HP Dragon Notebook Giveaway

I would love to win the notebook, but I don’t have listen to online blogs, don’t sign up for any of the crappy sites (my space, facebook, you tube, etc.,) and don’t read blogs.
Since you changed your format to video, I haven’t actually paid attention to anything you have put out. I used to read your old newsletters, now - I read the headline.
I don’t even have speakers on my computer.

This system is incredible! My 1 year old HP Pavilion dv6000 is getting old.. if ya know what I mean :) I think HP is doing a great job by giving these away, they’re doing a great thing for the tech community. However, I wish they would improve their outsourced tech support. It took me an hour and half with foreign tech support because my laptop needed a new battery. They had me run their “HP battery check” like 5 times, but I didn’t even have it installed and insisted I didn’t have it. I eventually just bought a larger battery at the local FRY’s because I didn’t want to deal with them. Anyway, best of luck to all Lockergnome followers on winning!

This is such a nice system. I would love to see one in real life. I wonder if Best Buy’s would have them? I mean you can’t even get a blu-ray player in an Apple computer yet. I’m not bashing macs. I love my iMac. I would love to have this thing to play games on. It would be excellent for running Call of Duty 4 on. And I would even open my Netflix account back up and start renting blu-ray movies. That would be cool. And I would put iTunes on it and rent movies and buy alot of music with a 500 GB hard drive. I can’t imagine having a 500 GB in a laptop. That is awesome.

Great idea by HP, This thing will get allot of attention. Therefore boosting its popularity and name, and its fun for other’s. Look’s like a awesome machine, great specs especially compared to my clunking desktop dinosaur. lol Well best of luck to all, im sure any one would be a proud owner.

Brilliant! This will be my first comment on the Chris Pirillo blog and I cannot think of a more selfish reason to start commenting. Not to say that it is bad to be selfish but I wonder why it took the offer of a fantastic prize to start me commenting as I’ve gain much from watching the videos and reading previous blog entries. Well hopefully my initial greed will be reward by the thought I will have to put into replying to the blog postings even if I do not win the portable PC. Well good luck but echoing my youtube comment “Luck is just probability taken personally” quote by Chip Denman and made famous by Penn Jillette.

This 20.1” HP HDX is something out of a hi-tech thriller. If anyone’s ever read Digital Fortress in “the Da Vinci Code” by Dan Brown, this is the supercomputer they must’ve used to crack the codes. From the “Dragon” namesake decal on the lid to the extended keyboard below, everything about this notebook screams a greater purpose.hope i’ll get this out to find out more about it…

Hi, I’m from Norway and is kind of new to tech. But is learning quickly. I’ve watched the most of your videos :D And I love your tech experience. I would like to win the giveaway. I have a portable Fujitsu Siemens with no ability to swtich from Vista. The OS that I’ve seen that you do not exactly love either. I Love your videos :D And I love your Live stream. I want a HP so i can operate quicly and actually acomplish something with the pc.

My goodness, this is a MONSTER machine.
Thank HP for this, I am sure they will get more attention from geeks.
…If Apple would do a Mac Pro giveaway…=/
Anywho, I think that this 31 days of the dragon, is just amazing.
Pretty happy that this can be outside US also.
I am stunned, when I heard about this I could not believe it.
20.1″ now thats Big!
I think it was Donzimme, or Brigitte that was looking for one like that… Can’t recall…
Well, this is it for my comment, bye bye
-Ruben

Chris, thanks for giving away this incredible machine. It’s great HP is sending out these PCs for blogs and shows like this to give away. It is truly incredible and would love to have it be sitting in front of me now. Thanks for the giveaways, I really appreciate them. I guess I’ll see you later. Bye!

I am very surprised that HP is giving away such a high end system. The HP dragon is the only computer anyone would need. It has a tilting screen for watching movies and the HDTV tuner for watching television. The processor is one of the highest clock speeds I have seen for a mobile computer. The graphics card is quite good with 512Mb of dedicated memory. The system is AMAZING. I have wanted to get my hands on one of HP’s higher-end models and never have been given the chance due to economic issues with my family.

