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. Here I was coming over to say I’m SO SAD I won’t get to hang with you at Blissdom this year (since we clearly had a good thing going there for a while) but it just wadn’t in the budget for several reasons (most of them fun!) and lo and behold, here’s your fabulous giveaway!

    So anyway, have a Blisstini and think of me 🙂

    And frankly, the best features on those are the size and the built-in wi-fi.

  7. My favorite feature is the size. I would love not having to take my large laptop with me when I travel.

  14. I don’t have a fancy phone with the internet, so obviously I love their size with the Wi-FI!! It would be amazing if I won this!! Thanks for the giveaway and have fun at Blissdom!!

  15. Size (perfect to go in purse, but bigger than an iPhone/iTouch – thank god!) and internet (wifi) capability. How fun!

  16. I think my favorite thing about this is the touch screens. I could really use this and take it anywhere.

  38. Oh very cool! I love the idea of having a touch screen, and definitely the size. My shoulder was killing me at BlogHer from lugging my laptop all over, and for all that I hardly used the thing. I would love to have this one for conferences and events – and wherever! 🙂
