Win a HP “Better Together” Back to School Bundle: Netbook, Notebook and Backpack!

| August 19, 2009 | 1,314 Comments

Looking for a netbook or notebook? Well, here’s your chance to win one of each. Read on for your chance to win a powerful multimedia notebook, a netbook for when you want to travel light and a custom backpack.

HP’s given Notebooks.com and 24 other sites some great gear to pass on to our readers. The notebook is a fully loaded HP Pavilion dv6 that’s powerful enough to use as an entertainment or gaming PC. The netbook is an HP Mini 110. The backpack is made by Timbuk2.

All versions of the dv6 come with a 16″ display, Altec Lansing speaakers and an HDMI port, but the one we’re giving away this isn’t just any dv6. With a value of about $1,600, you won’t find a machine like this sitting at your local discount retailer.

This custom dv6 comes with premium options including the optional moonlight white finish, 500GB hard drive, Blu-ray Disc drive and ATI Mobility Radeon HD4650 graphics with 1GB of VRAM. Its Intel Core 2 Duo P7350 2.0GHz processor is more than fast enough for most users. It runs Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit, which means it takes full advantage of the system’s 4GB of RAM.

But enough about the dv6′s specs. HP sent over an evaluation unit for long term review and I’ve had a chance to use it for a couple of weeks. It plays back Blu-ray discs flawlessly, even while multitasking. I tried playing back gameplay on Call of Duty: World at War and was impressed with the smooth experience.

The dv6 is powerful, but it can be a pain to lug around a 16″ notebook around campus all day. When you need something more portable and with a longer battery life the Mini 110 XP Edition can come in handy. Its antiglare display is easier to read under direct light than glossy displays. The six-cell battery makes the netbook heavier than the standard three-cell battery, but the tradeoff is worth it since the larger battery keeps the Mini 110 going for about 5.5 hours on a single charge.

If you win the netbook and notebook you’ll need a way to transport the pair. That’s where the Timbuk2 Swig backpack comes into play. Timbuk2′s bags are built of high-quality materials and are anything but boring. I’m trying out one of Timbuk2′s backpacks and it’s very comfortable and has more than enough room for a pair of computers, a few books and accessories.

    For me, the signup box for the giveaway mailings didn’t work (“Nothing found for 2009 08 19 Win-a…”

    My son and I are attending college together, majoring in computer science technologies. Since both computers can handle all the software for our classes, we’d be able to grab the one that works best for the class, then sync them later to ensure they both have all our notes. (This semester, we don’t have classes in common; next semester we might!) At this point, we’re hardware-short, since his Nokia 810 and Toshiba notebook have both gone south at the same time, and money-short since I found out I have narcolepsy by dozing off and totalling my car on a tree. (so much for tear-jerking, sorry!) Anyway, it would be great to be able to share the hardware and work together through this degree!

    This bundle would help me alot. My laptop, which was given to me by a friend, just died about two weeks ago. College is starting tomorrow, and I’ve been trying to figure out what is wrong with it. I won’t be able to buy a laptop, and right now it looks like I’ll have to make do without a laptop.

    I would really love to win this bundle because I start high school in about two weeks. To put it frankly, my computer runs like a bag of bones. It would be great for working on assignments & projects on the go, unlike the desktop computer I have now. It’s full of constant problems but we cant afford to get a new one at the moment.

    Also, my best friend and I are starting up this Youtube channel and with the built in webcams we can take them on the go and record whatever we’re doing. It would also make it easier to piece together clips, edit them, and post them to the account.

    Thanks for hosting this amazing giveaway + thanks for the chance :)

    Other than that, I’m an amateur graphic designer and movie editor and plan on going to the university next year so the HP dv6 will be really good for that

    I want this bundle to replace my two-year-old HP Pavilion, which has a faulty processor that HP won’t repair (call it poetic justice if I win). I’m also going back to school and need a reliable set of computers. My wife’s mac broke this week, so she also needs a computer to continue doing her designs.

    I would find these two computers extremely useful for my side business as a blogger! it would allow me to un-tether myself from my desktop computer at home, and allow me to write wherever I want, whenever I want. Plus, i love those timbuk2 bags – I’ve had one of those in messenger bag form since 2000, and it is extremely durable – best bag I’ve ever owned. Pick me! :)

    Hello,

    I would love to win this bundle because it would be really useful getting started as a photographer. I studied photojournalism in college and now am trying to make it in the real world.

    The Netbook would be perfect for taking on shoots and using software like CaptureOne to write files onto the netbook as i shoot them! Then I can take the files home and transfer them to the notebook and work on them in post. The Sync software included would also be a great help for this!

  68. Ian says:

    I would love to win the notebook/netbook combo to aid in my on-the-go studies and blogging. I commute to school so the netbook would be ideal for study sessions in the library, but I need the computer power of a full-fledged laptop to get work done at home. Best of both worlds!

My research involves doing a lot of surveys of the public, so the netbook would give me something portable where I can “write” down their responses. Then when I get back home the notebook would give me something powerful to do statistical work on and maybe play an occasional game. Thanks for the chance to win!

    I’d love the netbook and the backpack to ride into work every day. The Big laptop might be a little bit heavy with all the books I have, so that would stay at home where my wife could use it when she’s tutoring kids in our home. Its nice big screen would come in handy for that.

