5 (+3) Games That Will Run On Your Netbook
This would be a great Christmas gift. When I'm not at my house, like visiting the parents and other adventures of the outdoors. I feel a pain in the heart when I know I can not check on the latest posts of OhGizmo and my other techie sites. I go through withdrawal and it isn't pretty.
I need a laptop with a battery that works.
Plus, they do call it Envy for a reason
I have 2 jobs, and go to University and i still can't seem to buy a notebook i like. Every time i get the money, something comes up and i have to end up paying bills and paying for other expenses. This would be the greatest Christmas present someone could ever give me. Recently my family has hit some hard times. We were doing so well before and because of the horrible economy. anything else that i make that is not bill related i have to end up giving to my parents. I don't stress over that though, my parents brought me into this world and i will do anything to make them happy. Sometimes someone can get happiness just from making others happy and i know that i am accomplishing this.
Don't feel bad though, i am sure there are many people out there who should win this laptop but this why i feel i would like to take a shot to win, maybe some magic for Christmas.
Ahem.
OhGizmo! is removed from my RSS feed after a long long time. So long.
Cheers.
plus, i spilled diet mountain dew on it so the "g" and "h" key don't really work very well...
@ home earlier I had n still have the Pavillion 750c (given to my kids to learn) I now use the DC7800 Business Micro Tower + a 3500c scanjet + a 5550 deskjet printer + a DV1000 laptop
I would never be able to afford to buy the Envy 15 notebook so I would love to win it ;)
If I do win it can be delivered to my address in US (delivery will be signed for on receipt) - I'm currently out of the country - but please dont hold it against my chance of winning ;)
That's one spicy meatball!
Well *snif*, I'm on to you *snif, snif*. I'm not going to cry. You'd like that wouldn't you? Make the 46 yr old looser cry. Listen up Oh Gizmo guys! If it weren't for me, you'd be nothing. Actually you'd probably still be rolling along but it wouldn't be the same. My comments are like a breath of fresh cheese and who doesn't like cheese? Big giant wheels of cheese rolling into your hearts.
Frankly I have to admit that I couldn't survive without this site. Every day I rush to it like a kindred spirit or something similar. I know! you are like my mistress! If Oh Gizmo were a woman I'd be in love. Yes love, damn it! I'll yell it from the mountaintop! I love Oh Gizmo and I don't care who knows it! Do you hear me
world?!
OK, I seem to be running out of angles here. I think I have the vapors and a case of the screaming mi mi's. I'm beginning to tire and need a second windbag to come over me. I'm beginning to weaken and the only thing that might help is to draw energy from an HP laptop. If only...*cough, cough*....
Clear! I said clear damn it! *doooooooop* *ZAP* *boop, boop, boop, booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo*
NOOOOOOOOO! For the love of God, NO!!! Why didn't they just give him the HP?!
He was the best darn commenter we ever had. OK, anyone hungry? I could go for some crackerjacks and tap water about now.
...Twice!
Waiting for HP to rock my world.
Also, I can show my friends all the lovely wicked laser reviews that I so enjoy seeing here!

I've always wanted a laptop, but I'm too broke to actually buy one. I've been looking at this laptop for several months (since it's been anounced). It has a better than average graphic card (the 4830 is a lower clocked 4860, so it's basically a 4850), an i7, a relatively fast hard drive (7200 RPM) and a ton of ram. The screen also has a great resolution (1900x1200), and it's not too heavy (5 pounds).
I play a lot of demanding games (STALKER, Crysis, World in Conflict, Bioshock, COD5...), and I move around a lot (I travel sevral times a year) to visit my father (my parents are divorced), where I don't have a computer. It would be too expensive to buy two computers with a very good graphic card on them.
I also would need a laptop to take notes in my classes (more practial than using a notebook), and I also LAN COD4 and WIC+SA, which has pretty high graphical requirements.
