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!

  1. Wooo!

    I love that it’s tiny. I have this really weird obsession with tiny things. My sister and I used to go to the section of the grocery store that has all the miniature shampoos, deodorants, etc and ooo and ahhh over them.

    Oh yeah, we have issues.

  2. I really like the stylus so that I can point to the screen instead of using touch screen with my finger.

  3. I would LOVE this! I’m in grad school, with online classes, and constantly need to be checking and making posts on the discussion boards for class. This would make me mobile again instead of being chained to my desktop or lugging my laptop around!

  7. Oh, I would love to win this mbook. The feature that I like most is that it’s mini (weighing less than a pound) AND the battery life is reasonable (5 hours).

  8. The mbook looks really cool. It would be ideal for traveling to conferences because of its size. Plus, with the webcam, I could video Skype my little guys while I’m gone.

  27. WOW!!! That would be great! The size would be perfect for travel. I have to go away on business a few times a year – and it would be great to keep in touch with my boys at home!!!
