Win an HP Mini 1000

by

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

They say great things come in small packages. I don’t really know who “they” are, but “they” appear to be right. At least when talking about HP’s line of Mini PC’s, the HP Mini 1000.

Before I get to the technical stuff, let me just tell you – this computer is cute. It’s not just kind of cute, it’s give-it-a-name-and-treat-it-like-your-new-baby cute.

At less than an inch thick and weighing little more than 2 pounds, the HP Mini 1000 is perfect for mom bloggers on the go. And it’s easy to use, which is an added perk because who has time to decipher the configuration of PMP’s in the N276 sector of your control panel whilst three kids are screaming for your attention in the background? (If it isn’t obvious, my knowledge of computers ends slightly beyond the on/off switch. Ease in a PC? That’s music to my ears.)

The HP Mini 1000 is more than just cute, though. It’s also functional. It includes Genuine Windows XP Home Edition with Service Pack 3 for getting things done and staying connected in a protected environment, an Ethernet jack, two USB ports, and Wi-Fi and Bluetooth wireless capabilities as well as a built in webcam and microphone. It also boasts a keyboard that is nearly full size at 92% of a regular keyboard.

All of these combine together to create the perfect station for storing photos, music and files while giving you access to the internet and to your family when you are on the go.

Mini PCs are geared toward information “snacking” and content enjoyment. “Staying connected to your world – however you define it – is increasingly important to people on the go,” said Ted Clark, senior vice president and general manager, Notebook Global Business Unit, Personal Systems Group, HP.

“That’s why HP is excited to address this new high-growth market with a portfolio of head-turning mini companion PCs that are fun and easy to use.”

For the busy mom on the go, it’s perfect. It can even fit in your purse or diaper bag. And have I mentioned that it’s cute?

The HP Mini 1000 XP edition retails starting at $299.99. But one lucky reader will have the chance to win her own (super cute) HP Mini 1000 XP Edition, retail value $469.99, in our Mother’s Day Giveaway contest. That’s right, one of you will get to take one home, name it, cradle it and love it as your own. Who’s excited?

  27. I have never owned a laptop!
    Would be wonderful to have when I am away from home, at the hospital or visit friends. I would not have to miss out on all these wonderful blogs….when I am away from my desktop.
    OH! To surf the internet from bed…….what a fantasy for me!
    I would love the freedom a laptop would provide!

  61. I can’t seem to win something I need so badly.
    My pc is on its last key stroke, as I type it keeps shutting down and needs restarted, I can’t live without my baby so hopefully I’m praying a new baby is being delivered by the stork to my house

    Thank you so much

  246. I wish I had the money to buy her one but my mother-in-law (yes I said said mother-in-law) is a sweetheart and does so much for everyone with what little she has. It sounds cliche but ‘everyone else always comes first’. She works two jobs (overnight and 6 hours during the day = hardly any sleep) and still has energy to laugh and converse with us. She has been wanting a computer and a vacation for a long time but we just don’t have it to get for her. This would take care of the computer part 🙂 She’s a beginner so this would be so perfect.

  247. I would love to win this HP Mini 1000 XP Edition

With 3 young children I am always on the go with them, with so many activities and appointments to get them to and from for, and I want to start working again so this nifty machine is what I need to get back into my design work that I miss so much. It is my idea of a dream machine and it would literally rock my world if I had one to use on the go! Thank you so much for the opportunity to enter.

  483. I would love a portable computer! My desktop is all I’ve ever owned. Thanks for the contest.

  484. This would be perfect for my friend who will be a new mother in 1 month! She could upload the thousands of pictures she’ll be taking of her new baby boy!

  585. OMG – I really could use a new computer & I’ve been wanting a laptop.
    It is cute!!

    Brooke

  609. Iwould love to win this! I have been wanting a small laptop. I subscribe to your newsletter.

  612. This would be an awesome surprise for my wife. She has been wanting one of these. Great way to honor her for mothers day…

  619. Wow, this is an awesome giveaway! I think we could all use this one so good luck to everyone!

  620. Of course I know that you know that you can have those things engraved with your name on them. The confusing thing for me is that I think Shea Ryan up there at #1959 should win this giveaway, so why when I look closely does it have my name on it?
    Please don’t give it to me if Shea Ryan can have it instead!

  622. I subscribe to your newsletter, but don’t have a blog, so can’t link. I’d love to win this for Mother’s Day 🙂

  624. I’m a single mom of one, recently disabled from injuries (car accident, broadsided 45mph by someone running a stop sign); living on a fixed income is hard, but I’ve never given up. My son tells me I’m still the BEST MOM ever! Having a mini (netbook) would be WONDERFUL, as it would allow me to check email, read the news online, etc. from my bed/the couch (spinal pain keeps me DOWN about 90% of the time) sometimes when it’s impossible for me to even move… You have NO IDEA how much it would make my life a ‘little easier’ and much more pleasant. 🙂

  625. Ooo… I’m thinking of all the ways a mini can be useful. What a great prize!

    I posted the button and subscribe to feed and newsletter.

