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