  93. Hi! Thanks for hosting this giveaway!

    If I were to win this amazing prize, I’d give it to my husband. He is using an OLD machine and could really use a new one. He works, goes to school and takes care of things at home … I think he deserves something new.

    I’ve completed steps 1-4. Thanks, again!

    Well for one thing, I wont be keeping this bundle for myself! I will give the HP dv6 to my elder brother because his old laptop conked off and he just has his office laptop to work on. Unfortunately it is completely locked down and he cannot do anything else except official work stuff. The HP Mini I will gift to my mom n dad (let them work out the sharing strategy!! :P ), my dad is a regular user of his PC thanks to his work, but my mom is fairly new to the world of computing and believe me, you should see her expression when she calls me up to tell me how she found this great lip-smacking recipe online, or how she finally managed to upload pics on Facebook!!

    Thanks Xavier & Notebooks.com for this wonderful chance! :D

  103. I’m a recent high school graduate and will be starting college, and being able to work fom more places than my desk at home is nearly a requirement. I also enjoy photography, and my current desktop is showing its age while running Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 – the UI lags a bit, and exports take quite a while.

    This would be a great win for me… the laptop that I have right now is ancient and the battery is shot… so I am tied to a plug at all times and my arm aches every time I have to lug it anywhere due to its overall weight.

    I like to win this prize pack for myself and my husband & my son.

    I have a computer right now, but my husband and son are dying to have one. My son will be in highschool (10th grade) so I beleive he could really benefit in having the little one and the hubby has a horribly old and not so good computer…I think he’d do great to have a better one.

    I’d definitely use it for blogging, research and homework for school and definitely emailing friends and PR companies!!!!

I can’t be bearing down on my back with an outdated 13 inch cumbersome laptop.

    I’m a student and my poor old laptop’s battery is dying and it’s breaking apart at the hinges. I can’t afford to replace it just now, so winning this would be wonderful.

    I bought a laptop about five years ago and paid a huge sum of money (for me) for it; it kicked the bucket less than 2 years later…the repair would’ve cost more than buying a new one.

    My desktop is in the basement of our house and I am a writer; I know my family misses me. Winning this bundle would do wonders for all four of us, because I wouldn’t have to go into hiding all the time, just to be on the computer!

    We do like to network what computers we do have sometimes. My brothers and I play games together sometimes. Winning means that this happens more easily and more often.

And then I can use the Mini to sync both computers up as backup system because if I am going away or out of town I would use the Mini and just for general online usage. One for school and one for entertainment and more in a more portable use.

    Using two the two laptops-for school and home- will be me stay organized even better I can use Syncable to link synchronize both. Communicating with family and friends, being able to be in the comfort of using my own new laptop is a blessing. And finally, having the backpack to safely carry everything in it with out having to worry getting everything damage.

    Well , last December my husband was laid off. Come February we had to make a very difficult choice. We ended up walking away from our home selling our cars and moving to another city so that my husband could go back to school full time. We have 2 children a 5 year old girl and a 14 month old boy. My husband is enrolled in a Computer Network Administrator course. He needs a computer as one of the supplies required. The money we had went to our move. I know that times have changed and computers are a requirement in most schools nowadays but what are people like us who dont have the money to just go out and buy one , who have a hard enough time trying to buy diapers and food, supposed to be able to buy one. I know that if he won it would go to good use in assisting him is finishing school and graduating next May.

    As a developer, a new notebook to program on would be great, and a netbook for demos on the go.

    I am a Reference Librarian in an urban library. This package would be made available for checkout by our patrons, many of whom cannot afford their own PC’s.

    Our PC’s are always busy with people doing job searches and writing resumes and cover letters. We always have a waiting list for access and cannot afford to buy any more machines at the same time the need keeps increasing.

    I work from home and my new job requires a computer with Vista. My husband is recovering from an emergency open heart surgery when one of his heart valves failed and I really need this job to pay the medical bills. My computer is old and does not have Vista so this would be so awesome. Thanks for the contest.

    I really need this laptop because my brother won’t let me use our PC because he’s so addicted with Aion online beta closed, so I’m going to tweet this contest and do the article writing. I’d probably win this laptop, yeeeeey!

    I want it because I like nice things and I would use them both every day for all my normal computery things.

  370. Michael Proto says:

    I’d use this bundle to write stories and blog on-the-go. Even using a 14″ laptop on-the-go is difficult these days, a 10″ would suit me just fine :)

    Plus, having a tiny netbook for those unlucky on-call days would be a huge bonus.

    As an engineering student, I would really take advantage of the capabilities of the dv6 to run mathematics and CAD software. The portable HP Mini would be useful in taking notes from class to class.

    Really, the entire package would be extremely useful, especially the syncing software. HP always makes a solid product, and I would be grateful to win this prize.

    I hope to win this amazing package, because I’m about to start school!

    I’d like to win it because is will be a new toy – I will use it as I travel about because my old laptop is retired and I need a new one

    I would like to win this bundle because I got a kid in college that could use this hardware. Therefore, if I win, he wins. Thank you for this opportunity.

  380. Rob says:

    I have no chance of winning, and my luck in these sorts of things are even worse. But it’s worth a try I suppose, heh.
