Looks nice…. it’s not bad to have one more notebook apart from my macbook.

This HP would help me A LOT in my studies of architecture thanks to the great processor it has and the perfect size of the screen, I REALLY need a notebook but I don’t have the money to buy one. This new HP is awesome!

WOW!! Looks damn good. I’m thinks of buying a new laptop since last one month. Tired and sick of my dasktop PC.

@lmeenarl

would give me the freedom I need

Hi,
That computer would literally change my life! I am a graphic/web design student and illustrator graduating from Columbia College Chicago this coming spring. My only computer that I own is an ancient Toshiba laptop that couldn\’t even handle the adobe CS4 suite. And that was before it crashed 3 weeks ago!
I am paying my own way through college and there is no way I can afford another computer. Finals are coming up, I\’m graduating, trying to get an internship, and trying to manage freelance work; all while having to make my collective 4 hour commute to school, in order use the computer lab there.I love what I do, which is why I go to great lengths to still get everything done. This computer would be the best thing that could happen to me right now.Thanks for the opportunity, and keep creating!Bryan Heredia

A nice replacement of my old Acer laptop. I’m gonna use it wisely

I love what I do, which is why I go to great lengths to still get everything done. This computer would be the best thing that could happen to me right now.

There are many reasons I want to win this notebook and if i were happen to win it, that would be awesome and really surprising. The first and important reason is that I don’t have enough money to buy it myself because every time i try to save money, it ends up either going to house bills and school accessories and text books which don’t me wrong is more important than my design related needs, but i wish I would be able to save enough to buy it.

Thanks a lot for sharing this, its very good motivation and incentive to both pro and newbie designers… Really like the look and feel of this modal.

I’m a student majoring in product design. However, I do have have the ability to support the resources (softwares) since my laptop has been faulty and is breaking down. I can’t really afford another laptop. This could help me pursue my dream of being a satisfactory product designer in the coming future. I would really like to put my little works from paper onto screen, from 2D into 3D and more.

Congratulations in advance to whoever wins it! Good luck to everyone =D

As my initials are…
I need desperately a PC and must be a notebook.
Take care
P.C.

Looks nice…. it’s not bad to have one more notebook apart from my macbook.

PS: It’s my second entry here coz i forgot to add my twitter id earlier. Mods please delete my first entry.

Really power for my work, my creative design, my style.
i’m inter-being with HP Envy swings.

It would make me happy and i could start dooing some work at home, learn after effect, and get beter job.

Well. It would be better then my current low cost low performance Asus.

It would be nice to have a decent laptop for a change with high end hardware to work on. I think my productivity would go up by a mile.

Couldn’t come in a better moment guys! My Asus is at coma (now im at the office) and all my proyects are stopped and i’m obviously broken. Make my year guys! With this computer Yanko will have bunch of my projects to show, warranted!

i really like the design of this notebook n the power of it makes me wanting it more

This would be unbelievable as I’m going into grad school (architecture) and can’t pay for a new laptop. It has the horsepower to drive my design work but does it with style and portability. Mobile perfection.

This machine going to unleash the monster of functional design within me that will revolutionalise the everyday living in a better way.

There’s only way that could describe how I would use this laptop if I win. I would use it everyday to help me with my digital designs and to produce more artwork. It would be a freedom for me from a very limited laptop that couldn’t handle the advance programs these days.

How will the $1,800 HP Envy 15 Notebook will make a difference in my life?
My current laptop is over five years old and needs updating, using it can be like trying to make toast using the iron – it needs replacing!

I just came across this contest and thought I’d give it a try.

Winning this actually would make a significant difference in my life.

I am embarrassed to share why it will for reasons that will be obvious after reading my comment.

I am in Ohio and out of work, luckily my girlfriend makes just enough to keep her, myself and our daughter out of a shelter.  We have also been blessed with family that have given us couches and spare floor room after losing our house at the end of August.

It’s a rather long story.

I have several painful health problems (chronic kidney stones and diverticulosis) that has cost me jobs, good college grades and a home.

We were both in school when we learned that we would be having a baby.
So since my girlfriend was closer to her  degree, I dropped out of the physics program at the University of Toledo.

Without any degree I’ve been stuck in bad jobs.

We would rely on her loan returns to make ends meet as a $3500 injection of money every semester was enough to catch us up on bills while I worked 60-70 hours a week in minimum wage jobs.

She graduated December ’08 from Bowling Green State University with a BA in Psychology, which is a huge gain for our family.  I couldn’t be more proud of her.

Well, because I had dropped out of UToledo, when I tried to return, they required that I attend two semesters without federal aid (I WOULD get a free ride via grants)
before I would have my funds reinstated.  I do accept responsibility for my mistakes, but still feel it is extremely harsh of them when I want nothing more than to get an education and make a good life for my family.

Well, no school means no student loan refunds to make ends meet, and making it worse were my frequent trips to the ER (I am currently around $150,000 in debt from medical bills) that got me fired many times.

I started trying to do computer repairs on the side while looking for work as my girlfriend tried–unsuccessfully–to pick up hours at the restuarant she worked at.

Without the extra $3,500 every semester, we started getting behind more and more.

My girlfriend found a job working in a home for children with behavioral and developmental disabilities at $13/hr. But by then, it was too late.

Our housing related debt is currently:
Gas: $3,200
Electricity: $700
Water: $400
Rent: $1,500.

Well, needless to say, utilities got shut off for non-payment and we got evicted.

We basically have struggled from couch to couch and living room floor to living room floor with our 2yr-old daughter since August.

My grandmother had been renting a room in her two-bedroom home and the tenant moved out last Friday, that is when we moved in. God bless my angel of a grandmother… We are no longer homeless.

I did manage to get into a business school for Computer Networking; however, since they use a quarter style schedule, my return in October after books was only $190.
With no computer at the time (I had to sell mine to pay bills in July) I couldn’t do my school work as I feel I could have.  When I was at UToledo, I earned a 3.6 GPA majoring in Physics. At my current college, being homeless and without my own computer, I only pulled a 2.5 GPA

A big ray of light is that a former coworker had started an entertainment guide for the Toledo area(www.TheEntertainerPaper.com) and needed a designer.  He has been gracious enough to let me use his home PC until I can finally afford one of my own.

Winning this amazing laptop, I feel, would make a huge difference in my life because I could not only concentrate on my studies and get better grades, but it would also make it a million times easier to design the paper and help put food on the table for my family.

I do not want pity, and I am embarrassed by spouting my personal details to the entire world, but I will forgo any shame necessary if it means even just a little chance at making a better life for my family.

My girlfriend Andrea and my little girl Ava are the light in my world, and I want nothing more than to see them happy and safe.  My daughter deserves a stable life, she didn’t ask for my failures.

This laptop will make a huge impact if I am chosen as the winner.

Even if I am not chosen, I at least hope that people will look at these current hard economic times through understanding eyes and not judge and belittle others as I have been in the past several months. I have swallowed my pride more than I ever have.

My story is sincere and happening to people all over this country.  This laptop WILL help one of those if we win. (fingers crossed)

Good luck to all and thank you, Yanko, for the amazing opportunity.

Sincerely,
Simon Downey.      

This would be great to replace my ageing 6-year-old HP laptop because the backlight on the screen is dying! With this laptop I would be able to actually SEE what’s on the screen – Bluray, movies, internet, games…mmm. Plus I could carry the laptop around without risking an injury from heavy lifting!

i’m an upcoming industrial designer. this HP will be essential in the success of my career. the form and function of this machine is definitely a must for the programs i am to use.

Ahhh. The $1,800 HP Envy 15 Notebook would allow me to effectively take some online courses to help earn a degree faster. The job market here is terrible, and the best way to better my odds of finding a new, rewarding career is to get a degree. Married with 3 children and a full-time job at night, it’s been so hard to complete my degree. Thank you so much for this wonderful opportunity.

With new HP Envy 15 Notebook I will look thinner,my work lightest, and quad time easier than before…

This laptop would help me a lot because my computer recently burned out (video card) and I can’t afford to replace it and it’s not under warranty so I’m currently borrowing my friend’s computer. A lot of my life and work is done with a computer online so I need something steady to help me carry on. Thanks!

I’d be able to replace the computer I have that’s useless now because the video card fried and I can’t afford to fix. A lot of the work I do is freelance and online so I need it for my livelihood

I would be able to take notes at uni a lot easier, and when i become an it teacher i could use the laptop for my teaching.

I could really use this laptop because I am in college and all I have is an old junky dell, and I need to use software for my major (mechanical engineering) like AutoCAD which runs very slowly on this machine.

no more ashamed hiding my old fujitsu siemens when surfing at airports. no more cursing, when the screen goes down again. no more handling of 3 external drives for loadbalancing the limited disk space. finally something with the performance to use facebook. finally something to show off .

I’m a huge fan and massive tech lover, I’m fused 24/7 to my laptop and although my current one gives me a good work out having something as light and powerful as the HP Envy 15 would be incredible.

I’m a student so there is no way i will ever be able to afford a computer like this, but I love to create, I draw, animate, sketch and write… I have this abundance of creativity welling up inside of me but I feel constrained by the quality of technology I can afford, a 5 year old hand-me-down laptop just can’t cut it, I can barely run firefox let alone photoshop.

One day I want to be the kind of designer showcased on this fine website and I believe winning this laptop would be a huge first stepping stone towards that goal. I may not have a long back story, and I won’t write 2000 words to try to sway your opinion. My name is Kyle, I’m young but I would like to believe also genuine and want not only to help the world but to also make it beautiful.

Keep up the great work!

Would be great to have a new laptop since the last one I had overheated and the proc cracked. Been using my friends computer and hes getting fed up about me using. So, in short, I need it! Please!

I would love to have this because it would be such a wonderful tool to help me my pursuits of writing and photography, and as well. Right now I don’t have a portable means to do this and since I have Fibromyalgia and lower back problems, it would greatly enhance my ability to pursue my passions.

http://twitter.com/BlogandReviews

i sure could use this to start my own biz, but if that Simon Downey guy is real and i win this thing, i’d give it to him.

I don’t have notebook right now… and this one is definitely good design.

I’m a student in High School with huge interests in design. I live in a low-income family and don’t the resources to proceed with my dreams. I can’t afford a computer that can handle 3D CAD software. This could help me pursue my dreams. I would love to take my work from paper to digital. Thank you for this opportunity.

My tweet: http://twitter.com/JrZilla/status/5885171891

This would help me a lot as I am a student and sadly, a few weeks ago my house was broken into and they stole my laptop, which wasn’t covered by my insurance and I can’t afford another one. Now I have to walk 45 mins into campus to get the use of a computer. The crime number is NL07267096. This laptop would make a serious difference to my life and would hopefully enable me to get a 2.1 in my degree. Need some good luck at the moment.