All this being said, I need a laptop that is powerful and at the same time not too heavy/easy to carry arround, which is exactly what this laptop is.
The laptop I am currently using is about 5 years old, every time I touch the left side of I get a nice little shock, which is really great for helping you wake up in the morning. Not to mention the fact that it is slow as molasses. Why not go buy a new you ask? I tried to buy a new laptop, had 31 days and it got knocked off of a table by my cat and broke the screen. One day out of warranty and my cheap little $300 laptop now needs about $120 in repairs. So my wife sits and uses her nice new laptop while I am stuck with an old piece of crap that was slow even when it was new. That is why I deserve to win it.
Seriously cool laptop. Can't wait for more details.
P.S. Bring back Fish Tank Fridays!
I'd use it for work, I freelance and It'd be great to have a laptop to use instead of the under powered Lenovo work stations I've been working on.
I'd make quite the impression bringing that puppy into the conference room and showing my work.
I would like to have a new computer because it can help me taking notes in the University. With a new laptop I can stay studying in the Library; in my home I have to many distractions so I waste a lot of time. Definitely it will improve my academical performance.
Please, pick me ;)
But of course I would sit at work with it facing away from casual traffic playing MMOs all day.
And it has juice that I can alt-tab and almost instantly get to a spreadsheet to look like I am busy :)
Sleek and powerful, looks really good. I would sit at work and face it away from casual traffic.
With a spreadsheet in the background and earphones on (only one earbud in so I could hear approaching people), I would be slapping around various MMOs that I normally only play in my off time.
Really. What kind of work environment doesn't allow me to game as long as my work is done?
Fight the powers that be I say! Viva la revolution!
Or something along those lines.
Of course with the beef that this laptop has I could alt-tab almost instantly to a spreadsheet or some code...
"Oh what are you working on?"
"Oh this? Its just code to draw the sales figures for the eastern region from the database.."
'Good job'
I hear myself die through the ear bud in my game and laughter of the person that just ganked me.
I cringe to my boss as they give me kudos for my coding.
A misinterpreted gesture to be sure.
Of course with this laptop I might be able to write coherently as well...
Thanks!
Not long ago;we kindly gave up our Laptop,to someone we love dearly.Now,maybe time has come to receive what we always liked:A new laptop!
Thanks for the opportunity,
Joe
We since continuously remain stagnant in what has been forever known to us as..
The Dark Ages of mine and my girlfriend's apartment.
Disparately we limp and stagger through the days and nights - malnourished, hungered and deprived of information. There's no telling who or where we get our next ration of datum in this bleak of times.
Disconnected from the outside world (wide web) we gain what little to no knowledge of current. We have been reduced to share the sparce 8GB solid state shillings carry in our empty pockets. No longer can we host along with our once beloved network'd brethren as they now scoff and abandon to bottomless perdition! We are left hanging in the balance!
Our hope has become dim. Our faith has become withered. We plead for a miracle of chance and change. We hope one day, this miracle, may it water our flower of technology that has for so long been withered and dried.
ps- You aren't by chance also giving away a Movado Watch and a signed Ernie Banks baseball are you? No, oh, just thought I'd ask...
~~~Warmly awaiting in anticipation~~~

1. My birthday is the 22nd
and...
2. HP doesn't suck
rest of the world here, and waiting for a laptop :(
And porn.
Thanks
So long
Laptops are quite nice
Free laptops are much better
Laptop, I love you.
Good luck everyone!
I'm an italian guy and I frequent university course of computer engineering in Ferrara but I'm not able to buy a laptop that is obviously required. I'll be the most happy guy in the world if i will win this fantastic laptop. Thank you for the opportunity...
Let's just say that this puppy would be more than welcomed here.
Thank you
(Although, this stupid computer is still the fastest windows machine in the dorm, and faster than some of the macs too. HAH.)
Oh, and this computer matches most of my criteria that I've been searching for for months (ever since this machine started failing). That's a first.
