot com

  509. This would definitely make my life easier/happier! My hubby lives two hours away during the week (for vet school) and my daughter and I live in Spokane. We would love to Skype, but only have one computer! Keeping my fingers crossed! I’d love to win this!!!

  513. I would love to get this for my husband for father’s day. His computer broke and he needs a new one. This would be perfect!

  514. Oh…. now wouldn’t this just be a lovely win! I have an old laptop that I am very thankful for. My father in law always hooks me up. But to have a brand new one…. now that would just rock! Thanks for including me!

  516. Oh I would so love this! Being tied to a desktop computer is a pain when I need to be somewhere else, I can’t get any work done. This would certainly ease my guilt at being away, because I could still work when I need to! How wonderful!

  517. I could SO use this! Family of four and everyone is tech-savvy and wanting to be on the computer for something or another. Our PC is old and slow and our last two laptops burned out! I would love something speedy and mobile (and MINE!) 🙂

  519. it would allow me to get away from my desk and be online in other parts of the house, or on the road. This would be liberating for me!

  520. It would be super convenient to have my own laptop/netbook, because we have no desktop and my 3 kids & I share our current laptop. One less thing to stress over would be swell!

  523. This would make my life easier because I wouldn’t have to fight with my hubby over the computer. lol We have an online business too so it would help a lot. Thanks for the chance!

  524. I would to have one these! The most attractive feature for me would be the long battery life. My computer barely lasts one hour when unplugged. The best thing about winning would be having a computer for my kids to use when I need to use mine!

  526. OH! I would LOVE this!!! My Hubby is going back to school and I have an internet job. Let’s just say this would eliminate LOTS of fights!!!

  528. OH HOW MY LIFE WOULD BE SO MUCH EASIER WITH THIS LAPTOP. I COULD TAKE IT WITH ME & CONTINUE MY BLOGGING DURING BORING DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS, ON TRIPS, RIDING IN THE CAR, ETC. I SO WANT THIS! IT WOULD BE A BLESSING! kytah00@yahoo.com

  529. This sounds like a great little “laptop” of sorts. Our very active family would definitely put this to good use! I put the Mother’s Day giveaway button on my blog and will add it to some blog posts too :).

  530. Oh let me count the ways a new laptop would be a god send… for school for home for work, for the kids, for the husband, for the grandmother and for me….

  531. I, would like to win this contest because,my mom works 2 jobs online and we only have 1 computer and i have 3 other brothers and sisters who study for school online.

    If I win this computer it would make our family life easier.

    Thanks.

  535. Why would my life be easier? Because I could use it at track events, football games, baseball games, hockey events and LARPing events. Seriously… I need extra curricular events to be on the same night… save me a ton of time :0

  537. Wow! This is an awesome giveaway.It would make my life easier just by having a laptop computer.I have a much older Desktop XP computer.I follow on twitter as @crb370981954 and i follow on GFC as Carolyn Barnett and i am a fan on FB as Carolyn Barnett.

  539. My mom’s computer is on it’s last leg so winning a laptop for her would make her mother’s day. And would surely help me because I won’t have to keep her current computer on life support anymore.

  541. I am an online book reviewer and this notebook would help me so much. I could actually take it with me when I am at the kids appointments or anywhere and still continue to read. Thanks for the opportunity to win!

  542. This would make my life easier because I could travel with it! My old laptop is…well, old…heavy, and has NO battery life. I’d love it!!

  545. The HP sounds fantastic! It would make staying connected to family from out of the country soooo much easier for mom! She currently has a netbook, its cute, and great for light usage, but she likes to watch Asian Drama’s and video chat and that really weighs down and lags the computer. THis would be more efficient and lower mom’s blood pressure plenty, she’ll love the bigger screen too. hehe.

  547. Oh this would really help out! My husband and I could both have our own laptop, and not worry about whether he needs to take it to work, or I need it when I travel each week.