This would make a difference in my life because I would give it to my niece in tech school who needs it and it would make me feel so happy. I’m so proud of her and my daughter for going back to school!
Don’t get me wrong. I would love to have it too but I really like a desktop and she needs a laptop. And wow this is a very nice prize. Thanks!

It’s gonna be a great Christmas present for my girlfriend

Yanko Design,

I’d beable to be much more productive than I am at the moment as the laptop would allow me to work efficiently on the long 1.5 hour bus trips I have to and fro uni. A pity that all the other commuters stare at my 7″ netbook with those judgemental eyes

A great thing to let me compute in style. I’ll like to have one.

My current hp laptop is LITERALLY a hinge away from total destruction. It still works, but only if your definition of working is turning on and barely lasting 30 minutes on the power saver option. As an art and urban studies major, it would be awesome to have a computer that will last me through more than half a lecture, at the same time providing a powerful running interface for my personal needs. Even with my HP crisis, I still am a loyal PC lover and a big supporter for HP products. So, please choose me for your Envy give away!

After over 3 years of apple not doing anything new with its OS (it is practiaclly unchanged since its initial release, apart from minor tweaks) I think that Windows is taking the lead in interface design. Now HP has reached the Apple industrial design level, I really want to switch back to the PC platform in its best reincarnation. Apple needs the healthy competition and it is coming fast…

I´m a designer and my notebook is not that fast. This notebook could help me do my work more fast.
First step to good work is good equipment.

and beyond that: it is really sexy.it would suit me well

http://twitter.com/claudi_rockt

I love it and I want one

http://twitter.com/mustafaquilon/status/5885763270

Hi I would like to own one because being an MBA it will be a great tool to help me make good presentations and deliver the best.

像苹果= =

If I were Jesus, I could multiply it and give it to the millions of people who do not have a computer. Or who do not have a computer as sexy and powerful as this one.

If I were the Blessed Virgin Mary, I could tweet the birth of my child to the whole world so that everyone saw Jesus as soon as he was born.

If I were God, I could have simulated the creation of the world and thus avoid a couple of misfunctions…

But because I’m none of these holy people, I’d rather use this highgly desired notebook to make the movies I’ve been dreaming of for many years and that my 5-year-old computer does not let me doing at all. And I’ll change the world with these movies because apart from being a bit idealistic, I’m also a lucky movie-maker.

I am designer engineer … this HP can be very useful tool for designing new products and it can be able to let the ideas come out and take form in reality … New ideas and new products will be on service for everyone. I will be more efficient for engineering life . At the end , everyone will be happy by working on this HP

Kindest regards .

it would be very nice to own that HP

Not bad for a PC, they’re really stepping up their game with things like the Adamo and this Envy. Nice work!

I believe it’s culturally much harder to do this than it is technically. I wonder how they’re changing to push for design like this?

I totally want to win this HP laptop because it will help me develop my work. I am an architect+designer and i NEED a computer such as this one with all its capacity.
I have to work with 3d programs that demand a computer with a lot of RAM, processor, screen, battery and more.
I always trust HP, by the way i have one now but it is old and i need more capacity to keep up designing.
So please Yanko i wanna win this contest!!!! thanks

If I were to win this truly generous contest and find myself tweeting Yanko’s accolades in Envied style upon the keypad of this HP beauty, who knows what the implications could be?

It’s the butterfly effect. It could lead to love or to fortune and would be sure to bring lots of Envy. Perhaps the UPS lady and I meet over the delivery and we end up having children together. One of the children discovers the secret to stop aging, another creates a system of stability for the global economy, and yet another invents a device to neutralize carbon emissions……..who knows?

One thing for sure, if I don’t win the UPS lady and I will never meet and the world may meet an untimely end. Please for the sake of humanity, for your mothers and your fathers, your little brothers and sisters, for all that you hold dear, help me to win!

how the The $1,800 HP Envy 15 Notebook will make a difference in my life?

Is simply, I need a notebook, HP is a good company, the notebook have LED display, is the latest technology and….I am a freak girl that loves technology, why I can´t get it? Please, take me a Notebook an you can be sure that you will have a god publicist of your product in Spain.

Pleeeeease!!!!

Thanks! @cheerful85

Interesting marketing strategy.

This is probably the first time Envy leads to Passion, Desire and Thankfulness! It’d be great to have those emotions caused by Envy!

This HP Envy 15 Notebook will make a difference in my life for it will help me in getting my diploma. And as a chain reaction, getting my diploma will affect my entire future.

im a product designer student and this computer would make all the change for me as i only have access to the computer in school. having this would mean i could delve deeper into solid works and render progs 24/7.
Thanks!

24 year old architecture laptopless student in the search of life’s meaning. This will truly help in my quest because of the 4 cores and stuff.

It will be perfect for photography & movie making

http://twitter.com/olivier_m/status/5888056755

The HP Envy 15 notebook will give me the opportunity to experience the full awesomeness of Windows 7…

For sure this HP Envy Notebook will make a difference in my life as I´ve never had a laptop! Will be my first personal computer and will change my life in many ways.

As I´m a graphic designer I could take work everywhere and will help me developeing it!

Also will give me more space at my home! I live in a tiny apartment, and having a laptop insted a traditional pc will give me more free space, making my life more comfortable.

Another reason is that I live in South America, Uruguay, and here new technology would take a lot of time in arriving, beeing so expencive I couldn´t afford it for sure.

So having an HP Envy notebook will make more easy my life, help me at work, and also will transform me in an envy objective, jejeje.

If I won the HP Envy 15 Notebook, it would definitely change my life. I would finally be able to get some work done. I wouldn’t keep having to go home (which is and hour away from school) to my desktop to work on my architecture assignments since my current laptop as I found as the semester has gone by can’t handle the rendering (it either freezes of shuts down). Secondly I can finally be one of the cool kids in the school lol.

The new HP Envy is out of this world from what I have seen from the HP website. Not only is this thing a performer, it looks fantastic. As a designer I can say that they really put a lot of thought and time into the development of the Envy.

The battery life alone would be a huge help for me. No more worries about me outlasting the battery in a days time. As a designer running multiple CAD packages, and graphics too. I did notice when I was specifying a system on HP’s website that Corel graphics were bundled with it. I love this fact because Corel was what i learned in college, and I have always struggles with Adobe.

If I won a new HP Envy I could sell my Dell Vostro and put the money toward getting my fist seat of Solidworks.

I know HP and Solidworks are synonymous . I would be curious of what Solidworks thinks of the new HP Envy.

This Envy laptop would really change my life. I could start my own webdev business and develop while I’m travelling. It would also be great for design ing in Photoshop! I’ve never had a laptop and this one looks awesome and has the potential!

Thanks!

i just need some freedom and tecnology.

i just need some freedom and tecnology.

Ok, No crappy reasons like i have no money or i’m looking for buying new lappy…Nothing like that… coz i do have money and i’m obviously not looking for buying a new one.

It’s just this notebook looks good and handy with my web design work. Also, there is a 1feet x 1feet empty space available on my workstation

Nice giveaway guys. Best of luck to everyone and three cheers for YankoD.

I´m designer, and with this DesignNoteBook I don´t need to tell nothing more…

Whenever I do debugging for Windows browsers I need to work off a teeny weeny netbook. This would make things a lot easier!

never having a laptop as an Architect is pretty embarrassing, especially when you’re working on your final graduation project. my desktop pc is 7 years old, so this kind of laptop would be a lifesaver. and it also matches my eyes

I am a medical student and this laptop is going to change my life avoiding the growth of unestethical muscles growing by the weightof the incredibles books i have to carry every day,protecting my social life from being ruined by a masculine shape ( i’m a girly girl) I may cure cancer with such a genius device ¬ ¬)

apple did it 10 year before? haha.. why hp

I would love this for my daughter who is graduating in May 2010 and then heading to grad school. Her current laptop is “well-loved” and this would help her immensely as well as making her the Envy of all!

I will get rid of my clunky old Compaq! This Envy is a great machine!

Great contest – hope it’s open to fellow Canucks! The way this laptop will make a difference in my life is that I do a fair amount of web design and video editing for non-profits (churches, youth camps), and I can’t take it with me to show them at meetings, since my present portable is a netbook. Having a laptop such as the HP Envy 15 would allow me to take video editing, in particular, on the road, so as to better show the people I’m working with the progress of their project. Thanks for the opportunity!

I would love it, cos I am contemplating on which laptop to buy.

HP Envy 15 Notebook – the advanced technology notebook which can be an inspiration of my life in future..
Its inspire me in the meaning of leadership. HP Envy 15 Notebook is considered as a leader in new high-tech notebook compare to other company.
So, I my future, I would like to be the first among the equiality.
Thinnest = efficient
Improved laptop performance = effective

This would make a difference in my life because I could use this instead of my slow desktop. I could get more done and be mobile while doing it.

Following on Twitter (tlcfromtn) and tweeted

It would really boost my computing prowess. So I wouldn’t be envious of none.

This would be an amazing tool to have. Currently I hate using my outdated laptop to do photos and virtual tours for properties that my mom lists. My current desktop is a HP and I’ve had others and know it’s a good company that makes a good product. I can’t sit at the desktop very long anymore so the laptop would be perfect.

This laptop would really help me out with work and school. I am a networking major. My laptop crashes and I really need a reliable computer. I also use my laptop to help with managing my diabetes, and it gets frustrating when I can’t get my laptop working correctly so that I can use my diabetes management software effectively. I just moved so I really don’t have the additional funds for a new laptop. This would really help me.

The ultimate in powerful mobility

This powerful laptop would really be helpful when doing 3d renders. Since i’m not paid to wait for the engine to process, having an extra workstation would permit great multitasking possibilities for me. And it’s sexy too!

It will absolutely change my life! This laptop will allow me to start to work and earn for my family. I can earn on operation for my daughter. It is very necessary to us. Thanks for such possibility!

With the HP Envy I would be able to send tweets from home again. (My last HP laptop went boom last week).

This laptop will allow me to start to work and earn for my family. I can earn on operation for my daughter. It is very necessary to us. Thanks for such possibility!

i’d be very excited to have such notebook. i study architecture, i’m having a diploma this summer so i will be smashing my computer over and over and over again mixing 3d-project with 2d-graphics including rendering and maybe creating some animations.

moreover i’m planning not to stop after i graduate – i dream about my own graphic design studio.

so. never won anything, but “you don’t play = you can’t win”

greets!

In life, you need the WOW! factor. Your web designs, graphics, layouts, writings, gaming, music, work, basically in all that you do. So it will be WOW!, I’ve won the HP Envy 15 Notebook, Thanks to Yanko Design. WOW!!! Hey, somebody gotta win it, why not me?

My wife and I only have 1 good computer. Having this computer would allow us to work better as a team on design projects. She could do the video stuff and I would do the graphics. We need a powerful computer to be able to handle such programs.
Plus I love HP!

