Big News & a Giant Giveaway

*Comments are now closed! Winner will be announced tomorrow!*

So, as I mentioned Monday, it’s BLISSDOM week! Emily and I are leaving for this fab lady-blogger conference tomorrow morning and we can’t wait to hang with our bloggy friends in Nashvegas. But what we didn’t tell you yet is that we have a super-awesome sponsor that is sending us to the conference…none other than Intel! Chances are that the computer you’re using as you read this is powered by an Intel processor – it’s technology we all use every day and Emily & I are thrilled and proud to represent this great brand!

Since we are representing Intel at BlissDom, they figured they’d also send us with some cool products to show the power of Intel technology! So we will be taking two amazing Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs) with us the mbook and the Viliv S7. These are small but fully-functional PC’s with wi-fi, web cams, and everything else you could want in a computer! They are smaller than netbooks, even. To give you an idea of size, here’s the mbook in the palm of my hand:

And the ViLiv S7 next to a pop can (seriously, Emily, is that DIET Mountain Dew?? EEEWW! Why defile such a wonderful soda by removing its sugar!?)

These machines are amazing! They both have touch screens (the screen on the ViLiv even swivels and pivots to become a tablet!) They also both have huge battery lives – 4 hours for the tiny mbook and 9 hours for the ViLiv – wow! I don’t think Emily and I will need to worry about plugging in at BlissDom! They both have fully-functional keyboards, and the mbook uses a stylus for its touchscreen. The ViLiv S7 features a touchpad mouse – or you can just use your fingers on the touchscreen. They also can be used with the Kindle for PC software – so you can download Kindle books on them and use them like a Kindle! HOLLA!

So here’s the REALLY exciting part! Thanks to Intel, we are giving away a UMID mbook featuring the Intel Atom Processor to one lucky reader! It’s the world’s smallest PC and it can be yours!

  3. Oh…I love the size of this computer! It can fit in my purse!!! How fantastic! And I love that it has a 5 hour battery life!!! Oh how I *hope* to win this!!! 🙂

  6. I like that it has full web access & you can do all the things online that you can do with a regular pc. I also like that Kindle feature; I’ve wanted a Kindle forever but this would be so much better.

  15. I subscribe and I am so looking for a new laptop/netbook, something very portable and this looks awesome!!

  20. I don’t know if I’ve been living under a rock, but I’ve never seen this little dandy before! No matter, I’m in love. I’ve been looking at netbooks, but I can’t exactly keep it in my purse. I think that has to be my favorite feature with the mbook.

    Have a great time at Blissdom, it’s my goal to make it there next year!

  21. I love that the mbook is so small! This would be perfect to take to grad classes and not take up room that is needed for all the books I have! Not to mention it would take better notes than the handwritten one’s I’m still taking!

  23. I never knew of this. How cool! I wish I had this for Blissdom. I have a huge laptop so this would come in soooo handy. Wow. I love the size, the battery life and that it functions as a full PC.

  38. Love how small and portable it is! I could slip it in my purse and take it anywhere with me 🙂 I think it’s amazing they can make computers this small.

    Have fun at Blissdom!

  48. These are so awesome! I’ve read your blog for a while now and subscribe in a reader–you guys are hilarious! Hope I win!