And Chris, your blog is amazing. I like almost every topic put out there and I am subscribed to the youtube channel. I love watching your videos and hearing your tips and tricks on tech. I just love it and I have not found another youtube channel that will ever have your status or genius on youtube.

Thanks Chris!!

Sincerely,
Justin

Calling this monster a ‘dragon’ is an understatement. Seriously. Other than the monstrosity of its size, its specs are just bloody damn amazing. Looks like the folks at HP went shopping for the best of the best parts out there and smacked them all into a huge notebook!

Heck, I agree that it shouldn’t even be called it a laptop. Portable desktop, anyone?

Imagine the possibilities on this thing. Crysis with minimal lag. Graphic design with that resolution. Blu-ray movies on its 20.1″ screen. The amount of music on that 500 Gig drive. *Gaspeth!*

Either way, HP has done a great job both on the laptop (oops) and on the campaign. I wouldn’t have heard about the dragon if not for this!

Now if you’d excuse me.. WOW!

this monster laptop really is a dragon, you forgot to mention if it had any tattoo’s … i bought a hp laptop last year because it had a great price point for all it provided, hp as grown over the years and it’s recent line of computers, both desktop and laptop, really show their quality, they come packed with features and my laptop even had a tattoo, a cool graphic design on the outside, with a glossy black paint job … great job hp and kudos for making computers like these … look out alienware! make way for the dragon!!

I think apple should have used this sort of deign on their iMacs instead of using the same thing they had or 3 years. Although the iMac now is just like having a computer inside the monitor, it is the heaviest monitor you’ll ever have.

That Laptop is absolutely for people who is always on the go. That laptop should be given to somebody who edits videos and photos and who works with a big buisness and that person travels a lot for buisness. mostly a person who works with a big buisness, travels alot, does a lot of photo and video editing, does the live stream and has a lot of work files.

I really like some of HP’s new hardware. The Blackbird especially since I’ve been looking for a new gaming rig lately. It’s a bit pricey, but the box is sweet looking (killer components too).

Awesome content Chris! A great way to spark interest, I know I for one will be watching your posts!

Hey LaaaBaseBall I have the same computer lol. This has gotta suck for chris having to give this computer away but its pretty sweet for us having the chance to win. Winning this computer would be awesome. I agree with ruben32 apple needs to do something similar maybe then i could win a mac and finally be happy since i’ve been wanting to buy one for so long but haven’t yet.

I was just looking over the specs of the HP dragon and boy its a beast of a machine. This machine will chew up my desktop and then spit fire at me for purchasing it. Anyhow, I was wondering who would be afraid to carry this laptop around with them in public such as B&N, library or any hotspots. To have so much power and a larger screen, you will need to a rolling book bag to save your back. Just powering the laptop would be like turning on a plane engine, which will be sure to turn heads 360 degrees among everyone else’s puny Honda civic laptops. With all the power what specs you think are missing? First off all, wears the magnetic force field to protective me from potential robbers. No really, where the wimax? Is the screen a LED or not? Heck the battery size may be the size of me center speaker on my surround surround sound. Any how whats your opinion? What should be added if not already?

I say wimax and possible LED screen.

Also, replying to Ruben32, I agree. Apple should have giveaways like this. It’ll only increase there technological footprint.

I like how Chris tries to inspire higher quality conversation on the internet.

That’s a monster PC.

I really would like to have one of that. and i am really happy that I can also join the give away for I live in the philippines and I only own a mid range PC.

I am a great fan of chris and have watched Tech TV a long time ago.

Pretty cool that you’re doing these things and keep up the good work.

This is my comment - zeldascorn

I’m rather surprised Engadget isn’t included in this. They often are the subjects of tech giveaways.