  548. I would love to have a laptop – no more fingers messing up my screen or keys getting jammed or things being stuck into the slot on my drive – my present computer is in the rumpus room within reach of both kiddos! You guys know how to treat a mom right!

  550. I have a seventeen year old that would love this. It would make my life easier because I wouldn’t have to worry about what to get him for his birthday. Thanks HP!

  552. Hi, I am an orphan advocating, volunteering, homeschooling mission loving mother of 5.( hopefully soon to adopt more) It would be terrific to have one of these for homeschooling. I also love to email info about orphans that need homes and try to raise money fir families trying to adopt. It would be wonderful to be able to do this anywhere. In 2009 my little 2 year was diagnosed with Aplastic Anemia. ( a rare life threatening blood disorder) He has been hospitalized 3 times and has had quite a few of appointments, biopsies, aspirations, blood transfusions. We occasionally go back for additional testing. It would be great to have a personal laptop for when he needs his blood drawn. I’d use it to play games or movies. Not all offices have TV’s to distract him. Having movies or games would help both of us with long waits. It would help Having our own own laptop. It was hard not being able to update family, friends and church on our needs and coordinating visitors. It was hard not being able to blog what was going on for days at a time in the dark hospital.

    It can be lonely when my son slept not being able to research all the different treatments and being able to email families with the same illnesses would have been great. I told myself that should my little Josiah get hospitalized again, I hope to have a laptop or some way of blogging without having to wait until my hubby comes to the hospital so that I can run home.It would have been nice to skpe and see the my other children at home missing their mom & little brother.

    The laptop will also help me on my first volunteer trip to visit orphans in Ethiopia & Uganda with “Visiting Orphans” so that I can update our progress and also chat with family back home. Thank yo for this amazing opportunity. I hope we win. Thanks. Alida w5

  553. I’m living out in the country with my parents (my kids and I are) we don’t get high speed internet (just dial up) and as it stands, I can only get online to do my blogging if I can get a lap top to go in town and hook up to wireless hot spots. This would make my life so much easier to win this.

  555. I currently lug my work laptop back and forth so I don’t have to fight my daughter over our home computer. Having a mini like this at home (and for travel) would make my life easier by lightening my load during my commute (with an oversized purse, briefcase, gym bag and laptop bag – every little bit helps!) and would make me a hero in my daughter’s eyes to boot. That alone would make it worth its weight in gold. 🙂

  561. I’d love to be able to sit outside with my daughter this summer and work from home while watching her play. Talk about the best of both worlds!

  564. This would make my life easier so that I could be anywhere in my house on the computer, rather than just at my desktop! i would love to win this! 🙂

  565. I am an avid blogger so a new laptop would be awesome. My current one is pretty slow and frequently locks up.

  567. I would love to win to HP Pavillion Laptop! How could it not make life easier with all the features is has to offer!! Plus my laptop now has been giving me major issues… the keyboard isn’t working correctly and it doesn’t have the card readers : ( I would love, love, love to win!!

  568. The dm1 would make my life easier by using it’s VGA webcam so I could connect with all my extended family. We all ive so far apart and I long to see their smiling faces.

  570. I would love to have this! My husband is currently without a laptop…because I broke his! Unfortunately we can’t afford to replace it right now. He’d love to be able to have a laptop to bring with him to meetings and such again!

  571. This laptop would make my life easier as I could use to when I am traveling with the kids and my son could use it for his school work instead of always being on my computer.

  573. What the heck, I’ll throw my hat into the ring. I haven’t entered a 5MfM give-away in a long, long time. I’m always too behind in my reading to get around to it. But here goes. I’d love to win something newer, sleeker, and faster than my 2001 desktop Dell. Which is slower than an arthritic granny in the dead of winter. Crazy slow. Which might be why I’m so behind in all my reading and writing and other computer stuff. Just writing the bulletin for church once a week becomes an exercise in Extreme Patience and Tolerance for Frustration. I could get a gold medal for THAT if it were a sport.

