That is so cool! I wish I could snag something like this for my brother. His PC has got to be about 10 years old now, at least. He's done so much for me, including helping me with Mac stuff a few years ago that it would be great to return the favor.

Do the giveaway on Twitter with a random number generator.

Nice looking Laptop. So how does one enter to win this puppy?

I think the best way to give away the laptop is to create a survey of questions that best discribes the needs of the potential winner.
1) What would be the primary use for your new HP Elitebook? A: Work, w/ description or Personal
2)If you won, how would it enhance your current situation with the new technology?
3)If you won, do you think it would cause you to do something randomly nice for someone else?
4) if you won, would you consider donating your used laptop (if you have one)to a School, charity or non-profit?
If so, which one?
Then set a time line for submissions and then judge which submission is the most compelling.

Something original with the use of twitter and that does not entail sob stories!

Please no sob story criteria! Go with something twitter related instead.

I also can't wait for your review of the Hp Laptop. And can't wait for a chance to possibly win the giveaway. I spend so much more time away from home & that's when I'm most creative. The first Pc I bought was a Hp, lasted me for almost 12 yrs, it gave me all it had until a year ago. Awaiting your review of this model.

Still haven't found anywhere that one can enter this giveaway, maybe I am just to stupid but theres doesn't seem to be a twitter, facebook, google connect entry method or am I wrong. No Options page? Question, How to enter and when, no rules with start and end date, number of entries, ect.. What up?
