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!

  10. There are a couple of features that I think are great; but I think the battery life sounds great b/c anyone who has bee writting a post knows a dead battery in the middle of a project totally stinks!

  16. This would be great for my daughter who is in college. She would love the size and how convenient for her to use instead of her laptop.

  19. The size is great. I commute via train 1 hour each way and this would be great to get work done in the small space of the train

  22. Oooh! It’s so tiny and cute! So adorable. I think the only thing that would make it better would be if it came in purple. 😛

  28. What a cool little gadget! I love the smallness of it. It would fit into my handbag easily. As a teacher, I have enough “stuff” to lug around each day.

  36. I love that the mbook offers total web access. I love my iPhone, but it is frustrating when I just need to say, check a grocery ad, and I cant because it doesnt support flash.

  38. I like the size of it and the battery life is pretty great on it also. It says up to 5 hours. could just slip it in my purse to take with me everywhere.

  39. I love the size & portability of this little PC. Plus it has a full keyboard. It could fit in my purse. I could take it to Fashion Week and blog from the runway. And with Intel inside, it would be lightening FAST.
    Pls pick me.!

  42. I love the versatility these products offer – you can literally take them anywhere! Very cool. 🙂

  45. Let me try this again..first time didn’t work. I love the versatility these products offer. You can literally take them anywhere!

  47. I don’t know why it took me so long to do so, but I just signed up for an email subscription to Mommin’ It Up!

    Have fun in NashVegas!!

  48. One more, just subscribed to your blog feed in Google reader. I need to have this in my purse at all time to connect on the web from anywhere! 🙂
    THANKS!

  49. 3rd try is a charm, right? I just posted to my Facebook profile. May the luck of the Irish be with me!! 🙂

  50. Wow. It would be worth sewing a pocket into the lining of my coat to carry it around all the time. Who even needs a bag? Really, a great little portable machine.