    Anyway. Count me in. I hope I win!

  574. This would make my life easier because right now we only have a desktop computer (I know, we’re stuck in 1999). I would love to actually be able to do work while mobile.

  575. I’m a homeschoolin momma to 6 boys. The notebook would make things easier for me because i would have my very own computer! I would not have to share. With anyone! No more moved or misplaced files. No more being interupted so someone can work on a paper. It would be mine, all mine!

    K, so I probably would share but we most certainly could use another computer in the house.

  577. With the Integrated Wireless- for access within range of a hotspot would really make my life easier since I am always on the go.
    tamben7996(at)aol(dot)com

  579. This would make my life so much easier by breaking me away from my constantly crashing computer that no one seems to be able to fix! I will no longer be bashing my head on my desk and my stress levels from losing blog posts will decrease dramatically!

    Thanks for the chance!

  581. Like you, I need oomph and power on the go with a smaller device. This would compliment and help with my travel and marketing businesses when here, there, and everywhere but my home office. Thanks for the opportunity to win it!

  584. I feel as if I am connected to my laptop! It would be nice if I could find something a little more portable so that I can stay connected but still be able to get all the events I need to go to.

    Thanks for a great giveaway!

  585. This would give our family a second computer so I would not have to share. I am a graduate student and all my classes are online. My oldest also has autism and his Dr.’s recommended some programs to put on our computer for him but they are rather large so this would mean I could give him the old one to run his programs on. Also it being smaller and lighter means it would be easier for me to take with me to use as I wait while he is in his many appointments. My current ones battery makes it hard to take with me. 🙂

  587. Wow! Thanks for hosting this giveaway! A new laptop would help me so very much in homeschooling my two boys and a friend of theirs. We are always on the go and it would be so much easier to keep track of everything!

  589. I like that it stores so much info! It would make my life easier since it is lighter! Ok, ok, really it would also make my life easier b/c we would have two laptops at home and I wouldn’t have to share!!!!!!!!! Oh, terrible I know!!!!!!

  592. With my older children flying the coop – each heading off into their own directions, staying in touch is so important, from skype, FB, email it’s quickly becoming my lifeline to them. With a new granddaughter pictures, events, to be able to hook up and see her (and my daughter) is PRICELESS.
    The HP Pavilion dm1 would bless my life by offering me the gift of ‘connection’ . Plus, that sound system – i am a MUSIC freak, yeah I be the girl RAWKin no matter where I am – Thanks HP and 5 MintuesforMom.com

  594. I only have a desktop computer and if you want to use it you have to isolate yourself away from everyone in the office. I would love to have a portable computer to use in any room of my house. Finger crossed on this one!

  596. We are a military family and a new laptop would mean everyone gets to Skype with daddy while he is in the desert! How wonderful! He wouldn’t wait in line for hours to talk to us for ten minutes and I would see his face and know he is ok. 🙂

  597. I would love to win this computer! I am a paralegal and have to be away from my family for 6 weeks at the beginning of the summer for a trial – this would allow me to stay in touch with them so I won’t miss their entire summer!

  602. We currently are using a 10 yr. old computer that is slow and ragged. I hate using it. I hope we can somehow find the money to purchase a new one or win one! My kids have so many projects to do and a new computer would be a helpful solution for us.

  604. YESSSS!!!! Would love to win this! We have a iMac desktop and don’t allow the kids to play around w/ it too much since it’s our only computer! Would love to have the portability of this computer as well as something the kids can use under my supervision!! Thanks so much!!! 🙂

  606. I am going back to school this fall, and this little baby would be perfect for carrying to class and taking notes, plus it would be invaluable for writing all those papers that will be assigned.

  608. This would make my life easier by not having to share our (my) laptop with my husband! Especially when I go back to school this fall, it would be nice to have a laptop I can take with me to classes.