I'm a 22 year old in the US Navy. I normally do 2 month rotations overseas. 2 months out 2 months back and so on. Well I was in the desert 2 rotations ago and had to go fly(aircrew) and find bad guys so I closed me Dell E1705 screen and... forgot to remove my earbuds from on top of the keyboard. The screen spider webbed and they don't make those anymore and on top of that my 2 year warranty had been expired for over a year. I would have bought a nicer laptop but i had to settle on a netbook because money was tight. I'm a gamer and write code on the side when I can be but I am always on the road, whether it be overseas or in a hotel room somewhere (I'm actually writing this from a hotel room in PA because my squadron sent me to a school). I just got back from overseas last month and just found out I'm leaving again in the middle of next month... 2nd Christmas in a row I'll miss, not that I mind to much. I would rather the married guys get to stay home for the holidays.
It would really be appreciated if you would keep me in mind for the laptop.
Thanks a bunch.
This is fantastical. Yes it is. I think this would be the coolest thing in the world if i win this because I never won anything that cost more than $20. When I win things, it is usually like a free croissant or small fry from burger king or mcdonalds. Or a free 12oz soda from coca cola. I enjoy drinking coca-cola from glass bottles because it is much more refreshing than drinking it from a cup, can, or even a plastic bottle.
With Love to OhGizmo,

The computer labs we have at the architecture school are always crowded and finding a workstation is difficult, so I always have to use cad, revit, photoshop, and other modeling and drafting programs on my laptop. I constantly have to juggle apps and freezing/crashing are becoming more and more problematic despite all tech wizardry I work on it to keep it going.
Also the commuting to campus and constant travel with the laptop has created a fragile machine and loud machine. The hard drive is making this audible to me and needs to be replaced, it overheats easily during normal use now as the fan has slowed down, and the hinge for the screen feels as if it is about to fail anyday. It is also quite heavy which does not help matters either.
I have been eying the development of this machine for several months now. The i7 processor, the lighter weight, and the more durable body is what I should have looked for in a laptop all along- and now its here! If only I could get my hands on one......
so yeah I've always wanted a laptop ,but never been able to afford one of any kind :P which really sucks cause I fix laptops on a regular basis for my friends ... :( so I have to drool over them for a week or two and still never have one of my own :'( .
I'm sure there are other more "needy" people out there who want this laptop ... [heck the open source designer giver awayer guy would be a good pick] , I really would be ecstatically happy to win this ....
Good luck to you all, love the site , I really should comment more :) I like that you want the site to be more "user friendly" it seems to be lacking in that area ...
anywho [me and my ADD :]
~Matt
please please please
I want one :)
I need a computer for the bathroom, can't lug my desktop in there, so I need something to entertain me...
Lets just say I am one step from throwing my computer across the room out of frustration.
1. Mobility that would give me the ability to work on on robots to take over the world while not confined to a chair and an old computer. Obviously a notebook is what every robot builder needs, but as a poor college student that is out of my price range.
2. The ability to read Oh Gizmo! in more locations, thus the ability to share this awesomeness to many new people!
Those are my reasons, and congrats to whoever wins.
Hopefully I'll get chosen randomly and win this HP ENVY 15 to regain my confidence in HP once again.

Uhhhh... Okay! Sounds good! Works for me!
Seriously, this is a great website!
Thanks
This notebook would be an awesome addition to me riding the commuter train everyday! Forget about the iPod, lets get the HD movies queued up!
I should win the laptop because I'm a college student with 2 jobs. I never owned a laptop and realize it's a luxury to have one but cannot afford it.
It would be a blessing to myself and my 3 siblings-- we have a really old computer for the family and cannot afford to buy a computer at the current time.
In fact, I have to get off the computer now so my younger brother can use the computer for his homework. Ah, the joy of siblings...
If i won this HP I would be so greatful, as would he since his is alsp begining to go on the fritz. Pick me please!
it would be great to try the new windows 7 on in :D