Envy 15 Notebook would help me to become ruler of the known free world, Pinky! MMMUUUAAHHHHHUUUAAHHH!

hi.
this notebook would really mean a change in my life as an industrial design student, since the almost ancient computer i’ve got goes crazy when rendering and running heavy programs.

Je suis un jeune étudiant designer français. I am a young french designer (co-designer of the Radio for treehuggers or radio-log) and I am a communist.

I’m trying to develop social design and I know that the communists are not welcome in the Western countries like the USA. But I truly and deeply believe people can change things. I don’t believe in any kind of god but I do believe in mankind. I believe we can change things and make a better world. I won’t say that this computer will change my life, but it will allow me to be more efficient on designing objects.

Anyway, we can, if we work all together, improve every body’s life and THAT should be the goal of everyone who cares for others.

Yanko, please keep publishing the work we do, us, designers, creatives, because we can all change things.

Thank you.

How will the HP Envy 15 make a difference in my life? I own a Dell at the moment, need I say more?

The HP Envy 15 will change my life because it will allow me to keep working when it’s becoming increasingly difficult since my computer is so old it’s about to die.

Well, I don’t have a super ancient computer or am barely surviving on my own merits but I do have a desktop. It’s a basic HP office class computer that cost me $200 as my previous laptop crapped out on me.

This laptop just means I’ll be able to be more mobile and I can be more productive during my trips to Barnes & Noble.

Help out an awesome graphic designer! I reblog a good amount of things I see on YD to try and spread the word about this great blog so you’d really be helping yourself. =D Ahaha!

I recently relocated and ended up selling all but one of my computer (MacBook Pro). Although I am an Apple Consultant, I do have quite a few clients with Windows machines so having a Windows machine is a huge benefit. Between start-up business costs and buying a house I will not be able to buy a “good” Windows machine for a while.

So basically, winning the HP Envy would help my business, which would be awesome!

Envy’s were from Voodoo PC and meant to be high end laptops for their design, like really expensive but really cool designs and branded. Now they’re HP, somehow I feel the premium brand is gone when you brand it under HP. Not to mention the color and tatoo choices you could get. Oh well just go get a cheaper laptop from a cheaper retailer, brand is just brand .

http://twitter.com/borhani32

HP Envy 15 Notebook will be great value add on due to its differentiating innovative, creative and style features.

The HP Envy would be wonderful inmy life. It would mean not having to share with my teen son for computer time. Being able to do my work uninterrupted by a nagging teen would be fantastic.

I guess a lot of people want this computron then, huh?

my computer is not capable of running 3D software and lag horribly when im jsut using photoshop, the screen has a dull color
haveing a new HP Envy would be brilliant solution to all these computing problems~!!

Winning this would make me the “Envy” of my friends, currently I am the laughing stock with my unreliable Acer machine! I would not be afraid to take it out in public.

Currently I don’t have a usable laptop and having the HP Envy would be incredibly useful for me as I am taking classes to study in the field of Computer Science. I would be able to study and work on my projects literally anywhere I go, whether it be at home, work or the local coffee shop.

Plus I’m a super duper tech geek and just owning this laptop would be AWESOME!

This laptop is gorgeous! I love the sleek aluminum and alloy case, and the frameless screen which gives the design an even sleeker look. I also like that the display is hi-def, and that the laptop is thin and easy for travel. The design is very modern and stylish, and this is definitely the laptop of the future. A new laptop is #1 on my Wishlist this holiday, so I would love to win this! I just started my own at-home business, so a brand new laptop that offers fast speed, and also that has such a good battery life (the Envy has a 16.25 hour battery life) would make my entire year!

It’s simple, Moore’s Law: Tecnology doubles its capacity and speed each 18 months. Mi PC have this age-old and I need retire them

It’ simple as Moore’s Law: The technology doubles its capacity and speed every 18 months. My hardware have age-old and retire it is necessary for the sake of balance in the universe.

The HP Envy 15 will be able to make a difference in my life because it’s all I need at this moment,
for my study at the university next year,
for my freedom from the room where I am now ,
for express myself to the world from a quickly and easy way,
for see the future in HD
for feel the internet in other level, for feel the computer in other level.

This notebook is the portability future in our hands, we must take advantage

My current laptop is too heavy 17 and it is just 2 core, i was thinking buy one of this, so it would be nice to have one free…

This laptop might just save my sanity. My current tablet PC had been on and off life support for quite some time, and while my tech-saavy brother was finally working on it to restore it to full health, his son knocked a full 16 oz. cup of coffee into it. Yes, ‘into’ it. Reports were that sparks flew–various zip-zap noises were heard as well. So, sad to say, its life has finally ended… and I miss my mobility dearly.

As a young architect who had been unemployed till this week I need a powerful and beautiful instrument to work on. My old computer is literally dying when I try working with some more complicated 3D models, and I feel like I’m held back, not being able to create the things I have imagined.
The HP Envy would surely make a huge difference!

I am a Cinematographer, Indy Filmmaker, and editor. This notebook with its 16GB of memory, processor speed, and great graphics would make this a serious contender for running After Effects on a notebook instead of my desktop system

This would make a big difference in my life as I don’t have a laptop so i am never mobile With three kids now (just delivered one this month) this would make life so much easier. I love being online but with my current situation that may change.

What a fantastic laptop! This would be wonderful for my son who’s in college majoring in engineering. His computer is getting old, and this one looks super! Thanks for the chance.

My current laptop is getting slower and slower everyday The HP Envy will help me tremendously with my ongoing job search.

as an industrial design student, we need technology to help further our designs and this laptop would make my designs soar! i have to use programs like cs4 collection, solid works, rhino, and 3ds max and my current computer cant handle all of that information. i literally have to have 2 external hard drives to store my information so that my computer does not freeze up. i have stayed up for 18 hours straight working for my computer to freeze up and lose all the information i had been working on and all that effort went for nothing. this computer would be a blessing for me. i thank you for the opportunity yanko.

Great give away..This would be perfect when I go and visit my clients. All I have to do is to put it in my bag and can show them live the new designs.

I am a freshman in college and I starting my life right now from nothing…I could barely afford to pay for rent…I have to spend hours in library to do my school work, since i cant afford anything at this point…This laptop would definitely change my learning experince…

This would be a huge help with my server administration and designing uses. I love YD, awesome giveaway.

it will help me to render faster my furniture designes!

My last computer was an HP desktop which got me through several years of design school. I just recently bought the HP mini to use just for internet and on the go emails and the such. I wouldn’t say that I am brainwashed by HP, but it just so happens that whenever I am in the market to buy a new computer, HP seems to deliver the best value in terms of price and value. I loved my desktop, but I think its about time to retire it and get a new work horse!

Here’s my twitter:

I recently relocated to South Kora to teach English in the poorest school district in the poorest county in the country. My laptop broke a hinge and a corner almost as soon as I got here which has made it really difficult to use and darn near impossible to even get repaired here. I was hoping to make enough money to buy a new one in the Spring but winning this sleek new model would be even better. I an hoping to start work on a graduate degree in educational media design

I live my life on the computer as its my job and literally my life. Its where I met my husband, where I work, where I go to school, where I hang out with friends, where I keep in contact with my family and friends, where I learn everything. As a graphic design student and an admittedly pretty big gamer, I need a computer that can handle the power. My computer, which I only bought last year, has died on me and has come back to life, but with much less power to run the programs I need. Along with those things, I’m a composer and need to run BIG programs such as ProTools and Finale and other software that I have yet to acquire. If Yanko Designs is giving away this beast of a computer, I’ll gladly stick my neck out to win it. Its a necessity. Thank you Yanko Designs for the opportunity!

I have been an advid follower of yanko design for awhile now and this contest could really change the way a lot of people learn and work. So thank you for giving us all a shot at this useful tool.

I am currently a freshman Industrial Design student at the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design. I have been with out a computer for some time now. If I had my own laptop this powerful this would really help me in my Cad and design courses. Allowing me the mobility and technical advantage a computer like this would give me, instead of having to use the limited amount of computers that our school has which can actually run such design programs. Not worrying if I will be able to find a computer availble to finish my homework on time and the ability to work on homework while not at the school would greatly improve my grades and lower my overall stresslevels and allow me to get more sleep. This would also solve my probelm of finding a way to purchase a computer that is powerful enough for my next semester courses.

I have to win this HP to kill my partner of envy.

The $ 1,800 HP Envy Notebook 15 will be amazing both to improve my designer activity and the quality of my design projects! I currently work using a notebook really bad, really slow, because my apartment is too small to keep a desktop and here in Brazil is very expensive to buy a notebook as good as this. Meanwhile I will continue trying to create something really cool for a day I have the pride of having my work published in YD. Thanks guys! And sorry for bad english writing.

Would be amazing the possibility of join the information revolution, everytime i need and everywhere i go using HP Envy 15.

It will help me to work and study faster.

This computer would change my whole world! I have been struggling with my current laptop, it being the only computer I have. My computer is beyond old, and only getting farther and farther from being able to do the things I need it to do. I’m currently a graphic design student at vTSTC, our whole course is literally within the virtual world of SecondLife. SecondLife alone puts a great strain on this old Toshiba laptop, but when coupled with needing to also run programs like the Adobe CS3 or even GIMP,this computer falls short, and literally crashes when having just one of those programs open at a time, let along one alongside SecondLife. Just running one of these programs however also has other effects on my laptop that I fear may also soon end it’s life. While running any of these types of programs my laptop overheats, dramatically so. On one such occasion I happened to be working on homework, and the laptop overheated, before I realized that it had already left a burn on my thigh, the mark of which still remains.

Beyond what I’ve already said of my current laptop, it also falls short in looks. Now I’m not one to worry too much about the design of a laptop, or the colour, but when it comes to being professional one needs to take these types of things into consideration. I don’t feel comfortable taking my current laptop out of the house at this point, from the years of use it literally falling apart, I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve moved it only to find a piece of plastic left on the table, or in my lap.This new laptop would be perfect for meeting with clients and for going into meetings with potential employers/networking with high end businesses. When compared to the former shell of a laptop my current computer is, this new one would be life changing.
So I hope you’ll consider all I’ve said, and give this struggling graphic design student the tools he needs to get his career started.

I’d love a laptop like this, Getting a graphics tablet soon and this would be an awesome laptop to use it on.

Nice giveaway.

At home we all share a 3 year old imac that is getting as slow as hell. It will make a big difference in my life because I could finally have my own machine…kids free!

Though my current laptop is only a little over 2 years old, there are spots around the case where the plastic is already flaking. In addition to the excellent speed, form factor, and weight of this unit, I’m most looking forward to the durable metal case for my commute to school and between classes.