  609. I would love to win this. I have been wanting a lap top for a long time now. It would make my life so much easier as far as business goes because I could take it to shows where wi-fi is available and help customers enter their orders right then on my website so I wouldn’t have to keep track of order forms and such. This would really help to boost my business if I could have it with me at events!!

  610. As a mom of three boys (ages 5 years, 2.5 years, and 3 months) I can really use this to write out all my joys and frustrations, memories and poems! It could be a space just for me, anywhere I could find a quiet spot!

  613. this would be great and so much faster than my old desktop for school,work,church/ sunday school .

  614. I currently have a desktop computer. The HP would allow me the freedom to access all of my files from where ever I am. Which would help so much raising 4 boys and always on the go.

  615. this would make it that I could co anywhere and have so much fun. Right now I share my desktop with grandkids so they can learn, so I’m not able to use it when they are on it.

    also follow on twitter. 🙂

    thanks,
    Dina s

  617. By winning this notebook, I would be able to sell my laptop and kickstart my Total Money Makeover (Dave Ramsey style!). Plus, I just really like new technology and this sounds like fun 🙂

  621. Wow! I would love to win! I am a busy Mom of two sons and this computer would help me to get better organized! Thanks for the chance!

  622. i would LOVE to win this. I’m still on an old desktop from 1998. Seriously. It’s about to die any moment.

    I would love to have this for many reasons. The size and the power are the perfect combo! It would make my life easier, b/c I could take my computer WITH me when I’m not at home. As it is, I’m stuck at my desk with my huge, old monitor. I don’t even have a flat screen. 🙁 The integrated wireless and the 9 hours of power would help me work on my online business from anywhere for a considerable amount of time without having to plug-in!

  624. The dm1 Notebook would make my life so much easier. I do home parties and instead of waiting until I get home after a party, I can input everyone’s orders right then and there.

  626. The dm1 would make my life easier because I could take it on the go with me seeing as how I am constantly on the go it seems

  628. A laptop would make it possible to update my blog, Twitter and Facebook status from anywhere instead of being chained to my desktop. It would make my online life a lot easier.

  629. I’m a Mac girl through and through but in researching options for my soon-to-be homeschooled little one I’ve pretty much decided that a PC is the way to go – simply for cost effectiveness and ease of educational software use – this would be perfect!

  630. I would love to win this laptop. I don’t currently have one (I know, join the times!!) So I am in desparate need of one and this would be a perfect one for me.

  632. Just like everyone else, I’d love to win this computer! I do music, book and movie reviews online and it would be very helpful! I don’t have a blog or a site so I can’t link, but thanks for letting me enter!

  633. I would love to win this. I travel a lot to babysit for grandkids (I have 29) and this would be so helpful to carry with me to keep up on all my computer things!

  636. Great review! The battery life sounds amazing. We homeschool and the portability of his laptop would certainly make our homeschooling easier when we are on the go.

  637. HP Pavilion dm1 with VISION Technology from AMD would make my life so much easier by helping me stay connected with my sister back home in Germany ( I am in Vermont ). We video chat weekly and my laptop is getting old and knocks me off all the time which cuts into our time together online which is very important to both of us. Havening a new laptop would make a huge difference and also would make my mothers day a great one. We will be video chatting that day to 🙂 thanks for the chance to win!!!

    I already follow HP_PC on twitter @inky08

  642. WoW!! This would be so wonderful because I would send it to my son, who is currently deployed for a year to Afghanistan with the US Army. He only has a tiny netbook and it doesn’t work very well. This would allow him to reach out to all of us here at home. His wife is currently pregnant and we could all skype with each other and tell him how much we love him and miss him.

  643. Winning a HP Notebook would be so fantastic! I am in need of one desperately – I teach coupon classes and need a notebook to present. My current laptop has a short and power has been flakey of late. I want to be able to present anywhere – help people learn how to help their family budget – and a notebook will allow me to present with confidence! Thanks for considering me.