My first real computer (other than my Tandy Coco Max 3 which had about as much processing power as my big toe) was an HP with Windows 95. I don’t remember that specs and storage capacity of that desktop, but obviously it was MINUSCULE compared to this juggernaut of a notebook. It’s incredible how far technology has advanced in such a short amount of time. I wonder how hot it gets though! It’s so beautiful of a machine, I’d almost be afraid to take it out of the house, which of course defeats the purpose.

I saw your YouTube movie “HP Dragon Notebook Giveaway” and I see now that alot of people made commenst ^^ Hope that some one that really needs it win it!
I checked that HP dragon computer out on http://www.hp.com and this would be really nice to have! Like look at this : “Processor type: Intel® Core™ 2 Extreme Processor X7800. 2.60 GHz, Level 2 cache 4 MB, 800MHz FSB.” How good isnt that? And also: “Internal hard disk drive: 400 GB (2 x 200 GB)” that would be nice to have :D
First of all the change of wining this is like 0.0000001% and why are you giving this out? I would keep it! Its like the best laptop ever!
I think that the movies you do is great! It often helps me out or my friends and I hope that you wont stop making them :D

Well hope the most needed get the computer! Good luck all!

I am normally a mac user now that i have switched over. Having said that i still find I need a windows computer for some things that i get in to. just where its hat 90% of the world uses.

This computer would be an amazing way to fill that gap. it sounds like an amazing computer. So why is this the first i have herd of it?

Listening to the specs that Chris read out in the video I think that I have came to the conclusion that is one of the most powerful portable computers I have yet met. It looks professional and something that a geek would murder for!

Great job HP!

Damn, sitting in the channel and soaing up the know-how of computers isn’t enough? =P i better get commenting…. This machine is god… It can play games like Crysis fluently on medium graphics with a screen that big… i doubt the averge person’s desktop in this community could do that =P

What’s the difference between laptop and notebook? Did they tell you you’re not allowed to keep it yourself? Is it worth the viewers you’re going to get from this?

This is very awesome of HP to give away so many and to give everyone a whole month of chances to win it.

I seriously want to thank you for saying that you are not going to be reviewing the notebook. I would certainly love to get your opinion on it but it’s just something about people who are asked to give something away and then take it upon themselves to selfishly try it out before they do so.

After watching your video from the RSS feed I went to a few sites and was massively disappointed to find most of the sites I looked at say they are going to be reviewing it and in fact some had already taken it out and reviewed it before even announcing the fact that they are giving it away.

I know the notebook is a monster and I would love to get it from any of the sites regardless of them reviewing it or not but the fact that they took it out and used it makes it less meaningful and lowers my excitement to win it from them. Of course, I’d still take it but it’s the principal of it.

The notebook sounds wonderful but the solution to getting it is not available to some of us. I am still in the dark ages with my phone company. You know the one “Can you hear me now”. They do not have any decent line out this road so all I can get is slow dial up and U-Tube is out of the question. I can’t download or do any streaming. Tried a one minutes video and after 13 minutes of trying to get the one minute one, had to give up. Please don’t forget us out here that need information in a form to read and not just listen to.

wow 20.1” HP HDX,omg i have the oldest laptop i have a thinkpad (0_o)
ahah but what ever works! this notebook is really powerful. well are famliy isnt really making it financially but every thing is fine. were all happy! this notebook is too nice for any of us! but we all look up to you keep on steaming.

*drools* i think i found my future wife, in a computer . lol. ah the joys of the internet, free computers and contests. i would love to get my hands on that when i go back to school this fall

Wow, What an upgrade this will be to the computer that I currently use. My current, or should I more accurately say, antiquated, computer is a Toshiba Tecra 8100. It was purchased approximately 10 years ago, when the CD and DVD were a brand new animal in our animal kingdom. Needless to say, it is quite a bore in comparison to the amazing beast of a machine that you are dangling on a stick and string, in front of the cart that I am pushing to get at it.

The vast attributes of the HP ‘Dragon’ will no doubtingly enhance my entertainment options from the system that I dreadfully use now. It will give me a much greater viewing screen to watch TV, with its integrated HP HDTV Hybrid TV Tuner as well as allow me to utilize blu-ray technology to watch movies like I have never seen before.