I’m currently studying Industrial Design at CSULB, and it’s kind inconvenient to switch back and forth between mac and windows on my 3-year-old MBP. If I get this laptop, it will help me so much on my academic achievement, I can do better renderings and have better grades! And the more practices I have, the better my skills become, and the more amazing my design will be! This will benefit all the people on Earth!!

This HP Evny would make a huge difference in my life! The computer that I am currently on is over 10 years old and the last update it has had is Windows 2000. Almost every time I get on it says “virtual memory low” even though I have deleted mostly everything on the computer. It will close out on me at any given moment. That is especially annoying when typing things like this or emails and I have to start all over again. I can’t watch videos, I can’t listen to audio. It would just be so nice to be able to have a regular “computer life” again. Please help me and allow me to experience the technology of luxury with the HP Evny! Thanks for the chance!

I do own only big PC at home. So this notebook would probably make my life easier when i need to travel abroad or to any conference in my country. thanks.

I would LOVE to win this! No longer would I be chained to my computer desk… I could go anywhere with it!! What an amazing giveaway!
Thank you for the chance

I’ve been waiting for this laptop for like a year. It couldn’t have come at a better time. My current HP Pavilion zt3000 is on it’s last legs. Survived spills, chills, and drops in its 5 year span! I lost my job in 2008 and I am STILL looking! If I won this it would be nothing short of a miracle. The ENVY is EXACTLY what I need to get started on more intensive design apps and increase my overall productivity, and – most importantly – get me through design school next year.

Want to create rocking videos man ! What else !?

This HP Envy would make a huge difference in my life. I have envied this one for a long time and waited for its release. Times are tough and I can’t afford a new laptop though my old one is sick and sputtering.

I love to travel and love travel blogging. This would be the perfect companion as it’s so sleek, so slim, so elegant. I love the styling and the keyboard design.

I often take my laptop wherever I go and this would provide the perfect fit for work or for play!

I would envy myself if I won! I need some white lightning speeds to match my thoughts!

I would take so much advantage of new laptop. I’m a graphic design student just trying to get my name out there.

My aging desktop is getting slow for graphic design and this would help get more done! thank you!

This Computer would help me out so much since I have a dinosaur and need a replacement bad! I would use it for just about everything!

winning a HP can help me save a lot of $ and now i can consider purchasing a dSLR and start working on developing my photography skills

I hope to travel to Japan and teach English for a year in 2010. As I don’t have a laptop at the moment, the envy will be great for skyping the family back home. Whilst in Japan I hope to explore with my camera in hand so having a laptop which is more then capable of running Adobe Lightroom would be incredibly handy.

well… A beauty like this would truly be a cornerstone in my design/marketing/blogging career! Young people could not usually afford expensive gear like this wonderful machine!

Stay Positive,

M. Velchevski

Way better than the desktop I’m using right now. Plus with a laptop I could surf the net ANYWHERE not just my office.

Would definitely make a difference. I could have it in the kitchen while cooking. Or take it with me elsewhere. All I have (& have ever had) is a desktop.

Thought of something else. I’m ALWAYS writing notes down or taking a note book with me to doctors, dentists, and school appointments. Would be so much easier to type in, save, and bring along.

I feel so limited with my low memory traditional desktop computer. Even though I am retired, I would still like to have the portability of an awesome laptop like this one.

I like to share videos and pictures, but it bogs down my desktop so much that I often give up before I get it all done. I also notice that I don’t get good quality on live streams, so I rarely click on anything because the choppy picture/sound makes it so not worth the effort.

Thanks for the awesome giveaway opportunity!

I don’t even have a laptop right now. A laptop like this would change my life completely. Imagine running on one battery from SFO to Miami international. My boss would be so proud of all the work I could get done. Ohhhhh… I am so excited just thinking about it.

I’m chained to my desktop. The HP Envy 15 Notebook would give me the freedom to move outdoors–travel the world.

@caseyscupcake on twitter

It would make a huge difference in my life since my laptop is busted! Certain keys dont work *including the apostrophe.. i.e. dont. LOL

My ex slammed the laptop on the floor, and it has never been the same since… i swear it gets worse each and every day.

A NEW laptop would be awesome!!

As a freelance writer, this HP Envy 15 Notebook would give me more freedom and allow me to stay in contact with clients even when I am on the go. No more missed deadlines or missed opportunities.

I need a new laptop so bad. My other one is dying so this would be perfect. I hate not having the freedom to move around anymore.

No real reason, just ENVY…

hi!
This hp envy would simply bring back that little fellow that i miss so much that we are almost strange now.. the smile i mean,
thanks for the opportunity.

This laptop would make a huge difference in my life. Right now I have a laptop but it has so many problems that its not worth using. I need a working laptop for school to take notes on. I have dysgraphia so taking notes on a computer is the only way that i know of to keep them readable. The laptop i have now dose not work unless its plugged in. The battery dose not hold a charge, so i have to pray that my classes have plugs close by so i can use it. Half of my classes now do not have a plug in them so my laptop is pointless to take. The other problem my laptop has now is that it gets the blue screen of death at least once every 3 weeks or so. Thank you so much for the chance to win it. It would change my life fore the better. Thank you

Well, a fancy computer like this could help me in my grand schemes and designs. I want to build things, and this would help me do that.

The Hp Envy would make a difference in my life the way high-speed internet service changed dial-up, the way HDTV changed digital TV, and by the way Digital TV changed Analog tv.

Once you experience the Envy there’s no going back.

Well, with a computer like this could help me and my schemes and designs. I would love to harness the power this brings to the table and put it to work!

it would a lovly, christmas present for my mum.

porque me ayudaría a trabajar mejor y más rapido!!

This Envy would make my life easier while on the run.

It would change my life because it’s a great, powerful fast computer and it would make networking easier.

@ContestEnterer

Winning the HP Envy would be a great thing for our small business. We don’t currently have a laptop, we depend on the PC I am using now. My husband is a carpenter, and I type up all of his estimates, do all his photos of jobs, do billing and alot of other things that something portable would be much easier to manage. It would be fantastic instead of writing everything longhand and then coming home, to be able to type notes up, do the pics on site, and present estimates to customers right when they are there. It would look alot more professional (even considering we have been in business 20 years)to come into the age of instant info with a bang with the HP Envy. Thanks so much for the chance!

thanks in advance!

This laptop actually wouldn’t be for me, I have a close family friend who has been following up with the updates on this model for the longest time. But he can’t really afford this, I will be giving this to him as a Christmas present if I win it.

The $1,800 HP Envy 15 Notebook would make a difference in my life because my current Acer is on it’s last legs. It completely quit earlier tonight and I was lost and forlorn without my interwebz.

I do a lot of work on the road at different clients businesses. The laptop I have now my sister gave me after she bought a new one and it is very slow. It is very embarrassing when I am trying to show my clients something on my laptop and it takes forever to load. This laptop would be perfect because it is light weight and would be much faster thasn the one I have now

This notebook : HP ENVY 15 has always been a dream laptop since its release ! It’s not a want , but a need for me because it is light and aluminium stylish which allows me to look and present professional in all occasions !

I currently own HP Pavilion dv4 but the design isn’t that great as HP ENVY 15 !

In addition, HP Pavilion dv4 has long battery life,hard and solid that resists any obstacles and damage which is necessary for uses like me !

I am a blogger and a designer who requires long hours on the computer so it is a MUST ofr superb crystal clear sound and LCD luminance to wow my friends and use it in the dark !

Really hope that I can win this AMAZING LAPTOP that i always needed and a brand new laptop to celebrate the festive season !

Merry Xmas in advance ! =D

I´m an architect, i used to design in my desktop computer my 3d renderings, having a laptop of this kind of power will let me be able to work anywhere and i won’t even need a desktop computer with this kind of supernatural computer.

So, i’ll definetly improve in my career

This Laptop would REALLY make a difference in my life since my previous Laptop croaked I am forced to use my Desktop which is in the basement and I hate running downstairs whenever need to jump on the Internet> Hopefully November 23 will be my luck day….
Happy Holidays and thanks for the opportunity.

The Envoy would make a huge impact on even the way i live. I have never owned any laptop of any kind and this would be a new experience for me. I would love the visuals on the HP to use in creative designs to make things to sell. I would use it to blog about my designs. I would use it for videos for a blog. All in all the Envy would change my life!

Going back for my MBA and starting a new job and would love something like this to help me do my research and assignments while looking good.

Incredible giveaway! Marvelous!

It would help make my life so much easier by being able to be do my school work and blogging from different places. My laptop died about a month ago and I miss being mobile!!

This laptop will make a huge difference in my life. I am a single mom of a young child & I will be attending nursing school next semester. This is a career change for me. It’s going to be very challenging for the next 2 years & not being able to work means I will have to struggle financially but it will all be worth it, I would love to own a high quality computer to help me get through school

So excited to see you are in Vancouver; I’m on the Island!

This wouldn’t make a difference for me, but it would make a humungouso difference for my 18yr old daughter.

She left school during grade 10and has been working in retail (ugh) She had a car accident in June and ended up with a soft tissue injury and stitches on her knee. She just went back to work on Tuesday but on Wednesday before work actually went to Camosun and registered for full time classes!!

I’m over the moon thrilled that she’s realized she needs to go back to school!

This would help her immensely and would be such a positive start for her on her journey back!

Thanks

I don’t have a notebook, or even a computer of my own (I use my daughter’s from time to time). So to be able to learn how to do more computer-related things for myself (I’m a bit new to this computer stuff) and to be able to use it whenever/wherever I want would be amazing! I know that HP is a great brand, and the portability of a notebook would be perfect for me.

Winning this computer will make a huge difference in my life. Currently, I am a poor college student. I can’t afford to buy a computer now, so I have to use the computers in the library. Having my own would be great, so I could be home more.

How will this $1,800 HP Envy 15 Notebook make a difference in my life? Well, for starters, I won’t have to use a computer near an electrical outlet ALL the time. I won’t have to spend three hours waiting for the internet or youtube video to upload. And I’ll be able to check my online accounts (email, social, bank) faster and more efficiently!

Go ahead make my day and surprise me. This won’t change my life, it won’t make my friends envious (I am not into showing off) nor will it assist me to do anything that I am not already doing. But I’ll use it forever, to sharpen my SolidWork skills and complete designs that much faster.

This laptop would change the way I work. With their power, I could do more hard stuff on the go. From photoshop with the resolution of 20K pixel, rendering more 3D works to encoding, hashing
combining portability and the great power , it will be the perfect match to my other hp voodoo machine

This computer would help me a lot more than you know. My name is Alex Rangel and I am currently a student at a continuation high school in Fresno CA called Pershing High School. If you know what a continuation school is than you know that they do not always have the best reputation for fostering the brightest kids. I am 18 and still 58 credits away from graduating high school. I have gone through a sort of rough patch in high school, as generally every person who has ever gone to high school has and I don’t expect you to beilieve that my case is any different or special from yours or any person’s for that matter but to please bare the story of a twelvth grade nobody. I started going to school, living in my father’s home after situations between my mother and I hit an extreme. Things happened between us that can never be forgotten or taken back.