  646. This would be so nice because we have one computer to share between 3 people. I also have a sciatic nerve issue and I would be able to lay in bed instead of sitting in a chair to work on the internet. This would be fantastic all the way around. Thanks for the opportunity to win.

  647. Hi, I’m a new follower, and I am SO glad I came across your blog!

    My mother has been a teacher for the past 20 years. She is a hard-working, endlessly unselfish woman who LOVES her job, and performs her duties with much enthusiasm. The only computer she has had has been a desktop that is seven years old, and having a laptop to prepare her lesson plans as well as for email correspondence with parents, and other teachers would be a HUGE help! She has severe arthritis in both her knees, and she has to walk all the way to the computer lab at the other end of the campus in order to get anything done, and this would be a great help in alleviating her need to walk that far. Above all, her orthopedic doctor has been recommending a knee replacement surgery for both her knees for 2 years now, but she’s been postponing it because she wants to make sure to save up for it, since she only gets paid 10 months of the year – winning this would just make her YEAR!

    Thank you, yet again, for hosting such an AMAZING giveaway! 😀

  648. This would make life so much easier! Due to the fact that we are raising 5 teenage boys, VERY rarely can we ever afford to buy ourselves anything!

  651. Great giveaway! With 2 upcoming surgeries, I will be spending quite a bit of time in the hospital… and then on the couch! LOL The HP Pavilion would make my life much easier to manage my blog, update my family members on my progress, and not have to get up and down to go to the desktop. 🙂 Thanks for the chance!

  652. What a super nice giveaway. It would be a great addition and easy for travel and writing my books and blog posts on the go. I follow HP on twitter too – Happy Mother’s Day.

    BK

  654. I have an old netbook and it’s so slooow and clunky. I would love something with a little more oomph to use at my writer’s group and for blogging!

  658. I’d like to win this for my mother. This would make her life easier because she doesn’t currently have a working computer, so she uses those available at the public library.

  659. I would like to win this for my wife so she can do her work while watching the kids outside playing.

  661. I would love to win this so I can be where my family is at. I hate no being able to have my family and my computer together. I feel I miss out because I’m stuck where the computer is.

  663. The dm1 would make my life easier because I waste more time waiting for my current laptop to un-freeze when I try to multi-task. It’s so frustrating, and getting worse. lisacarr7 ataol dot com

  665. having one would allow me to type notes in class and do homework between classes so i can finally graduate and get a job that pays well instead of the one i have now!

    ferriza2(at)yahoo(dot)com

  666. I have never owned a laptop before, so this would open a whole new world! As a matter of fact.. my husband and I are going on a trip (without the kids) and were looking at getting a laptop so we could skype while we were gone. So this laptop would be great!

  667. This would make my sons life so much easier! he is in highschool and needs a laptop but i cant afford one right now. so please, enter me into this giveaway!

  668. I can’t even tell you how many ways this would make my life easier. The convenience would be amazing!!

  671. That would make my life easier because I’d have another computer for my kids! We have 7 people in our family and only 3 computers…we home school our children, and I work from home, so it makes it hard to only have 3.

  672. Would like to win this one for my daughter, she needs to do a bunch of printing for her school

  673. My wife is a wonderful mother of three that is going to school for her nursing degree. Having a laptop would free her up from library to do homework at home which she would dearly love.

  674. I would love to have the new computer for our homeschool! We have 2 boys who will need a computer for the next school year!!!

  675. I would be able to be productive while waiting at dance (11 hours a week) for my daughter

  676. My computer died and I have not replaced it yet because of money issues. This would be a great gift for me to win!

  678. I can’t tell you how much this would help me and make my life much easier. This is an awesome gift.

  680. Having this HP Pavillion dm1 would sooo make my life easier! I have a 7 year old Macbook that has been slowly but surely dying on me. First the DVD drive busted, then the battery went kaput so I have to keep it plugged in, now the fan has decided to go on overdrive anytime I use the computer for more than 5 minutes, so I hear a loud buzzing practically the minute I open the darn thing! Would really really love a new laptop! Thank you!

