It was Christmas in August last week when HP sent me a gift card to try out the HP Official Store. I spent a couple hours looking at their laptops, LCD monitors and printers, but ended up choosing the HP Photosmart A826 Home Photo Center because I wanted to see how it would compare to the Epson PictureMate Dash that I had reviewed a couple years ago.
The Photosmart is a very cool little standalone printer that has a multi-card reader and a touch screen that can be used to customize your images before printing them. Look for a full review will be posted soon. I plan to use the rest of the gift card funds to purchase an HP Mini 110 Mi Edition Netbook to give away.
Would you like an HP gift card of your own? You’re in luck because HP wants to share the love with The Gadgeteer by generously offering a $250 gift card that one of you can win! It’s super easy…
To enter the contest to win a $250 HP gift card, go browse through the laptop section of HP’s site and then come back here and leave a comment to this post letting us know which HP laptop is your favorite. That’s all there is to it. I told you it was easy

I like the HP Pavilion dv6z Artist Edition 2 series but I would probably choose a more affordable model if I won this GC. My son’s 15th birthday is coming up and I have no idea what to get him that is within our budget. If I won this, I could afford to get him a laptop!
Thank you for the great giveaway!!

You know I would love, love this HP Gift Card! There are so many HP laptops that appeal to me and if I had to pick a favorite it is the HP HP TouchSmart tx2z series. The portability and versatility of this dream machine is state of the art and unlike any others out there in the marketplace.

I just bought a new netbook (HP110) and just finished building a new desktop. I would, therefor, have to get myself a new media server like the MediaSmart LX 195 to centralize storage in my house. Thanks for the contest!

I’ve got to say the HP Mini 110 Mi edition would be my choice. The Mini is super small, the perfect vacation laptop for storing pictures on while you’re away and it makes for a great little couch surfing machine. The benefit to buying the 110 Mi is that you can get 2GB of memory and up to 250GB of HDD … the Mini 110 XP edition only does up to a 32GB drive with 1GB of memory. Not sure why the configuration differences – but the 110 Mi is definitely the winner!