I was only permitted to go to school once a week, those were the rules at my first continuation school C.L.A.S.S and my father, being the old fashioned father that he is decided that I shouldn’t be staying home when there is a perfectly good job in the fields waiting for me. I disagreed with his logic but I didn’t argue with him. Every day I woke up at six o’clock, got dressed, and prepared myself for a hard days work. This went on for three months and finally I had saved up enough money to buy my own laptop, with enough left over to get a 360, wich would have been my first next gen console. I went to Circuit City as they were closing shops down and bought an hp G60. It was the first computer I could call my own.

I used my computer to video call my oldest brother who’s wife serves in the Air force and is stationed in Mississipi. Not only is it hard enough to stay connected because of the time difference but they are both always working and whatever time I get to talk to and see him is precious to me. If I had this computer video calling them would never be a problem and maybe if I got it in time I could use it for Christmas because unfortunatley they are not able to visit this year and I would love to see them christmas eve and morning to send a marry Christmas and to remind them that they have family who loves them very much and is proud of the sacrifice they are making for their country.

I now go to a Pershing High School as I mentioned before and I am usually on a computer most of my day considering my school lets out at 12:45 and I have about eight hours to kill when I get home. For the time I am not on hulu watching full metal alchemist or heroes and not looking up the yanko design and engadget forums I am doing school work that is usually worth a credit, writing reports on world war two and Hitler’s rule over Germany. The speed of this computer would help me immensly and I would be able send my emails straight to my teacher’s inbox’s.

My computer is no longer working (it’s broken and taped together) and I am using an old e machine my cousin sold to my dad that still runs windows xp, and ofcourse I am no snob, XP is great but I would love to just feel how windows seven works without the people at best buy watching me and wondering if I am ever going to buy anything. I am also very embarrassed to admit that we can barely afford the internet, but my father keeps it on for me and my family. It does not look like I’m going to have a big christmas this year, but this computer would make it feel like one if I got one. My younger sister is constantly on disney.com playing Hannah Montanna games (forgive her for being so mainstream, she’s only seven), my two younger brothers are always on myspace , youtube and hulu getting their fill of the internet, while I am usually looking up lectures on youtube EDU about political science and art & design.
I beg that you listen to the plea of a twelvth grade nobody and grant me the privelidge of taking in the HP envy 15 your offering to keep for my own so that I can take it to college wich I plan on being the first in my family to complete. At the risk of sounding over dramatic this computer can really change my life. I’ve been looking and hoping for something, anything, a sign just to let me know that things will be alright, that things will eventually look up for me, and when I saw this contest I hoped everything could change, and every thing that has happened in my life has gone bad can be mad up for and that this can turn some of my bad luck around. I obviously do not have enough money to buy this computer my self, and now that I am going to school everyday rather than just once I can’t really get a job. I take care of my brothers and sister while my dad is working and I am not the most social person at school to begin with, but if I could win this I would be so happy and I would take care of this computer so well, not just because it’s a great computer, because it is, but because this computer would be that sign I have been looking for and for every day that is a bad day, or when I think every thing is going to go wrong, I can look at my HP envy and tell myself, “when you thought all odds were against you, you won that. That is what lifted your spirit and that is what’s going to be your sign that good things are happening to you and that today may suck, but remember, things will always turn around”. If You choose to give this great machine to someone else that’s fine and I wish every one else luck, but I promise, no swear to you, no one will appreciate this prize as much as I will.
Thank you,

Sincerely,
Alexander Noe Rangel

This will definitely make my colleagues envious. It will also give me the much needed mobility solution i have been searching for.

To win this NB for my friend, Shi-Han,Shu who needs a NB for his class in Visual Communication Design. HP Envy 15 could make it all happen as he does all the work.

There are so many ways it would help me. It would help me run my small at home business. It would prevent me from going insane with this old relic I use now that is slow and out of date. It would keep me in touch with friends and family which is majorly important to me. So many wonderful things this Notebook could do.

This would be THE perfect piece of hardware to replace my existing, 2 year old crappy laptop. Plus a perfect show-off in front of clients

Winning this awesome lappy would be a huge step in my becoming a freelance designer, allowing me to take my work/portfolio with me everywhere I went. It would essentially change my life by providing me with better independence, mobility, and a very cool laptop.

What a present it would be for my son. He financially supported us while I went back to college. He worked full time and went to college full time. In those 3 long years, our laptop has sort of died, the screen no longer works so we hooked up the computer to on old monitor we had. But winning this would make his day.

I would so love to win this!
Honestly money is tight for us.. I lost my parents and basically became homeless overnight.. Thank God for my boyfriend now husband who got an apartment with me.

We got the essentials for living and even a computer. Well 15 months later the computer crashed. We spent about $1400 on it so can’t afford to cough that up again, and COMPUSA is where we had a warranty which went out of business by me.

So we borrowed a friends computer, then his brothers, and now we have neither so I’m using my employers Built Laptop for the 90′s. I’m really hoping to snag a great deal on Black Friday but lets be honest, I live in a highly populated area. The only thing I might be able to get is a black eye..

So here is my plea, about my Envy, hoping it’s the HP you send me!

I’m a Belgian design student who works a lot with rendering programmes. In belgium students go home every weekend to meet their family. (i’ts a 3 hour drive) since i can’t afford a laptop that’s powerfull enough to do any rendering i bought a desktop. due to this situation i lose huge amounts of work-thime every weekend. this laptop would be a present from haven.

winning this computer would save me a lot of troubele
Thankx

Hello!! I’m sure this notebook will change my life. With the new intel i7 HP Envy no more waiting to finish a data process. Huge work time saving and enough time to live life.
I just don’t want to be the yanko followers envy if I win, but i want the Envy .

I would love this notebook. I only have a desktop, now and this notebook would be able to handle all of my applications on the road.

Well, I don’t have laptop, so winning this one would help me a lot. That’s how.

Since mac can have a virtual PC why not let a PC have a physical mac?

I always had to work my way trough life. Not that I mind its just that sometimes I saw people not trying too hard yet having great stuff and success in life.
So, I guess now it is my turn. If I get this laptop it would change my life in a way I could finally call myself one lucky girl!

If I recieve this laptop, I can do all my job with it for many many many years

If I recieve this laptop, I can do all my job with it for many many many years

Right now all I have is an old HP Pavilion desktop. It’s been running great but I’m starting to notice how slow it’s getting as programs become more heavy.

So I would really love this laptop so I could actually design a website or draw something without my mouse just skipping across the screen. And in school we’re starting to get more work, and a laptop would just help so much in writing essays and taking notes.

I would really love this computer for my mom. She doesn’t have one and she is always borrowing mine. So if I got it, I would be happy because I would no longer have to share mine. Plus, my mom is a wonderful woman who totally deserves to get such an awesome computer.

HP stands for Hellagood Product. I want an HP for my mom that I can ENVY!!!

Good luck to everyone and thank you for such a great giveaway!!!

My current notebook weighs a ton and makes me think twice about taking it out into the real world. The Envy looks like it would be perfect for travel. PLus the bright screen would allow me to work on my photos on the road.

I could make something up about how this laptop will make a difference in my life, but I don’t think I can answer that without actually using it first.

It’s a great contest, it’s a fantastic computer and I hope whoever does win it, makes the most with it and gets a chance to give back some of thier good fortune.

Good luck to all and thanks to Yanko Design.

This computer would be the perfect addition to our family!! We have a HP laptop now Love it!! Just really big and hard to take places!! A smaller computer would be so nice!! Thank YOU!!!

This would allow me to multitask. I am currently tethered to a desktop. I have always wanted a laptop but could never find the extra cash to justify purchasing one. I would love to win one!

I think its gonna be a nice replacement for my old pc.

Wow, I have no words to say how this would influence me on my life, but I would try to explain it, now I just won a scholarship next year’s to go to Austria and this would be an amazing tool I could take with me to enhance my experience from all the levels of life, from social to educational, to stay in contact with my love ones since I’m am from Costa Rica I will be other way over the Atlantic. This would let me really take advantage of the whole experience from a really new level. This would be the most expected gift for my internship and for christmas…

It’s starting to feel like desktops are dinosaurs – would love to be free of this stringy little umbilical cord thingee plugged into the wall. Being able to communicate on the road & be mobile would be a so great for my small business- Oh to be free truly free of internet cafes & hotel desktop internet on business trips!

I am a trying-to-emerge architect who needs desperately to change his old laptop in order to get speed at the presentation meetings, where I must wait infinitely for the relic’s will to start showing clients my projects. Just as someone before me said, my earnings go to pay house bills and daughters school stuff, and my savings are non-existent for paying credit cards.
Thanks for the opportunity, the Envy 15 capacities and power would really change my life!

This computer would really help me gradutate,

My sister needs a computer now that she entered college following my steps to become an indsutrial designer, and right now my parents cant afford to buy her a new computer.

this would be great for her!!

This computer would let me work anywhere. (I’m used to work on a desktop computer)

This laptop maximizes speed and mobility. It only makes sense for its user to maximize them as well.

– I could give it to my parents, but all they do is casual web surfing; almost all of its features would be wasted.

– I could give it to my sister, who’s starting college without a pc, but again only few of its capabilities would be utilized. (I’ll give her my aging acer laptop <3)

Now, I am soon to graduate from my university and must decide between industry or going through with my startup. I am getting some funding support from ventures, but hardly enough. This laptop would would relieve my financial situation and completely change my life:

* Given it's i7 processor and 16GB DDR3 memory I can use this for intensive video editing for marketing. Graphic design, CAD, and rendering all maximize its power.

* Given its long battery life and extreme speed, I can bring it to class and meetings and roll out programs at the same time!

* Given the power and storage redundancy (RAID) of the laptop, I can use it as my own mobile server. Not even mentioning how many thin clients I could connect to this beast. This would save me sooo much money!

This laptop enables me to pursue my career dreams rather than become an industry nobody. Maybe even one day I'll be as successful as YankoDesign. =)

Cheers, to the thought of one day holding my own laptop publicity contest.

My life would be so much better if I had an HP Envy 15 Notebook because I would get my work done anywhere and anytime.

There are quite some different aspects why this envy 15 would make my computing life easier. Every paragraph will tell you why.