  682. It would make my life easier because I would be able to take my computer where the kids are instead of having to lock myself away in a room. I could sit on the couch with my husband and work online. This would be great!

  684. The dm1 would make my life easier in many, many ways! First and foremost- a laptop is my lifeline to the world. I have 6 month old twins and a 2 year old, and they basically keep me hostage. I manage to feel somewhat human with being able to stay in touch on FB and twitter- but the laptop we have is old and outdated and dies easily. Not to mention- the whole ‘5 Minutes for Mom thing’ is taken pretty literally around here! I have 5 minutes- IF THAT on a daily basis to jump on the computer- so freezing up, crashing, etc usually takes up that entire 5 minutes. Lastly, the webcam would be great for getting relatives off my back. Haha- well- it would. We live 12 hours from our family and they are constantly begging for pictures and whatnot of the boys. This cam would help me keep in touch with them as well. Thanks for the great giveaway!! Now…back to my hole I go….

  686. This computer would make my life SO much easier! I think the number one thing I would use it for is blogging. Right now I’m stuck to a desktop because my last laptop died on me! I would love, love, love for this one to replace mine!

  688. I’m a busy working mom of 3 boys under the age of 6. I have a laptop for work but nothing at home. So each night I lug my work computer home so that I can get online, or so that my boys can use sites like Starfall. I’d love to have a personal laptop for home use because I know it would make my life easier, and my aching back sure would appreciate it too! The HP laptop sounds like the perfect fit for me — I take lots of photos with my boys and would love to download them easier using the laptop’s media card reader. And the webcam has been on my wishlist for a LONG time so that we can stay in better contact with parents, grandparents and cousins who live far away.

    Thanks for the contest!!

  690. I would LOVE this computer! I have 5 kids and I am CONSTANTLY taking pics and scrapbooking them. Everything I do is digital, therefore I NEED the computer for it. I have to share my computer with my husband and 5 kids, and they are always loosing my pics, deleting, or just plain not giving me time on the computer. LOL. I would love to have my own space in my world where everything is shared with my munchkins and hubby. I would be one Happy Mommy of 5Kidz If I won this! Thank you so much for the opportunity!

  691. If I won this, I would give it to my sister, who doesn’t have a computer. She would love
    this gift. Also she was born on Mothers Day.

  694. I would love to have this. My current laptop is five years old and is slowly dying on me.

  696. This would be wonderful! My 2 boys ( almost 1 and almost 4) get into EVERYTHING and having a laptop to get things done online instead of a desktop would be wonderful… I used to have a laptop, but my oldest (almost 4) broke it 🙁

  697. I would love to win this labtop for my mother she really is such an amazing women not only has she raised my sister and i both she also has helped me through labor and becoming a single mother teaching me whats good for my child and whats not all in the past seven months. My mother really does desver something great

  698. The hubs and I share one computer…and he uses it often for work. It would allow me to get my “computer” work done without bugging him! 🙂

  700. This would be great for my husband, who currently shares our desktop with 3 kids – needless to say, it gets slower and slower every day. I know this is for Mother’s day – but it would make my life easier if I didn’t have to keep “fixing” the desktop to make it faster for him. lol

  701. What a great gift! I have created photo share sites for my family (one for the whole family and one for just my little boy’s adventures) as well as my little boy’s ball teams. I also have an at-home painting business where I need to showcase pictures. In short – a great deal of my life revolves around a computer and great photo editing software. I would love to have a computer that is “all mine” that I can take with me wherever I go. Love it!

  704. I would love to enter this giveaway for the notebook – I guess I AM entering this giveaway for the notebook!! I would use it to take with me on my July trip to Guatemala (it’s a mission trip) to record all of my impressions in order to share the information in my blogs after the trip!

