Mother’s Day Giveaway – HP Pavilion dm1

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.

  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!!

  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!

  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.

    Reply

  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.

  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.

  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!

    Reply

  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

    Reply

  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!

    Reply

  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!

    Reply

  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!

  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.

    Reply

  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.

    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.

    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

  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.

  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!

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!

  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!

  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.

    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.

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!

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.

  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

  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!

  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.

  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!

  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!!!

  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.

  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! 😀

  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!

  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.

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!