Remark: I wrote a rather long text so I hope you read it all – it took quite some hours to write (!) The reason why I put so many efforts in this contest is because I hope it’s not just another random winner that gets the prize without trying (hard). I’m not telling you I have a disease like some others, that’s just lame. I do have full respect for people with real diseases, but that’s not a reason to win a notebook…
Anyway, let’s start:

- Design:
I will give some information about my computing life. I’m an architect & level designer and use Photoshop 7, SDK, CAD, Maya, level engines, etc. The problem is that most apps don’t run smooth on my current system. I don’t want to start crying like a child because of my current setup but I’m someone who needs the power of that notebook. I wrote some photoshop and SDK tutorials in the past (100% free).

- Mapping & development:
Of course I’m not designing all the time. Even if I did, I think you don’t deserve the notebook because of just one small aspect. Now I come to my second (big) point. I also love developing buildings and games. What I like the most is the engine of the game, “The brain” of the game. I’m a moderate level/map designer. I really like my current map editor: the Source SDK (games as CS: Sources, Half Life 2, Team Fortress 2 and Portal are based on this engine).

- What’s the problem?
I wouldn’t start talking about this if there wasn’t a problem. Developing maps take a lot of time and resources of desktops/notebooks. In my case: It use ALL my resources! If I create a large map (still smaller like the popular map the_dust2) then I need huge amounts of ram, which I simply don’t have, then my desktop reboots…

I will prove I will use all potentials of the notebook. It wouldn’t be fair if someone won who only uses Word or PowerPoint or does some internet tasks. First of all there was the RAM problem (including CAD). RAM isn’t the biggest problem so far. I will tell you my other hardware problems.

When maps become detailed by adding light, textures and models I need much GPU power. I currently have an old ATI 9800 Pro with 128Mb of dedicated video ram. I don’t have to tell you the card is outdated (released back in 2003!) I can almost hear the card crying for help when it is compiling. I don’t want a GPU for gaming, it’s for college. It is my job to create realistic levels. I created (detailed) buildings, houses, a garden, streets, etc.
Of course, the better your system is, the more details you can add, which is in 2009, very important!
So after the ram and the GPU power, what else do I need?

A CPU. This is maybe the most important! When do I need the full CPU power? When I place objects I need power, but that’s not the heaviest task. Compiling maps is the heavy thing. Compiling is like rendering: it can take a while.
It must be clear now that mapping is very, very complex:
Click on this link to have an example: http://img386.imageshack.us/my…..lexsf9.gif

- Compiling:
Compiling with an old Pentium 4 isn’t really a pleasure. I can literally go downstairs and make some coffee, watch television and eat some toast. When I go back I see compiling is done. 100% (finally!!) I click OK and run the map/environment, by loading the platform. And what do I see? Some errors, no big deal, because you can’t simply make a building or level without any error or mistakes the first time you compile. Windows 7 wasn’t written in one day either. I don’t have to say what improved it would be with an intel core i7…
Now I can edit the errors and correct my mistakes. Now I can compile again (after getting some errors like “Out of Memory”) Again this take a while.

- College:
Although creating games to entertain players isn’t the only thing I do. I also have to finish college. So I will need Windows Office with programs like Word, Powerpoint and Excel (math!)
I would be very glad to have windows 7. It’s just a “mush-have” operating system. I cannot install it. To heavy for my desktop if I still want to run CAD…

- Mobility
I go to college, which is about 50 miles from home. It’s quite clear that I can’t live without a portable computer. However, I’m still stuck with my current desktop. I have to move my desktop every two weeks when I go home (including cables and screen). I don’t have to say this sucks, do I? …

- Vlexo (hosting company)
I’m also a member of the support team at vlexo.com, what do we do? We are providing free webhosting to hostless people. Why free? I must admit buying books and college can be very expensive. Then again if you want to do something extra you always have to pay for it. Well, this time not anymore now if you’re planning to release a (news)blog or website. I do free things for other people, I wonder if I will get something for free from you.

– The end:
Anyway I think I’ve to stop, you’ll have to read other stories the following days. Sorry, I simply couldn’t stop writing. You don’t know how much I want this HP Envy. There are so many reasons to have this beauty! But I must stop even when you still don’t know half what I would love to tell you. I know I will (probably) not win this contest, but at least I tried!

Thanks anyway,
For the opportunity, yankodesign,

I’m following you on twitter and tweeted the text (my nickname: Devenox)

What could I do with it? I could do so much things, like writes notes about one of my future projects or working on pictures I just took. Actually, I could do so much things…

I would be so happy!

Thanks YD for your excellent work

This thing is awesome – I am envious. There is unlimited potential with this baby, from editing pictures of my infant son to having a laptop for business travel and then some.

I would really love to win a laptop for my son. He just graduated college and is having a hard time finding a job in his field. He has a degree in 3D graphic design and could really use a laptop to help create his portofolio and work on the job hunt. What a great Christmas for him that would be!!

just amazing for my new freelance job, have an old one that make me sick… too much rendering time, this awesome machine would be very helpful for design work, I’m expecting to emigrate and neither have a machine that works nor enough money to buy a beast like this!!

i am a product design student in great need of a newer laptop in order to keep up with the needs for digital rendering and photoshop, this laptop would really help me in my studies to becoming a better product designer.

This would help me with my design job (industrial designer) because my salary wont allow me to buy a new computer to work on and my current one is really really old and now design software require better configuration to work on ….
And i am HP fan….this would be perfect

Like many others here I’m a student studying something technical (in my case Aerospace Engineering). I also can’t afford a computer which is sufficient for rendering all the 3D design I need to make (have to pay rent, study, insurrence and everything else by myself, and I’m only 19 ).

Also, my family and a large numbers of friend live 300km away from me, and I travel up and down very often. A laptop would allow me to be efficient while traveling! Allowing me to actually make some deadlines .

But perhaps the most important influence of all would be the following: I’ve always dreamt of being (fighter) pilot. I’ve applied once (2 years ago when I was 17) and I failed because I was not able to keep up with all the information I needed to process (attitude flying on feeling, keeping track of possible traffic outside and a minimal amount of time for the dials WHILE following a strict flying pattern… and this all with just a small book with minimal information).
This laptop would make it possible for me to install a decent flight simulator in which I can practice radio communication, flying patterns, planning flights, the effects of the weather (by using a mod) etc, etc… This would greatly improve my chances of passing the test and achieving my dreamjob.

I tweeted this on: http://twitter.com/DChannan

Currently my only computer is one supplied by my company. Can’t add software (games or utilities) and am very careful to not put personal items on it. Would love to have a personal laptop.

I’m a design student and constantly inspired by all the products that are on Yanko Design.

Having the HP Envy 15 will be a great upgrade and design tool for my studies as an aspiring product designer. There are just so many features and this power machine will be able to do whatever I throw at it.

how the The $1,800 HP Envy 15 Notebook will make a difference in my life?

my notebook battery lasts 2 hours, the netbook battery will help me work while i travel.

I don’t yet have a notebook and I am constantly out of home most of the time. So i get very little time in front of my Desktop to study Animation, 3D Visualization, and do archtectural renderings. With a powerful notebook like the HP Envy 15, I can be sure that I can carry on working on my designs anywhere I like, saving precious time that I would otherwise waste.

I have an aging ASUS laptop that needs updating. As a grad students, a new laptop would sure come in handy.

it would not only change my life but my daughters as well (she would get this one I am typing on!)

I follow you @stanza_rae
I RT you http://twitter.com/stanza_rae/status/5941390965

The HP Envy 15 Notebook will make a big difference to me. My daughter could have the old dinosaur computer and I would be able to surf a lot faster.

The HP Envy 15 would change my life in many ways and all of them for the better. Since my work as a graphic designer and web developer requires constant hardware upgrades, it would certainly improve my range in terms of development and production. In Colombia, this technology is very expensive hence difficult to obtain for designers like myself who are starting in the business and are not making enough to buy this fine machine.

When technology is here to change you life, that’s when HP make’s the computer “Personal Again”, and they also redefine the meaning which helps me make it in the professinal world and the world that looks to innovate continually with the HP Envy 15!

This laptop would be great for either my computer repair business or a gift to my wife who is getting more and more into gaming but does not have a decent computer to do so. She can barely even write up word documents either so a new computer would help a lot.

This Notebook is beautiful.

I’am looking for the replacement of my current notebook, which is already outdated and slow, and this HP could be an excellent replacement.

The sleek design, performance, and battery life are all important for me, so i wish i can win.

The most beautiful notebook I ‘ve ever seen. That would be useful for job and traveling

MySpace-Countdowns

this will surely change my life by giving me the freedom to run almost any design suite and thus giving me a chance to unleash my creativity to the maximum.

This computer would help me saving some much time on renderings for clients … and actually maybe finish on time

how the HP Envy 15 will make a difference in your life: my actual laptop is dead and I need a new one to work as, for a Software Architect, is not so easy to follow/accomplish my customers without a powerful notebook; the flexibility of HP Envy 15 will surely change the quality of my job, greately helping me to pay the bills and, at the same time, reducing my work hours too; wasting less time for job will give me more time to spend around my family which lead to more happiness.

I see having the HP Envy 15 as opportunity that would completely change my livelihood. I am a student at Baylor University, and I am double majoring in Finance and Management Information Systems(MIS). Apart from school, I also work as a Web Media Developer, where I code in various scripts, graphic design, and consult clients to determine their needs. This computer will allow me to create functional applications for end users through coding, as well as graphically design the physical front end to help others with their needs. Not only will this help me with school, and work but staying connected with my family and friends in Thailand as well on my travels.

Personal hardships should not factor into the chances of winning. We all face challenges, we are where we are due to the choices that we make, taking responsibility and dealing with the choices that we make is natural and is unavoidable.

An eighteen hundred dollar laptop is a great prize and will undoubtedly make our lives easier in this digital age. I am sure that any of us can genuinely appreciate it, but I am also sure that not all of us will use it to its full potential.

This is not an ordinary web surfing, email reading, youtubing laptop, it’s a dense, versatile powerhouse capable of performing computations on par with today’s most powerful desktop workstations, handling high end professional work with ease.

Putting this powerful tool in to the hands of someone that does not use it to its full potential is a tragedy, a great disservice to the countless man-hours, and stake holders responsible for its existence.

I intend to break new ground and introduce great ideas to the world. I have done quite well and have gone so far just by utilizing the university’s computers. I will graduate this May with a BS in Industrial Design and a BA in Design Management, so it’s about time this opportunity came to me. Winning this will free up a major bottle-neck in my daily operations and allow me to gain an unprecedented level of productivity and flexibility.

I look forward to seeing the result.

I go to an engineering college so a lot of the software we use is very process intensive (matlab, solidworks, autocad, protools, to name a few). Currently I use an HP TC1100 (which is more than 5 years old!). It runs a measely 1.2ghz centrino mobile processor. The screen is only 10″. When that’s your main computer, it’s really hard to do with with. This beauty will screen space and processing power to do my projects efficiently (instead of having to wait around minutes for rendering or computation)

The HP Envy 15 notebook is an awesome computer! After my eight and a half months of unemployment, I start my new job tomorrow and this computer will be the key tool to my future!

http://www.twitter.com/ibasaw4

I am going back to school for my MA degree and this would make it easier to do work on the go and also provide entertainment.

how the The HP Envy 15 Notebook will make a difference in my life?

it will take a weight off my back.