    Happy Mother’s Day!

  635. I’ve never had a laptop, but I think this one might just be the one!! 🙂

  636. I would so love to have this so I could have computer time without interrupting my son’s homework.

  637. This looks like a great tool that I would thoroughly enjoy. I am an on the go mom who homeschools my children, teaches music at a Christian school and I am the music director at our church. This would be a great tool for not only my music and photos but a great way to stay in touch with all my friends and music director buddies. Thanks for this great giveaway.

  639. This would be absolutely awesome to win! I can just see sitting outside working on the computer while the kids play in the yard, or even at the park! Thanks for the chance!

  641. Computers are so very useful in our busy hectic lives and having a lap top would mean I could use it while waiting in a doctor’s office for a loved one or when I travel. We need to slow down and take more time with our families and I think a computer would allow me more free time for my family and myself.

    Thanks for offering this as a giveaway.

  654. Very nice. I’m thinking it would fit well in the diaper bag – not that the baby would give me many chances to use it when we’re out!

  655. Oh, that’s really cute! I love the size, perfect for on-the-go! And HP products are excellent.

  656. I would love to win a mini. HP has always been a favorite with me. I now am going to subscribe to your blog. Thanks.

  664. You guys are the best. Thanks for the opportunity to win such a great prize! I subscribe to the feed, newsletter, and have included a button on my site.

  667. Oh those things are so cute, and I would love to have one! Thank you for the opportunity to win one!

  668. This mini is awesome! It would fit right in my bag. I am always needing my laptop, but it is too much trouble to carry it everywhere. I would love to have one!

  680. wow even guys are chiming in, HAHA! this is awesome! it would surely make my first mothers day and EVEN more memorable one!!

  682. I’m new here and can’t believe this is the first time I’m seeing this site. I love it.

  683. I have craved one of these laptoips since they started becoming popular. I would love to have a laptop that is truly made to be portable. thank you so much for hsothing this awesome giveaway.

  685. A friend just pointed me in the direction of this wonderful site!! I can’t believe I’ve never come across this til now! Posting to my FB page as well 🙂

  689. This prize would be perfect for me. With two kids to manage, a full-time at-home business of my own, and a husband that’s leaving for Boot Camp in 22 days, a mini PC could sure make my life easier!

I have never been able to afford a really nice gift for her and this may 10th is more than Mothers day- its my parents 45th wedding anniversary. Let me not be a screw up for once!

    skyxsky27[at]gmail.com

  907. This would be great for internet use while I’m out in the backyard watching my son play! Awesome giveaway! Thanks!

  910. These netbooks are the hottest thing right now. I’ve checked them out, and you don’t lose any performance. These are slick, well made, powerful smaller versions of laptops. I want one so bad! – [email protected]

  912. I think it is wonderful that you wonderful blog owners are working so hard at trying to give your followers the best, highest quality products as review items and giveaways. Count me in on this giveaway, please.

    On the other hand, it sucks that people like Alethea (in the 800-range comments) either don’t read the rules, don’t double check their entries, or outright cheat to try to get an advantage in the giveaway. I sure hope you get a chance to double check the entries to remove inappropriate entries. I’d hate to see someone else lose the prize because it goes person one or two before them because of a bad entry that doesn’t get removed. Just pondering out loud.

  913. This would be perfect for me. I’m tired of using other peoples computers.

  915. To be honest I’d love to give this to my own Mom.

    I’ve linked you from my blog.

  916. Lost my computer to the April Virus and could definitely use a new one. Great Giveaway!

  922. If I win this, Im going to kiss all the commentors! muah ah ah! teehee! come on ME!

  986. I already left a comment, I also tweeted, subscribed to feed and signed up for the newsletter. I hope to win!!

  987. I am tied to my desktop which is in a room that is away from everyone and everything else. I would love to be able to sit on my deck or in the kitchen and have access to my computer. This HP computer is so small yet functional that I’d would also be able to take it and use it wherever I go.

  991. This would be so great!! My wife is in law school and could really use a laptop.

  992. So much smaller and easily stowed than my current Macbook. Luv to have one.

  999. I’ve been dying for a portable laptop just for me! Especially with summer coming, I’d love to be able to sit outside and go online.

  1002. Oh yes please, I am going back to school and could really put this to good use thanks

  1004. Winning a new laptop would be such a blessing for me. My 10-month old son has been diagnosed with Gaucher Disease Type 3, a fatal genetic disease. In order to save his life he has to undergo a bone marrow/cord blood transplant.

    The transplant will be done at sick kids hospital over 3-1/2 hours away from home, and I will have to stay with my son there for up to 3 months.

    Having a new, and reliable laptop – small enough to carry around – to work on at the hospital from would be really great.

    Thank-you for the opportunity 🙂

  1029. My mom could use one of these. I can’t tell you how many times she has spent Mother’s Day in the urgent care with me, due to one thing or another. Good thing we both have good senses of humor! Having a laptop will definately help her during my next klutz attack! lol