With its package of pre-loaded productivity applications like Microsoft’s Office 2007, I can create a multitude of document and presentations. Corel’s PaintShop Pro, Photo X2 and Corel’s Painter 4, I can edit and develop beautiful pictures to show my family, friends and co-workers. Ulead’s VideoStudio 11.5 Plus will allow me to produce and manipulate video productions that I will create, on the fly, anywhere at any time.

With my new HP Pavilion HDX ‘Dragon’ I will become the productive man I always thought that I can be. I can create, play and entertain myself and others with ease, as was designed by Hewlett-Packard.

As the owner of a Dell Latitude D620 with a broken HD atm, I would love to win this monster. Just reading the specs on it, this thing beats my desktop PC which isn’t too shabby itself and it can’t be carried around (albeit at a little hassle) but who wouldn’t want to walk into starbucks with this thing, whip it out and start playing crysis (well maybe not, but you get the point). And having a 20 monitor I might as well throw away the desktop and use this thing with a second monitor. Jeez looking forward to being in the chat and hopefully I’ll be walking away with this thing.

Hey Chris, interesting to see another laptop Giveaway, around the same time you did one last year if I recall. Coincidence much? :P That machine seems like one heck of a laptop…. it deserves the Title DeskLaptop because of the 20.1″ screen. It wouldn’t be exactly a laptop I would “carry Around” for light use, it would be a laptop I would put to heavy use because of its specs, and probably more than likely keep on a dock or something.
Anyway, I would love to win that rig of a laptop, and keep up the great work Chris

This is one of the best advertising campaigns that I have seen from a tech company ever. I mean, the money they put out to give away 31 of these nice machines they could have easily spent elsewhere like on TV spots. But this is much more effective per dollar because now this contest (and HP’s brand) is all over the web, and on everyone’s lips. I need a college laptop for next year. I’d love to win this (perhaps to sell it for a lighter Thinkpad more suitable to college, but don’t tell Chris I said that.)

That is a very nice machine. I would really like to have it. It is really nice for HP to help out the community with a machine like that. This should be a interesting next 27 days. Well I wish everyone the best of luck with winning this laptop. Oh yeah before I go, Chris Pirillo maybe for the next giving away HP could just give you the laptop. Thanks again for the chance to win an amazing laptop like that. Have a good day everyone.

Wow this is a great machine, and the Blu-Ray player is making my mouth water! I’ve been looking at this computer for some time now, and I’ve been making more and more videos/pictures/playing more games. I know that this computer could do it all and so much more. 500 GB Hard drive! Holy cow! I also have been writing more and more complex programs (available for free at grantgumina.googlepages.com ) and I know this computer could handle it all really well. Just want to say one more thing, “Thanks HP for giving this thing away!”

Chris,

This is a great computer! Wow. I have been writing more and more complex programs, and my laptop just doesn’t have the power to write some of these programs. With this computer I could write tons of programs! Wow it is great. 500 GB hard drive, 4 GBs of RAM, 20.1 inch screen. Thanks HP for giving this thing away!

Chris,

This is absolutely crazy! I’m absolutely excited about this giveaway. I find it quite coincidental that you are giving away an HP because I was just looking into buying one for school next year. So, if I win this contest, I’ll be extremely happy.

I’ve heard great things about this notebook. I would love to have it. As far as your wanting to have this computer: if I win it, maybe we can make a deal :)

Thanks for doing this.

Yours sincerely,

J.T.

HP is definitely a leader in PC based media. I am always impressed with the amount of applications they offer everytime I check them out at Best Buy. Jim– I too find it surprising that Apple hasn’t yet offered a Blu-Ray player. The only issue I have with HP is the plasticy feel that is predominate on many of their notebooks.

