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 would love to get my hands on this guy and hit the road, blogging about my travels. Americ's cup is right around the corner in Dubia, count me in!

I'll be using the laptop on my roadtrip to Oregon/Texas/New York to document as much of my family tree as possible. Going through all my family's boxes of photos to capture and figure out who everyone is before key members still living are gone and their knowledge is taken with them! Tick tock--life is short...

I would use this to help complete a documentary film I'm working on since the multiple features it possesses would be of tremendous help and certainly seem superior to an old Mac I've been using.

I'd take this laptop on the great adventure of finally being able to leave my pc located in my office & do some work from the comfort of my couch in my living room. Hurrah! the freedom!

hmmm, 18 hours battery life. sounds like it would be ideal for taking on offshore fishing trips, key to being able to share actual images of the big one. No more fish tales for me!

I travel to Africa and Mexico regularly to provide medical care to people in rural or underdeveoped/underserved areas. A small, powerful laptop like this would be an amazing tool in health education and disease prevention. I would love to have one of these to bring along with us on our next trip.

not going to lie, im going to be graduating soon from culinary school, and after i graduate i have a change to travel around Italy's country side touring and learning with my chef. My laptop now is from completes 6 years of previous culinary school and just isnt as reliable as it once was, and is eventually going to die. It would mean the world to me if i could accept this new HP ENVY and start stacking together my recipes that i have collected in hopes of launching my own restaurant. Thank You!

If I win this laptop, i would bring it with me everywhere since im a social work student

The HP ENVY would be my always there sidekick for a new project in life blogging.

My goal is to have a laptop and high quality webcam (already own) and take them everywhere that I think something interesting could happen. Perch the cam and laptop in my car for the commute to work, all of my cooking adventures and then the camera mounted on my shoulder and the laptop in my backpack when I'm out and about.

With a wifi card, I could do all of this and stream it live!

I would use it to help grow my newly started contemporary artisan preserves business. I'd put it to work tracking new recipe trials, keeping up with our network of small farmers/growers, tracking new and exciting food trends and, of course, keeping us rockin' as we work through the night cooking and jarring preserves with its awesome sound setup.

Runnin' a small business and we need a new lighweight laptop, particularly one with a long battery life. Sounds like the perfect fit. Would be thrilled to win.

colin Sep 30th 2009 12:42PM

id take this :D

William Fleming Sep 30th 2009 12:44PM

I would take mine back to hawaii where I'd work in earnest on the book i began writing a few months ago.

tom Sep 30th 2009 1:14PM

First! errr, not

bfleming Sep 30th 2009 12:45PM

I would get a lot more work done without so many IMs taking up screen real estate.

Jonathan K. Sep 30th 2009 12:48PM

I'm an aspiring photographer with a penchant for adventure travel! With the power sitting under the Envy's hood, I'll be able to shoot, upload, edit and post my shots to flickr (http://www.flickr.com/photos/jonathank/) so quick that I waste very little time away from new sights and sounds.

I plan on continuing to amass a legendary caliber collection of the finest beats, songs, and masterpieces which I find (beatmine) , share (beatdiffuse) and rock (beatpartay!) and travel 'round the globe, to costa rica and junglethumping solar powered bass through the jungle, India (my personal favorite, gulab jammin'!) and Switzerland (ScandinavaJam). Just as Voodoo has etched their personal style and suave onto the palmrest, I plan to etch my personal savvy and top shelf beats into trees, coffeeshops, nightclubs, and audiophiles around the globe. Let the Beatsharing commence!

This is probably my only chance to steer a kid back on the right path again. My niece's Mac recently experienced a slow agonizing death. This would be a great opportunity to introduce her to the wonderful world of PC's. :-)