  705. This is wonderful, I would love to have it. You offer great gifts!! You rock ladies!!

  707. My husband takes our laptop to work. I get to use the netbook during the day. And though I am very thankful, it just doesn’t have much memory and doesn’t do some of the things I’d like. A new notebook would be great!

  709. this would make my life easier because my current computer is so slow… it’d be easier to work from home with this! thank you!!

  710. My desktop is acting stupid and I’m sure it’s just a matter of time before it gives up and I need a new one so winning this laptop would be perfect .

  711. What a great contest! this would be great – my current laptop is about 3 years old…

  712. What an amazing computer, it would be such a blessing to have something like this. In our tiny house we can’t have a desktop.

  713. The dual-core AMD Fusion processor would make my life easier because I can do things like read my emails and shop online faster!!

  714. My daughter, who is a single mom with two precious little boys of her own and who is also helping raise her nephew (long story!), is getting ready to start College classes in August. She needs a laptop for school and we’re struggling to figure out how to make it all happen. Winning this one would definitely take some weight and worry off her shoulders.

  716. This would make my life so much easier. I have an online store and would love a way to keep in touch when I have to be away. Also, when people pick up their orders, they ask questions about other items and I often have to run in the house and check the desktop computer in the office.

  717. This would be amazing…….our 2 year old thinks that our current laptop looks better with 1/3 of the keys missing…….of course he would not be allowed access to the new one! 🙂

  719. I have a computer which I am very thankful for but my son asked me to try to help him get one. When he is with his children we are able to Skype so we can see them since they live out of state if he had a working computer.

  720. Y’all know me, always online. 🙂 With the new baby coming, I’m sure I’ll be doing a lot of work while nursing, and trying to hold both the baby and this huge laptop is going to be a tough job! A smaller machine would be AMAZING!

  721. This would make life easier for my husband when he has medical appointments, he could take this with him.

  722. I like that it has premium sound built in. One thing I hate in computers is sound so tinny that it annoys

  725. I desperately need a new laptop… my screen display jumps unless I push the screen all the way back (flat on the table) and then stand above it to see! Winning this HP would allow me to sit while using my laptop! Thanks SO much for the chance!

  728. I would love a laptop i dont have one & neither does my mother I would prolly give it to her of course if she wanted it.

  730. This would make my life easier by letting me work while my daughter watched videos on our other computer. Currently, we’ll share a screen – mostly movie, and a quarter screen for work. Not ideal!!

  732. Oh man this would be awesome! My current computer is about 5 1/2 yrs old and well you know its ancient and so slooooowww. This would be great since I am starting to homeschool my son next year! Thank you so much for the chance!
    agatewood1@ymail.com

  733. This would make my life so much easier because I will give it to my mom, which means she won’t be jumping on my computer all the time.

  736. Wow, a laptop would be awesome for the upstairs while my LO can play in his room. It’s hard to pay bills, check emails, print coupons downstairs on my hubby’s PC downstairs while holding/entertaining LO 🙂 It would definitely be welcomed in our home. I’m sure with this HP laptop, I can program to print from upstairs and pick up my coupons from my printer on the way out to the garage downstairs! Triple Kudos for this sweeps 🙂

  739. The dm1 would make my life easier by ending the battle for who gets to use the computer… my daughter for schoolwork (and facebook, I *know* she’s there a lot) or me for sweeps and emails and surveys and trying to find a job!

  740. Oh my goodness. What an awesome gift. This would be like winning the lottery. I would be in totaly shock to be able to use an updated computer!!

  741. I would LOVE a laptop. My husband and I looked into getting one a while back, but finances just didn’t work out. I currently run a daycare out of our home and while I am always on the main floor of our house, the desktop is downstairs in the basement. We finally got am iPad, but unfortunately, it doesn’t allow me to unload pictures from my camera, use flash player to watch videos, print or many other functions that would be so convenient durning nap times!

    I have also followed HP PC on Twitter (@melpilchard)

  742. I don’t have a laptop, just a tired old desktop that I think Moses might have used to write down notes about those commandments God gave him! 🙂 I would love this!