Hey, chris i am fairly new to your videos
but ive watched alot of em and it id a well something i do every day
and i am on irc alot
and iom so sorry that you cant have that extremely great computer
that thing is awesome
Any ways yeah itd be nice to win
Hp has made a nice turn into the extreme side of things
Anywyas this is cool and my youtube name and irc name is
playsmartplay so if anyone wants to say hi

Wow what a laptop! i cant Believe they ca fit all that stuff into such a small computer. i cant believe your giving it away! hahaha its pretty amazing. i would also like to thank you chris for providing me with a great place to find everything i need to know about technology

I think I run on the other end of the tech community. I don’t recognize any of the other blogs that HP is giving these things to to give away. Geekbrief has always been HP supporters, I wish they were giving away one too. I have see this thing for a while now. It looks like a super powerful computer. I have never had a windows computer before, but maybe I could sell it and buy a macbook pro. This is my second comment on Chris’ blog (EVER) I think I share those selfish feelings that someone was talking about.

A lot of people think a machine of this size and weight is typical American huge and gluttonous. I tend to think this class of machine will do well for the type of people who need this power, size and portability and this class seems to be growing.

LAN Parties. Tell me this is not a great gaming machine for a LAN Party.

DV pros. The HD capable resolution of the LCD is required for a mobile workstation for handling HD video, along with the dual hard drives.

Small Apartments, Room renters. Perfect size to have a powerful machine in a small space. You can have that all-in-one computer and TV.

Consultants. Your average consultant moves workplaces constantly. If this person needs a large screen and power, this machine is great to have. Not something you may see at a Starbucks, actually I bet someone is using this as a normal laptop somewhere.

Think of all the scenarios where someone wants the power and features of a desktop but moves their computer on a regular basis. Bottom line if you need a portable powerhouse, you cannot go wrong with an HP HDX.

Well, as specs should be great, but if comes with Vista, it will be slow. Reconsider, after all its a present, doesn’t mater…

Unfortunatly, I do not like to “hear” or “see” an technical article. A demo, like breakins sound barrier, I like to see a craft doing, but speaking how better should be… a biger hdd… NO, I do not mind that the data on cable is thousands times over the necessary - this is just like watching TV, but I apreciate that some geeks are so lazy that want to publish speaking in front of a mike or camera… And if I like the subject, I can save it easily. How about saving an one hour conference, insteead of few kilobites having hundreds of Megabites. Maybe once in a while, but not so often…

So, I’ll think how to gain a bunch of $s to buy one like it (last year Dell have a “game” laptop hotter than this one for about $8.000), no chances to win - if I don’t play :-((

Oh god, stop! I can’t hear any more, it’s to much. I was at school when I read this and none of my geek friends were around so no one understood why there was saliva all over the keyboard.

Sorry to hear that you are again limiting your sweepstake to a chosen few
of your Newsletter Subscribers. I have been one of your subscribers for
many years (way back before even the first Gnomedex. Currently, I am
much like Daniel Lovejoy, I don’t have listen to online blogs, don’t sign up for any of the crappy sites (my space, facebook, you tube, etc.,) and don’t read blogs. I do try to get something out of your Newsletter. But,
I will never, apparently, have the opportunity to participate in one of your
giveaways, which, apparently, are intended only for a chosen few.

This thing is crazy! I can imagine myself whipping this bad boy out at school and have people laugh their heads off! Seriously though, I would probably use it in my room as a “desktop” that I would be able to take to friends houses. It would be great to have a computer that can actually play today’s modern games (Call of Duty or GTA anyone???)

I am eleven and i am starting to really pick up tech and every thing you say is helpful a year ago i wouldn’t understand the tech specs so you have really helped me. thankyou and good luck giving the notebook to me :)

This giveaway is one of the best i seen they have a lot of fakes out there. I never signed up for them but i know one is real. I haven’t really had a hp before but i did reviews on the and the seem like great computer and the specification on this computer are amazing. On the vista I’m not really sure i found reviews that say its good and some that say it not that good.I never had vista before but looks cool and seem like it will meet my needs. I’m one Of those people that don’t really like to put done a product unless i try it fir myself. But wait really amazing on this machine i like the most is the cpu, ram and 20″ screen. That will do some awsome gaming.

