The HP Envy 13 is the new stylish computer from HP and we've got our hands on one to give to you! The 13.1 inch Envy 13 has a sleek aluminum look and a sharp 13.1" HD LED Infinity WS Display (1600x900) screen for rich imagery. It has an eight millisecond response time so that you can view movies with TV-like performance. It is less than an inch thick and weighs 3.74 pounds. Perhaps the biggest lure is the promise of up to 18 hours of battery life.

HP also partnered with Beats™ by Dr. Dre™ to develop a unique audio software solution that's available exclusively on the HP Envy, Beats Audio offers users playing music or audio through headphones or external speakers an optimal sound experience. It has an etched-metal palmrest and a VGA webcam that is optimized for low light. HP QuickWeb allows you to access key applications without booting the PC. In less than 30 seconds, you can reach the Internet, music, videos and photos, and email. It uses Windows 7 Pro (64-bit) and has an Intel Core 2 Duo Processor SL9600 (2.13 GHz). The computer we are giving away has 250 GB (5400RPM )HDD, 5GB DDR3 SDRAM and a Blu-ray ROM w/ DVD+-R/RW. Check out Engadget's first impressions of the Envy 13 here.

I plan on taking my new Envy on a Round The World Trip and blogging about it. I plan to hit Asia, Europe, Africa, Australia, and South America and see has many countries I can in 6 months. Using the Webcam to communicate with family back home. The long battery life will be great for the flights and the sound system would keep me focused as I listen to my music. I look forward to my trip and I hope to win this Envy.

I would take this laptop to law school everyday, in the hope that it would make the whole experience a little less soul crushing given the current economy.

I will take the laptop and try to visit a beach, hopefully somewhere in the Caribbean , as its 6:22am in Phoenix and I have been up all night working on programming......

My fiance and I are getting married in October and for our honeymoon we are going on a European Fjord cruise. I would blog our experiences with pictures and anecdotes from our travel so our friends and families can share in our once-in-a-lifetime experience.

I will be using the laptop start up my new eco-friendly architecture firm. I need a laptop for my on-the-go meetings and this is a nice alternative to a mac (which won't run any of the programs i need it to).

I'd take it with me on my trip to the Mediterranean

I am going to use this laptop to replace my very old current machine (doesn't even have wireless!). I am going surf the net at speeds previously unknown to me, listen to music which does not sound raspy and distant, watch videos and view photos that truly engage me, and be able to connect with all those I know on a more personal, intimate level with the built-in webcam. All of this wherever I want, whenever I want.

Id give this laptop to my fiance so she can plan our wedding on it, then I would take it on our honeymoon in Italy to blog and upload photos of our trip. When we return from our honeymoon, I would put it to work saving the environment through helping me design renewable energy systems.

Would love this. My ThinkPad T20 is getting a bit dated and I'm in sore need of a new laptop.

My daughter could use this for school and all the music and videos she likes to hear and view. Luck please.

nothing dramatic - whether sitting at the local coffee shop (dunn bros) or panera bread, or while finishing up a business presentation, doing it with the Envy seems like it might inspire a little envy. business trips become less painful with the Envy as a companion on the flights - aspiring to Venice while on my way to Liberal, Kansas (look it up seriously....)...envy indeed...