  743. I’m dying over this giveaway! It would simplify my life because I need a more portable computer for school.

  745. I would love to be able to win this laptop to be able to go back to school and get my degree, i stay home with my son now and im nervous to put him in daycare, but just cant afford a laptop to do my schooling. If i was to win I would be able to get my degree at home while still taking care of my son. It would be the perfect mothers day gift. Thankyou

  746. i don’t have a working laptop right now so it would make my life easier to have this i could take it anywhere in the house or yard while watching my son
    nannypanpan at gmail.com

  749. It would help make my life easier by taking it on the go. My son has lot’s of appointments and we travel to his grandmother often. It would help us so very much!

  751. Owning this computer would make my life so much easier because I could use it to keep myself organized. I am a really busy Mom of two sons and am always on the go!

  752. The dm1 would make my life easier because like you my laptop is large, heavy and does not hold a charge that long! calvad at aol dot com

  754. This would allow me to do my school, work and blog anywhere. How wonderful that would be to now be tied down to the desk!

  755. This would make my life easier as I would be able to do things on the computer from upstairs and not in the basement!

  759. This would if won be a replacement to the laptop that my husband currently uses which is a broke down gimpy netbook running windows xp. it works ok but he likes to play games on line and it takes for ever for them to load on the computer.

  760. I would love to have a laptop for my mother for her birthday this year. She has an ancient Dell desktop model that is giving her fits. She’s turning 71 this year and can’t always spend much time sitting at her desk. She could use this laptop while reclining.

  762. I would love to win a laptop. I do not have one. This would make work a lot easier and a great back up to my desktop. I also can take it and work anywhere.

  764. As a busy mom of 5 children I feel like I am constantly on the go. Having a small computer that is easy to take with me, would allow me to keep up on my church and other volunteer responsibilities while I am waiting at dance practice or soccer games.

  765. I recently started my own business and am in desparate need for a laptop or notebook to help with all the paperwork, scheduling, blogging, keeping up to date with all the other glorious business stuffs and marketing, etc. I never win anything but I would so love to win this…so I can really follow my dream and be successful.

  767. The HP Pavilion dm1 with VISION Technology from AMD would help me visit my blogs on the go.

  768. I am following them on Twitter 😀 @TimboSquad

    Please feel free to contact me at – allrightyes at gmail dot com

  769. Being a student, the dm1 would make my life easier as my old laptop just finally broke. The screen won’t turn on and all my data’s still on there 🙁

    Please feel free to contact me at – allrightyes at gmail dot com

  770. I would make my daughter very happy. She is 10, in 5th grade, advanced classes since 3d grade, and has to get by with her mother’s laptop. She cant keep doing that as she hits really advanced classes in middle school.

  771. A new computer would help me out so muchh, mine broke right before my son was born and i havent been able to afford another one but i’ve been trying to get one to finish my schooling online

  773. My business is based online and having busy children this would come in handy. I currently have a desktop that is downstairs in the basement office so I am constantly running up and down the stairs. This would come in very handy for me.

  774. The HP Pavilion dm1 would make my life easier because my old Dell laptop is constantly crashing and runs very slow.

  777. Oh my goodness – this would definitely make my job of running 5 kids to different activities, church duties & working SOOOO MUCH easier! So sleek looking too!
    Our laptop has the same problem with power, it’s definitely fustrating to constantly be running low & keeping an eye out for a power source!

  778. I would love to have a computer that could burn a cd…I’d love to be able to make photo cds for the grandparents or music cds for our van!

  779. would love to have this for college i could stay home and study instead of driving to school.would save lots of money 🙂

  781. I’ve never had a laptop so I’m always chained to my desk. This would make it so much easier, especially since I’m always on the go toting the kids from one activity to another.
    Thanks for the giveaway!

  782. Having a laptop would be so helpful so I am not confined to my office and I could be more mobile, like my 9 month old daughter is starting to be!