I just recently subscribed to your youtube channel about 3 months ago and i have already watched all of your videos.I am very much into technology myself and I am currently working on making an electrical car that does not se any fossil fuels. This has proven to be some what difficult because my 10 year old IBM, which is about 956mhz, makes it very difficult to do any of my designs on it. I am very short on money these days and when i saw your video on youtube i knew that i had to have this beautiful system. This system will help me reach my goals of creating this new electrical car.

HP is ****, First I had one of their ink jet printers, after the millions of paper jams and trouble shooting the softwear I threw the piece of junk out. A couple of years ago I bought one of their high end digital cameras and the thing died just before the warrenty ran out so I sent it back to get fixed and they sent me a beat up recon job back less the memory chip that I left in it, it broke down after a month and it was too bad as far as HP was concerned.I will never spend good money on a HP peiece of **** again!!!!

i never knew notebooks as powerful as that ever existed. all i’m saying is that i’ve always thought macbook pros are considered top-of the line and i can’t find more notebooks as faster that that. i’ve always liked HP. more reasons to like HP i guess.

This is a schweet system. I’m so glad I picked up a 64-bit version of Windows XP pro before the deadline hit. Because in the future if I say win a laptop which probably won’t happen, but also if I get a new laptop somewhere between 2009-infinite because I love windows xp. I can’t believe you were one of the 30 they picked. Ok thanks chris.

Man, I wish I had one of those. Those note books are so powerful, with their Blu-Ray and 4 GB RAM. I need one of those BADLY. i bout some Dell back in 2003 and its dieing out. It freezes up every 5 minutes and you have to re-boot it. I NEED THE POWER OF THE DRAGON!!!

Wow. That might convince me to try a Windows machine for the first time in my life.

First off.. I have to say brilliant. As most of you already know Chris does giveaways on a weekly basis. But this is simply amazing. Please leave an intelligent comment on each of Chris Pirillo’s blog posting from not until May 29th 2008. Hope to see everyone that night @live.pirillo.com

Cheers!

Yes, MY HP is getting old now, well not really since I am updating it now. It’s a desktop but I would really like a laptop due to the fact that I would like an extra screen to be sitting right next to me so I could multi task. Plus this laptop is one great laptop. That’s all there is to it. Just look at the specs. This is probably the most expensive notebook that I have ever seen. Probably also the most powerful. And the great thing is, I can use it for gaming. Nvidia Geforce 8800, the amazing processor, those specs are better then mine and I have a desktop. Although HP is not my favorite computer manufacturer but it’s still pretty decent and it gets the job done.
All I can say is, good luck to everyone else in the race/competition for this amazing computer. (May the best man/woman win? :P XD)

I just read this post earlier, Chris, and I am VERY amazed that you are doing this! This is a great incentive to anyone who needs a new laptop and loves having da powuh in a small case(a!). Looks promising, sounds promising, can’t wait!

Don’t be tempted to open it, Chris!

This is a nice system! I have been looking for a new notebook to take on photo shoots. This looks like it would fit the bill. if I don’t win one, I will definately be purchasing one!

Thats just about as good as my desktop, holy cow! I’m absolutely in LOVE with HP and a notebook of this quality by them would be a dream come true for me!! All I can say is YES PLEASE :D

Congrats on getting picked to give it Chris :)

My first question has to be this..

With a machine with this sort of power, is there likely to be a problem with overheating? My current laptop has that problem. Anytime I run programs that use a moderate amount of system resources, the computer seems to overload and shuts down…. and lest I be misunderstood, I don’t mean that it enters a shutdown protocol and turns off properly. No, it simply goes black. I don’t know exactly what causes it, but I would like to know what measures exist in the Dragon to keep such from happening.

