    Well, this is the last one I am entering, I have lost in all the previous ones so far. I even entered all 31 HP HDX contest and lost, can’t handle the disappointment anymore. I have made it clear, I plan to share the gift with my church and my siblings. The only thing I want out of this is the HDX because Windows 7 and Multi-Touch.

    I really hope to win. The prize is too much for someone. It is really indeed sharing the magic, i believe the prize should be split so that more people have chances of winning and giving to the people in various places around the world, like in my small country Belize. It is great from HP & Microsoft and other partners to be giving away such extraordinary high tech package.

    Hope to win!  If I do, here’s what I plan to do with the prizes:

    “I would donate the desktop (TouchSmart) and both of the notebooks to NorthStar Youth Ministries in Birmingham, AL (http://www.northstaryouthministries.org/). My girlfriend has worked directly with that non-profit organization, and she has relayed to me how desperately the camp needs new computers. Both the staff of NorthStar and the children who go through the program could benefit from the use of these cutting-edge computers (I firmly believe that one of the ways out of poverty is good education, especially with computers).

    I would also donate the software too, of course. I personally am really only interested in the Mini and the printer.”

    Awesome! I was so pleased to see that I was automatically entered for signing up. Thank you so much for the chance. I would be over the moon to win (but who wouldn’t?!). I want to give this prize to my boyfriend. He runs his own computer business, and needs to upgrade his workstation soon. This would be SUCH a help!! Not to mention how much joy it would bring him to have the newest, funnest gadgets! He would be ecstatic! It would be the best present ever, and he truly deserves it. So thank you to Gadgetell and HP for this amazing chance! My fingers are crossed. :)

    This prize is dazzling.  HP has outdone themselves with this promotion.  FIFTY mega-treasure-chests!  The Magic has me returning to the computer, over and over each day, eager with anticipation.

    Thank you so much for this dream giveaway.  Yay!

    HP Magic Giveaway -
    It sure is Magic!  This is the perfect time of year to share the wealth. If I were to win this contest, I would share two of the computers with a family my sister told me about.  They live near her, in Texas, and their youngest son, Rowan, spends almost all of his time in the hospital (more than 200 days this year) which is a long drive from their home. He’s missed every holiday and most of the family’s birthdays because of being in the hospital.  When my sister and I heard about this contest we thought that the family could use the computers video capabilities to video chat and see more of eachother.  It’s not a miracle, but it may help their spirits to receive such a wonderful gift.  With the exception of one laptop that I would love to keep for my family, the rest of the package will be given to Rady Children’s Hospital Oncology Department in San Diego (where my son spent a lot of his time last year).

    If i were to win this competition i would firstly be over excited and overwhelmed, because i have won nothing in my life, and this would be the first time.

    I would like to donate the DV4 notebook to Don Bosco Boarding School, because these kids have nothing at all, let alone computers they daily food is like only lentils, and chicken or meat is bought for them only on occasions. I would really like these kids to learn how to use a computer and educate themselves.

    Another notebook I would like to give to a Nursery School which is funded by our church, this school has no technology at all, they have been asking me to help them get different quotations for computers but even the cheapest one they aren’t able to afford. They use an ancient typewriter to type out letters. So I would like them to have a notebook.

    I would like my wife to have the HP Mini, cause she is doing a 4 month course in Sales & Marketing and at the moment she is writing everything down on paper. I know this would help her alot and would make her really happy.

    The Kung Fu Panada Movie i would like to give to my cuz cause they love that cartoon.


    Besides i have had an extremely bad year since the beginning, firstly we were asked to leave our house, so we needed to leave immediately, then in June my father passed away because of cancer, then 2 months later my aunt passed away, she slipped and fell in the bathroom, then again 2 months later i lost my job. So my winning this it would really make me and my family happy, and before this year ends it will make our Christmas special. And adding to all this I was not robbed of US$8000 for work I did for the past 4 months for a client remotely.

    So I would really like to win and make me a bit happy and the people around me, by gifting them these wonderful computers

    Thank you.

    This isn’t going to be a save the world story but I hope readers will
    still be interested. I will start with how this package will effect me since that’s
    the least important. Okay, I will attempt to stray away from the sob stories.
    Anyways I am 19 years old and I never went to college, I couldn’t afford it and
    My family moved way too much for it to work out, recently though I have been getting
    into classes on line, I’m attempting to become a network administrator but that requires
    me to have a working computer, my current one is horrible. It crashes randomly, and I am
    constantly asking tech support forums for their help, having a new laptop would just enable
    so much. I can not even begin to tell you how much. I have a desk top now and the portable
    does not exist, when I heard about these give aways that was the first thing that came to my
    mind, then I realized what else I could do if I won the package.

        My sister is 22 and she just had her second baby, she is doing very well taking care of
    them, but she can not afford anything not absolutely necessary. She has a computer now but it
    is horrible, ads that have flash cause he computer to crash, she can not go on a lot of the
    sites that she introduced me to, it’s not a very fun thing to know. If I win this contest, and
    I know I won’t :( she without a doubt in my mind deserves a new laptop, on top of that I want
    her to bhave the printer, she loves taking pictures of her babies and being able to print them
    out would be amazing. I want to be able to give her something but I know I’m not able to.


      The touchsmart, which I guess you could say is the most notable piece here; would go to my
    Grandma, my grandma is almost 70 years old and everything she watches has a website. She loves
    watching animal planet and Hgtv. She has asked me to show her how to use the computer so she
    can go online but her eyes aren’t the greatest so she can’t see the little pointer, and she
    has arthritis so using the mouse can be painful at times. As of right now her life is probably
    less than what she would want, she eats/sleeps/watches tv. She used to be extremely active.
    She is 0 native American and she grew up on a reservation and she dealt with racism and
    she worked her entire life, this is something she more than deserves, it would mean everything
    to her. Not just as a new item in her life but as a connection to more people than just her
    neighbors, she has been wanting to look up one of her brothers who moved to Hawaii a long time
    ago and if she had this it would put her on the right track. This is probably the most important
    part of the package, I wish you guys knew how much she has been through and how much this would
    effect her.


      The Hp-mini, would go to my step mom as a Christmas present, she is always on the go and hardly
    home but can’t afford more than a note-pad. Her and my Dad are trying to start a restaraunt and
    catering buisiness and this would help them a lot. They are always writing stuff down and this mini
    would be a portable godsend for them.

     
      The mediacenter would be for my Dad, without a doubt. We don’t have a lot of computers or anything
    but this would be a very nice addition and he would love it. I am aware they’re just computers and
    it may seem like they wouldn’t have sucha large impact, but this package would likely give my
    family a nice boost, and hopefully help me finish getting my ‘degree’, thanks for reading.