I have only very old and heavy Toshiba SatellitePro 4300 series notebook. Its battery doesnt work anymore. so i can use it only at home. to own new notebook would be just great!

Following on twitter (hillfam2005). Tweet: http://twitter.com/hillfam2005/status/5950353440

This would be great to have when I have to bring work home from the office. I can be in the same room as my family while finishing work to meet my deadlines. I am also going back to school, so this would also be great to have for my classes.

you will get a lot of comments in here. this wonderful notebook could rescue me from my MBP which is broken all the time. i wanna get my work done on a beautiful working computer. this one could help me … or my wife

I am an industrial design student at Philadelphia Univeristy and would finally be able to run Solidworks and Photoview 360 to make gorgeous renderings!

Not to mention I would have something much more portable than my hefty desktop. Woohoo!

I’m an aspiring graphic designer attending FIT who prefers a pc over a mac. Since a lot of the graphic software are process heavy, this would help me get the job done.

This computer would really change how I would spend my time online. Currently i’m a full time student, and I do not own a laptop so I have to rely on the school’s computer lab to do all my on-campus coursework, and the desktop i have at home is a POS. Dates back to 2001–and even then it’s probably been on bestbuy’s shelves for who-knows-how long. Lol

I’m sure with this computer it’d change how I would play games (WoW, DotA, COD:MW2, etc.) too.

I’m a pre-med student and I could really use this laptop for school, and just basic freedom from the sit-at-home desktop. Winning this laptop would be awesome since it means I would spend $1800 less on tuition and school. In the past I’ve also done graphics design and webdesign to help pay for some books and tuition and with this laptop by my side, I wouldn’t have to suffer sever lagging and the occasional computer-freezing.

Dude. The HP Envy would give me an extreme performance boost to allow me build up my graphic design portfolio. Maybe once i get the computer i can submit my designs to yd one day. ;]

As an Architectural Engineering student, I am constantly working on design projects, programs, and the like. I also hold a leadership position with one of the organizations I am involved with, and it requires me to plan agendas for the upcoming weeks meetings and events.
This laptop would help me stay on top of my schedule and events. The quality of the graphics card and memory would be vital for my programs, such as Autodesk Revit and AutoCAD. Its speed would also benefit me when working on multiple projects.

I’m a full-time student and winning this laptop would mean the world to me. I’m currently majoring in business/international business and having something mobile (portable) and practical like this is a life saver (and back saver). Currently I rely on the computers on campus to do my coursework, but at home I have a super old computer –that probably dates back to 2001… and its has a PRE 1ghz processor. But it gets the job done, I’d just like something faster and more reliable. Great giveaway–very generous of you.

Well after reading a few of these comments some are tuching and some are funny and some are well some so i dont want but since i’ve already staeted why not type all the way…

i’m backing Simon Downey

Just because the $1,800 HP Envy 15 Notebook change lives

As a designer I need a few computer to complete my works at the same time.While rendering project at my computer I can draw at other…

This computer would help me in my life by replacing my current lappy that is plug dependent due to a dead battery and missing the “E” and “Enter” buttons.

Thanks for the chance!!!

As much as I would love this amazing machine for myself, it’s my daughter whose life it would change. She really needs a laptop. She will soon be heading off to University to fulfill her childhood dream of becoming a Veterinarian.

She has wanted one for such a long time, but we haven’t had the finances to purchase one for her. She hasn’t been able to work at a (paying) job so she could help to purchase one for herself, because she is working an (unpaid) Internship at a Veterinary clinic thru a special program at her school. It is giving her fantastic, real-life experience in her chosen field, as well as college credits – but it leaves her little time for much else, since she has her regular schoolwork to keep up with as well.

It would be such an immense help to her with her studies! Thank you for the opportunity to win this for her.

I’ve tweeted about this here:

Well it has Core i7

I’m a freelancer who uses the internet to seek out jobs. My laptop is getting weird on me and I’m forced to use the desktop more and more. This wouldn’t be a problem except I spend a lot of time on the road and it’s becoming more and more difficult to get work without having a reliable laptop at hand. I’d love a shot at this. I’ve tweeted (http://twitter.com/killerbeees/status/5958777148), thanks for the chance!

I am traveling oversea for work, and it’d be great to have a laptop that has extended battery life to make the 10 plus hour of flight bearable.

Thanks!

@chronopc

As an engineering student at Stanford University and amateur video editor, I constantly find myself running various applications, computational tools, and memory-draining video-editing software simultaneously, and as better and better system requirements become necessary, my current laptop will soon be obsolete. Additionally, since I live on the East coast, I am constantly using my laptop on the go, which has largely drained its maximum battery life to 1 hour. The Envy fits my requirements perfectly, providing ample power and long lasting battery life, and while I can’t say it’ll completely change my life, it’d definitely be a nice improvement.

Thanks for the chance at an awesome machine!

I’m a farmer and I would like to use this computer to say organized and manage my payroll. Having a computer that would go where I would go is essential in staying on top of the agriculture industry. And plus, it would keep me entertained.

I’m an amateur photographer and video editor; I’m always on the go, and having something that could handle a lot of open applications is very helpful and i depend on it to stay open (and not freeze) to keep me going. Currently I’m a full time student, and do photography as a hobby/free lancing. I work full time at a local photo developing studio using photoshop to enhance/restore pictures. It’d be nice to have a computer thats up to par with the ones at work.

The HP Envy notebook would benefit me because i juggle 3 different jobs: full time student, club promoter, and DJ-ing. I need something thats powerful, reliable, and capable of having multiple windows open at the same time and not crash. I gets boring seeing the same laptop on campus–you know,the one with that white glowing apple… Being different and showing off something different definitely falls in my line of work.

tweeted about it here: http://twitter.com/panderrrrr/status/5953600140

So much power in the notebook its ridiculous! In a good way of course. Definitely out does my desktop of 9 years. Lol I’m working with a 1.2GHz processor on this desktop and it can barely handle Firefox + notepad open. Life would be much simpler if I had something thats powerful, reliable (brand name, and specs.), and durable–look at the way this machine is built! BEAST!

thanks for the chance at this giveaway.

An HP Envy would make a huge difference in my life because I do not currently own a laptop, do not personally own a desktop either (have to use my friend’s, or the campus’ computer-lab) and I would be the ENVY of the entire 20,000 student body at my university. This is my first year in college, and I’m trying to keep up with my school work–but having to travel from one end of the campus, to the other end to use the computer, gets kind of hectic. And finding time, or even a computer to use is never a guarantee.

Kinda sad, but this laptop would be my entire entertainment system. I’m married with two kids, and two dogs and having something that can entertain on-the-go is crucial from having to rip out your ears, LOL. With the HP Envy I would be able to load movies on to the laptop and display it on my TV–entertaining sites such as hulu and youtube are life savers. The ENvY would be one too.

Carrying this monsta will make me proud infront of all the gadgets. My life will run faster in quad speed. lol.
This is a piece of work that can handle every work that PC can handle. So beautiful.

I work with my parents as a florist, and keeping all our orders on a POS computer is getting annoying. I’d use this computer as our main computer at the store to keep track of orders, clients, and important dates. Of course it doesn’t stop there, for something as powerful as this, I would use it to design custom cards (another possible expansion for our business!) and/or send out notifications for clients if they want to be reminded of anniversaries, birthdays, etc. We’ll take care of it all! –assuming this beefy computer is ours.

Well winning receiving this laptop would be of immense value to me, since I am going to Western Washington University to study industrial design and I don’t have a computer of my own, so getting this would help me out a lot.

Dear Yanko Design,

I came up with 3 reasons. First, I signed up a twitter account for this. Second, this event overlaps with my birthday so it would be a wonderful birthday present. Third, if i do get the HP notebook, it would be a very memorable and meaningful gift!! Last, thanks for setting up this event, it gives me an opportunity to dream.

I recently moved to California for school, and being on my own, I had to sell my other laptop to pay for rent and other bills. It sucked having to let my Apple go, but looking at the specs for this computer, it puts Apple to shame. The reason for selling my previous computer was because of the stupid budget cuts that California had to go through, very damaging for students, faculty, and pretty much CA in general. With this laptop I’d stay on top of my game; school-wise and gaming .

Thank you for the opportunity to enter in this give away. I’ve also tweeted about it. @frostyjoshy

I’d like to use this PC to get into web designing and hopefully come up with a new website thats gonna make it big. (don’t really wanna give full details about the site since I’m just starting to come up with the idea, but i have a feeling it could generate some big revenue) –with the help of this notebook, I’m sure I’ll accomplish just that. Twitter: @frostyjoshy

It would be the perfect replacement of my old PC.
I´m an industrial designer, so i really need a powerfull machine, and if i can carry it everywhere, better.

HP Envy will satisfy my need for something that’s durable, powerful and a monster that would shred apart its competitors. I’m currently using a Dell thats below par compared to todays standards–and I’ve had it for 4 years (amazing that it even lasted that long). This would change my life for sure since it would allow me to expand my design company.

This could be the best present for graduation. I’m working on my masters right now in social work, and having a notebook that’s personally mine, and not the county’s would do be wonders. I wouldn’t have to worry about restrictions, being monitored, and just have complete freedom. Juggling school, and work is a tremendous hassle, but i’m just optimistic and looking forward to the outcome–and hopefully this laptop would allow me to drift away from the confined space the county has left me with.

Currently I am an independent contractor who goes to barber shops up and down California selling supplies. It would be great to have a laptop where it is super portable and reliable. This would change my life because as we all know, business isn’t what it used to be–clients only look for deals, and low prices are what keeps them entertained and interested. I can’t always have a full inventory in my car because I’m limited to what I can store, and these supplies go by fast–so with the help of this HP Envy laptop I would be able to pull up pictures and description of the inventory I have at our warehouse and leave and place an order to have it ship to their store directly.

The business right now isn’t at the point where I’d like it to be, and part of the reason for that is not being able to have everything on hand. Sure I can describe to them the product, but describing and seeing it for them selves is entirely different, with this laptop I’d be a lot more productive and possible expand this business to either a physical location, online or even both!