I think this will help HP get the word out about there laptops. I don’t know much about them. I do like my Desktop by HP and the aftercare that HP has. Its great of HP to pass these laptops along to be given away. I would say everyone has there thoughts about how a product is good or bad. Mine has a good report as far as my HP desktop. A new laptop from HP would be a nice addition…..

Hey Chris!

When I first saw the computer on your desk I immediately began to salivate. Your knowledge of computers is all to amazing, so it was obvious that what was on your desk was the perfect notebook. Right now, I am writing this comment from my own notebook, an Aspire 5000, which is pretty good, but its already starting to fall apart on me after about 2 years (and maybe another half) of use. The batteries are almost dead with about a thirty minute charge, and the fan is so dead that I can’t have it running for more than ten minutes without the computer getting so hot, I can practically fry eggs on it… Oh, and then it overheats.

I am a person who never wins anything. Okay, well, a bottle of maple syrup once at my grandmother’s square-dancing club (long story, don’t ask). I don’t want to brag and be a drama queen, but I have gone through many hardships in my life, and with my commitment to become a computer or software engineer in the future, I need something to help me with my studies. This computer would be perfect, for that, and more.

Anyways I know this is random, so I hope I am the lucky person to win this notebook. Great videos on Youtube! Always a big fan!

Sincerely, Chris (Macinmaniac)

With a more than $5,000 laptop what could I possibly do? Well, I could burn a CD for my technologically challenged sister, while checking the latest news, while rendering an animation, while encoding a video, while looking up cheats for the game that I was playing which is now minimized and running perfectly despite all the backgrounds tasks. Yeah…I could do that no problem.
Basically I’m saying this is a giant leap up from the current laptop my family owns. Let’s just hope that this beast doesn’t have the wireless issues other Pavillion notebooks had…
http://www.pcmech.com/article/big-problems-with-wireless-in-hp-pavilion-notebooks/

Now this looks to be a nice notebook/desktop PC. It has all the specs anyone would want in a semi-portable laptop, but I do have some concerns that I would like to address. Especially for those gamer people.

1. Operating system: Genuine Windows Vista Ultimate (64-bit)
(Some people may not want to run Vista Ultimate 64bit. We all know that as 64bit OS Microsoft creates has limited driver support. I havn’t looked to see if HP gives you the option for 32bit.)

2. Hard Drive: 500GB 5400RPM SATA Dual Hard Drive (250GB x 2)
(This strikes me in a weird way. Why have all those other nice specs, but only have 5400RPM Hard Drives? Is that a limit to the small size of laptop hard drives? Personally for a semi gaming rig like this one, I would like to have atleasts 7200RPM hard drives. Having the dual hard drives is a nice perk though.)

3. Graphics Card: 512MB NVIDIA GeForce 8800M GTS
(Now why just one of these crazy cards? Alienwares 17inch Laptop has pretty much the same specs, but has dual SLI 8800M GTS. )

And with the price tag of an estimated $4500, I would expect more from this machine. What are you thoughts?? It may just be the way I look at it, what do you think this system should, or shouldn’t have?

This is definitely a very nice system. HP did a wonderful thing by letting thirty-one websites give these away. I, like probably all of the people commenting, are in it to win it. I have commented on Chris’s site before. But lets face it, the chances of winning this thing are slim. Don’t get me wrong, I would love to win it as much as the next, it’s just that Chris, has lot’s of youtube subscribers, lots of people in his live chat, and many watching his RSS. I give the best of luck to everyone, lol. But I hope I win.

Oh wow. That’s a sick notebook! I’m glad it’s available worldwide. I live in South Korea.

I think that the HP dragon notebook giveaway is a great idea. At the risk of sounding selfish, i would like to win the notebook considering i dont have a computer of my own. Also i think that chris pirillo did a great job in setting up this competition and even if i dont win it i am glad i gave it my best shot.

