My HP wishlist

It's now officially Fall, the time when people start planning their purchases for the new school year and the holidays. I'm sure that the first thing on the mind of most people all over the world is a laptop. With the huge publicity surrounding Windows 7, corporate and home users alike have been putting off their computing purchases until the OS’s release. I personally know of atleast 15 people who plan to trash their aging laptops and desktops and get brand new ones after Windows 7’s release. HP is one of the very few companies that have mastered the magic of balancing features with value. HP’s site is replete with laptops, desktops, accessories, peripheral devices and many other gadgets and gizmos, that promises to cater to everyone’s whim and fancy. Let me share with you some of the gadgets I’d love to be able to buy from HP.

The first thing that ran across my mind, when the words HP and wish list were uttered, was HP’s flagship Touch Smart series tablet. The HP Touch Smart tx2z tablet one of the popular tablet computers that has regularly updated touch drivers. Most of the gadget freaks reading this article might remember the beta touch drivers that came out in time for the Windows 7 Beta and RC releases. This tablet is equipped with a 12.1” multi touch screen that has some really impressive specs under the hood. The eye catching pattern on the lid and the palm rest looks great and is trendy. HP also has some really good additional options for the tx2z in the form of battery, processor, memory, HDD upgrades.

Now that I have a state of the art lappie, the next gadget on my radar is a printer. Most modern printers need not be chained to PCs; you have printers that interact with your device via Bluetooth and WiFi. So the ideal printer for me would be a color all-in-one PC with WiFi like the HP Photosmart Plus all in one printer. This color inkjet comes along with a 2.39 inch touch screen that makes printing, scanning and copying really simple.

Ideally my wishlist would never conclude but these are the top gadgets that caught my attention. I’m sure I’ve got you salivating with all the great products that HP has to offer. If you’re planning on getting something from the HP online store , here’s a great offer. For a limited time, HP’s offering a stackable coupon for $30 off on orders $150 or greater at the HP Home Store. The coupon code you need to use is SV2132. Valid through 10/31 or while supplies last. Restrictions and exclusions apply.

Hold on! That’s not where the good news ends. I’m pleased to announce that there will be a contest, where all you gotta do is to leave a comment on this post telling everyone what HP laptop you like. The winner gets a $100 gift card from HP. Please do read the contest rules.

I love that HP Mini. I need a mini so I can travel easier. I love the convenience of it.

While the mini is cute, I need something besides the coveted portability of internet access. I'd put the $100 toward the Compaq Presario CQ60Z series laptop and I'd add Microsoft Office and Photoshop to my package.
I don't own a laptop..I just have a Compaq Presario desktop. I teach a class for police dispatchers a few times each year and I always have to borrow a laptop to run my PowerPoint presentations. I also love watching movies on my desktop but my "home office" is in the dining room right next to the area where everyone usually watches tv; even my Bose headphones don't always drown out the television noise. I'd love to be able to grab my laptop and watch a movie right on my front porch.

I’ll probably get an HP Pavilion 12″ laptop. Small enough to carry around but big enough not to strain my eyes! Best of both worlds!

If I win I can be contacted @ zxxxt at yahoo dot com

I would use the gift card to purchase more RAM for my computer from HP Store, or put it toward an HP mini for my son.

I like the HP Pavilion dv2z (I love how light & thin it is!) with the HP Mini 110 (which is even lighter!) being a close second.