I love what I do, and how I help people–and that is, I’m a personal trainer. If I win this laptop I would able to show my clients what they need to do in order to loose weight and meet their goals. I have several Excel files that I can’t bring with me, since I do not have a laptop, instead i have to print it out and email them a copy + explain to them how to use it. With the laptop, I would be able to show them first hand how to keep track of their caloric intake, and all the exercises needed to meet their goal/maintain their shape. Understanding how to workout properly, and what to eat is key to success and results, and I believe with the help of the HP ENVY i can do just that. (@jphat897)

I’m no computer expert, but I am a psychology expert! And I can safely diagnose my desktop computer as borderline psychotic/bipolar. One day it’ll work just fine, and the next its posessed by the BSoD. This computer has been with me for 8 years or so, and I’m thankful for it, but for the past 3 years its been iffy. The HP Envy would change my life completely, 360 degrees, because I wouldn’t have to rely on this junk anymore to do homework, research, or just simple stuff like email. I’m sure with the HP Envy I’ll have a long life with it, and I might even pick up new hobbies with it–put it to its full potential! I’m sure people will Envy me when they see me with this. *twitter @lmfao_brianna86*

well i would really need it cause
1. my life right now is soo busy that i cannot buy one since its too expensive
2.it would help greatly with my studings
3.it would be my first lap top sad to say, cause well i got no money.
4.it would be great if i won

This slick beast will capture my heart and send it to a place where even a ring of Dante’s Inferno cannot describe.

It won’t only make a difference in my life – it will be Life.

*cue evil laughter*

This Notebook would mean a whole bunch for me. I need a computer to last me in high school. I plan to use it to run my photo editing programs such as Photoshop, and I also needed a computer with good enough specs for video editing. My Family and I are a bit tight on money now; so this would mean a whole lot if I did win. Of course, my family wouldn’t let me keep it all to myself. I would also share it with my sister who also is in need for a laptop for her essays, etc.

Thanks for reading

Oh man, we’re getting close.

Super excited for the lucky winner…

Please dear god, let it be me. This will make such a huge difference!

Good luck everyone!

regarding Tweet to Win The $1,800 HP Envy 15 Notebook

how the HP Envy 15 will make a difference in your life: my actual laptop is dead and I need a new one to work as, for a Software Architect, is not so easy to follow/accomplish my customers without a powerful notebook; the flexibility of HP Envy 15 will surely change the quality of my job, greately helping me to pay the bills and, at the same time, reducing my work hours too; wasting less time for job will give me more time to spend around my family which lead to more happiness.

My Present LAptop :

1.Right Now I am using Dell Studio 15 , As It is having windows vista , the performance is pure it is not supporting applications which are supporting my Windows Xp .

2. System weight / Weight with AC adapter 6.0 / 7.2 pounds , it is a core 2 duo T8100 processor and having Graphics ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3400 and the HDD 320 GB 5400 RPM with internal Optical Drive.

3.As I am a software professional , I like to use linux too but I have to make it seperatly coz it is not coming with laptop

Now how the HP Envy 15 will make a difference in MY life:

1.While it is coming with Windows 7 and fast booting linux . All application those are not working in vista will be supported by windows 7 , as it has a fast booting linux feature. It can be very helpful to me todo my R & D work in linux.

2.Radeon HD 4830 for the Envy 15 512MB, I am gaming freak , whenever I get time I use to play games . my present laptop can’t support high-end grapihcs with Envy 15 sure this can be possible.

3.Envy 15 performance would be better than my present as it has the new Core i7-720QM CPU . which can handle database servers and application servers without performance breaks. As I can’t all these in my present laptop it can be dead it I use all these.

4. The data reading and writing will be much better coz of it’s RPM speed i.e 7200 rpm .it would be great for 18hrs of runtime, can save my power a lot.

5.It would be better if HP provides external optical drive with Envy 15 like Envy 13.

6.The Big advantage is It can be upgradable to 16GB RAM which is too High Spec can run any sort of applications at same time.It will never hang-up

I am very much impressed with new Envy notebooks as build quality is very high , gud competition for Apple’s 13- and 15-inch MacBook Pro notebooks. the combination of solid metal construction, capable specifications and lengthy battery life 7.25 hrs .supporting 16 GB of RAM is great feature , the machine can’t be hang-up like my present laptop. Sure I can complete my work with much quality in less working hours , Ofcourse the price is a bit high but worthwhile

With this laptop I intend to use it for a change to bring my business out of the garage, and into something more complex–something online, or perhaps even a kiosk at the mall. Currently I have a website that which allows me to make custom ipod/iphone cases, provide screen protectors, and pretty much anything mobile phone/accessory related. Being able to make a nice website, and design it by myself (i have done webdesign in the past) would make my life so much better–and i feel that the Envy can do that without a doubt.

I could take all the fun everywhere

I’m a full time student majoring in graphics design. I currently own a Mac, and quite frankly, I’m only use it because we all know thats the “standard” in the graphics design industry, and I have to learn it if I ever wanna put it on my resume for a potential job. I’m a Windows kinda gal, and have always been. This laptop would benefit my life immensely because it would bring back my love with Windows and allow me to do the same stuff that Mac’s are able to do, if not more. Something that’ll definitely allow me to grow, and become a successful artist.

I do a lot of video editing for a local design company–and its pretty much independent work, so I work on my own time, or whenever they want me to do something for them. The current laptop I have is extremely slow–its capable of doing the task, but has sever lag. With this laptop, i’d be able to be a lot more productive, make more money and possibly have more clients or companies to work for! A serious life changer, for sure.

I attend Cal Poly where I’m an engineer major–my current laptop does support the programs I need (auto-cad, mat-lab, solidworks, etc.) but doesn’t do it that well since it lags upon occasion. This laptop would change my life completely because I would be able to complete my course work and not have to suffer lagging which in turn will able me to work at a faster pace! After all, being able to full execute these programs are key to my success in the real world . I feel that with the specs it has, it would have NO problem whatsoever, and it is surely not your everyday laptop–this is something that’ll definitely do more than just your typical word processing, youtube, hulu, etc. Its a beast!

This is such a great contest you’re running, I want to thank you for hosting it and good luck to all.

I will be starting school again in the spring semester–actually, in just a few months! And this laptop would be ideal for my field of study. I’m a photographer and I do a lot of Photoshop editing. I feel that this laptop would change my life by simplifying it so I don’t have to stress about my laptop overheating and turning off, or not having enough RAM to complete the task, or even not turning on sometime. I also take pictures at weddings, so I rely heavily on a reliable computer–and this I’m sure will do just that!

The Envy would make a significant difference in my life not only because it can hold a charge–and I rely heavily on my laptop for my work and school–but because of its useful 7hr battery life, and its solid slate drive option. Other laptops I’ve had in the past (so far 2), all have had hard drive failures, which made me invest in an external harddrive (which everyone SHOULD have anyway, but just wish I had one before they died on me), and something that’s lightweight.

Currently I don’t have a usable laptop and having the HP Envy would be incredibly useful for me as I am taking archtectural and 3d design work.i luv to own it.

The HP Envy could actually be my life saver… Currently, i carry a laptop to and from school to do basic school work–but the thing is, the laptop I carry is almost 8lbs! The Envy 15, at just a tad bit over 5lbs would save me 3lbs and from a sore back. Of course with such a powerhouse computer like this, I wouldn’t just use it for school work, but also I’d use it for something a little more complex: game playing, music (amateur DJ), and web design. I love making websites, and I’ve been doing it for free so I’d have a portfolio –but with this new laptop, I’d be able to make a living from it and have something that could save my back, lol.

Something so sleek, so shiny, so amazing–not going to lie… it’ll change my life because I’ll get all the ladies. The geeky ones, at least. LOL. Which is all I really care for anyway. I need someone I can relay binary to, and share my views in 1080p. My current laptop, a pre-2003 compaq, is kind of embarrassing when you’re trying to bump your music and all of a sudden the music stops because you lag out of iTunes. This would be sweet, that is all.

(LOL I really like Hank’s post)

Just looking at these pictures of the laptop and I’m in love. The HP Envy15 would make a big difference in my life because it means I get to stay connected with my friends and family in my dorm room, and while i’m on the go. I’m such a family-oriented girl, and not being able to see my family for a long period of time because I’m schooling, is kind of hard–you just need to see a friendly face and a comforting smile from your mom. (twitter @kristen_go)

Laptop would be an amazing gift. My mom has a 7 year old e-machine which is horrible so If I were to win the laptop I would give it to her as a gift for Christmas. She has wanted a laptop for sometime so I think it would really mean a lot to her.

I am an avid gamer, and this would change my life because I’d be pwning n00bs at incredible quad core speed. But really, besides from being a gamer, I’m also a game designer and beta tester for software–this laptop could possible get me a raise or overtime pay if I get to take my work home with me. The specs from this alone, beats my Toshiba. Its pretty insane how they [HP] compiled all this in such a lightweight machine, and made it look so slim and sleek. Something that’ll be the envy in the office for sure.

AMAZING LAPTOP!! This would make a huge difference in my life because I currently do not own a laptop and am in need of something portable for school rather than having to run across campus to use their desktop–and i’m sure its probably rarely ever secure. With my own laptop I don’t have to worry about my keystrokes being logged, any one tampering w/ my account if I forget to log out(which has happened to me before unfortunately), or share one with my sister. Part of a successful college life is having a computer, and one thats your own… well, that’s just a bigger plus.

I would love this for my graduation. I’m graduating May 2010, and will be going for my MBA. This would be a life changer because it would save me a significant amount of money, instead of adding to my huge student loan.

Quite simply the neatest, cleanest, aggressive-est looking computer I’ve seen in a really long time. You wouldn’t expect something so powerful to come from something so clean like this. Usually with such huge specs, one would expect to carry something that’s at least twice its size, and easily twice its weight–but thats no the case with this HP. HP, you’ve done a great job with the Envy line!

This would make a great difference in my life because I could finally start my graphics design career. For years, i’ve been relying on my desktop at home to do my work for me–by all means, it gets the job done, except at an incredibly slow pace.

About a month ago, my laptop just died–what perfect timing! I’ve been using my laptop to promote my band and make/edit music. The previous laptop, was a complete mistake on my part, I pushed it way too hard, and expected so much in return, which probably explained its short life. I’m sure this quad core can handle the work I’m about to put on it, and then some!

I love how this computer is so sleek, not only the way it looks but also what it packs inside. With so much power and in such a compact machine, all I can really say is WOW. HP truly out did themselves this time. I’m a student teacher, looking to become a high school physics teacher. With a computer like this, it’ll last me YEARS, no doubt. In teaching physics, 3d graphs and being able to relay the carts is essential when it comes to teaching–so thats how this will change my life. It’ll allow me to become a “cooler” teacher, and honestly, I’ll be the envy at school. Hah.

This laptop with its awesome capabilities would help me be a more productive photographer and hone my Photoshop skills, helping me on my way to turn professional because it’s got such awesome specs and amazing battery life.

That improvement in my life will have a domino effect of helping me to help my husband improve our family finances and provide a better future for our children.

Congratulation, Simon Downey!
I am glad for you (maybe a little invidious, but glad for you).