There is no doubt that this system is simply amazing! I can’t believe HP is giving away so many of these top notch systems; in light of that, this might be one of the best directed audience advertising campaigns ever…

Just on my last comment there i would like to congratulate everyone and wish them the best aswell and would just like to say, we all have an equal chance so if u feel like it was rigged and unfair just because you didnt get it then i feel thatmaybe u really are a bit to selfish.

This is definitely not a laptop you want to carry around, but of course we still want it. I have seen one in person and the dual lamp the lcd has, makes the image look so much crisper and vivid. HD in this thing is a thing to behold! Now like I said, I don’t think it would be that great of an idea to carry it around as it weighs close to 25 pounds. I think would use it as a media center and to take on lan parties. You know, strut my geek stuff!

Chris that is a MONSTER computer. Seriously… 20.1′! That scratches it from your normal notebook pc ha ha how would you like to lug that around?

The Dragon haha I like that, my colleges mascot is a dragon, MSUM Dragons. Our teams suck but this computer sure doesn’t.

I think it’s great that the internet has taken off at such an amazing level allowing things like this and webcam giveaways to be possible.

Keep up the good work Chris and I’ll be sure to tune in on the 29th. :^)

Have a good one.

I desperatly need this elegant peice of technology, and thank you chris for giving me a chance to win this elegant piece of tech. I think HP made a great job putting a desktop in a laptop and it seems like a great home theater machine, especially with the BD drive. I want one and im prepared to win.

That is indeed an awesome and insane piece of equipment. I can only dream of having one of those. *drool* I have lotsa computer magazines and brochures that I stare and browse thru almost everyday just to amuse myself and be awe on the new components on the market. Hopefully, i get lucky this time. I couldn’t remember when I actually won on a draw for anything. But hey, you’ll never win if you don’t join.

This is a great promotion from HP and to get the word out on this new product. Hopefully other companies can follow suit with this strategy. I think it’s very generous coz for people like me who cannot really afford such high-performance machine may luckily get the chance to actually get it. :-> plllleeasseeee make me winnnn…dear God..:>

Yeah, I’d say that machine looks sufficient to replace my parents’ Pentium III. :OP

I find it interesting that HP has decided to do this. I did a little research and the word on the street is that HP might not sell that many of them…. but that the HP Dragon would help HP sell its other laptops.

Apparently the theory goes like this:

1) Customer walks into the store and sees the amazing HP Dragon.
2) Customer realizes that he cannot afford the HP Dragon.
3) Customer decides to buy a less expensive HP computer because he was so impressed by the HP Dragon.

How’s that for clever marketing? :O)

Yes this is a beauty, though your right to say its not a notebook (20″ screen, yeesh!). Still this may replace my other Hp I have had. Good move by Buzz Corp to help out with the Taxes for those who may need help

Chris,
When HP created this portable pc (ha,ha) with a 20.1 inch screen and 4GB of ram this notebook with rock most any other notebook out of the water! There is no way that this notebook can be upgradeable in anyway at this point in technology. I want to thank you for all the support you provide and have a blessed week and those to come.

P.S.
I just recently become my own member, however me and my boyfriend reddogg2020 listen to you live all the time we work from home and this would be great for my Life insuance business

Hi! Chris I like your ringtone! I wish I have a ringtone like yours too! And I wish that I have a mic… (because currently, I don’t have a mic) The giveaway laptop is so nice… I would love to have that! It’s specs are so nice, since it’s running in 4GB of RAM I bet it’s fast! (EVEN THOUGH IT HAS VISTA ON IT) And you became my inspiration, other people I idolize are tech-geeks (like you), entertainers and animators. You are included in that very list. Oh, bye the way… I live in the Philippines… is there a chance for me to get the giveaway even though I’m in the Philippines? I really like your show!
P.S. Do you have a solution for for the SOHANAD worm???
Do you have mic giveaways intead of a laptop?(because I already have a computer all I need is a mic)
PEACE OUT!!!

First of all, I would like to thank HP and all of it’s supporters from Buzzcorps for letting all of us geeks out there have an opportunity like this to enhance our lives and give us the edge we al
