My entry in the Simplify My Life sweepstakes:
As you can see from the video above, I am in massive need of simplification! The bottom line is, with three kids, a husband, a work-from-home job, and not enough time, I'm always looking for ways to multitask, get more done, and streamline my life.
An HP Mini with Windows 7 would be a perfect addition to this crowded household! I could look up menus while the kids are doing their homework. I could correspond with friends and family we left behind in California when we moved to Massachusetts this summer. I could whip out the Christmas letter that goes with the cards that are still (!!) waiting to be mailed from last month. I could stay on top of my life, instead of letting my life get the better of me.
I like how portable the Mini is -- no excess, no bells and whistles, no unneeded extras. Just the tools I need to manage my hectic life. Because it's from HP, I know it's well made and dependable, qualities that are essential in today's budget-conscious world. And because it's preloaded with Windows 7, I can plug it in (or not!) and hit the ground running.
I would be thrilled to be one of HP's winners and offer some valuable kitchen countertop real estate to what is sure to become my new best friend - my HP Mini with Windows 7.
Watch Dara tell you what she does with her HP Mini (no, it's not waterproof!)
Make sure to leave a comment! You could win one of three HP Minis given out randomly to commenters!
A mini would definitely simplify my life because I wouldn’t have to lug around that big heavy laptop anymore!! And it would fit inside my handbag instead of being so conspicuous in a carry around laptop bag. And besides, you don’t always want to carry your laptop with you but leaving it in the car is a direct invitation to thieves to break in and steal it. Being able to carry it in my purse is a major advantage! Great giveaway!

Cute video, Lain! I'm not sure any gadget could help me... I am so beyond hope when it comes to organization! lol

Clever video! It might make you feel better to know that my cards didn't go out until January 8th. You're not alone!

Thanks for the chance to win- with two high schoolers, I can almost never get on the computer. I would love an HP Mini- my laptop is getting old, and it sure isn't portable. A screen a little larger than my iPhone would be awesome!!

It would be so convenient to have a Mini 110 for on-the-go computing, and this one is so pretty.
