Win an HP Envy 15 Notebook!

HP Envy15 - rear leaft facing on white

By David Ponce

Yeah, you read that right. Christmas is early here at OhGizmo! and for one lucky reader it’ll really pay to read us. HP has kindly decided to giveaway one of their new Envy 15 notebooks and we’re going to make it really easy to win.

But first off, a little about this notebook.

· This is HP’s fastest consumer notebook and the world’s thinnest, lightest quad-core notebook PC.

· It offers maximum speed and mobility with the upcoming Intel® Core™ i7 Processor and up to 16GB of DDR3 1066 MHz system memory with four SODIMM memory slots.

· Versatile storage options include the ability to add two solid-state drives in a RAID-0 configuration to improve the overall speed of the ENVY 15 while providing ultimate disk performance.

· A choice of two 15.6” HP Brightview high-resolution LED backlit displays, including the Full High Definition LED HP Ultra BrightView Widescreen Display with up to 300 nit, provides the best display experience for a notebook in this class.

We aren’t sure about the final configuration on this one, but guys, it’s free so let’s not get picky.

So how do you win? Easy. Our regular readers might have noticed we’re making a push to get a community and commenting going on the site. With the amount of readers we have, we should have a lot more than we do. So this giveaway is another one along those lines. Simply leave a comment on this article telling us why you’d like to win this. And that’s it. Sadly, it’s US only, but we’re working on another giveaway that will be open to the world, so stick around, world. We’ll pick a winner by the 22nd, this week, and yes it’ll be randomly chosen. One entry per reader, and yes we’ll be checking to make sure. Finally, don’t fret if your comment doesn’t appear immediately, it’s just caught in moderation and will be released shortly.

Good luck!

    I want to win it because my laptop is so old the letters on the keyboard have faded!!! please!!!!

    I would not only like to win this fabulously awesome hp laptop, though winning in itself is pretty awesome, but I would love to have this amazingly spectacular laptop because it has everything. A large bright beautiful LED screen. So now its brighter and i can save battery life because its LED instead of LCD. It's super portable which is a definite plus to carry around to class, work, back home, and maybe even when i take vacations with my family. I could use it to keep it touch with all my friends, via webcam, internet blogs, twitter, or facebook. If I decide not to i can always watch movies in Hi-Def! how great is that?! It is definitely useful if I'm away from home I can simply upload pictures of my day without having to wait until i get home to do so. Also it will be great to edit my photos and videos. Back home i can still take this to class and all my books because it's that ultra portable and awesome. I can do homework between classes, do some CAD drafting while at school or work, or even if i have to vacation. It has a super fast processor that I don't have to wait for it to slowly render like i do now. It also has so much hard drive space i don't have to worry about deleting stuff. Also the design itself is super awesome, sleek and sexy! thanks ohgizmo.com and HP for this fantastic chance to win a fantastic computer!

    having a laptop would provide flexibility in my telecommute tech support job. could work from the backyard, or even the beach.

    I need this laptop because i tripped over the power cord on my hp tablet last week knocking it off the table and now the screen wont display anything.

  • richcastimore

    A new laptop from Giz would make the perfect and unduplicatable Christmas gift for my son! And what beter way to keep up to date on all the great Oh Gizmo! news all day!

  • Lammy2004

    I do not ask, no; I demand a contest for Germans only. As a frequent reader I feel discriminated. Well maybe it could be open for others as well, but I have to think of my chances aswell.

    So long

    I will use a Haiku to express my future love to the HP Envy 15

    Laptops are quite nice
    Free laptops are much better
    Laptop, I love you.

  • Xombie

    I'd love to win so that I have a laptop to bring to college next year, rather than lugging my massive PC!

    Good luck everyone!

    I would like to win because I have no computer at college and have to live in the lab. People smell down here.

  • perfectfire

    I have 2 old laptops. On one the battery is dead and the charging cable disconnects if you move it slightly. The other's speakers don't work and the aftermarket battery is loose and disconnects if you move the computer sometimes.

    I need a good laptop to do some astrophotography with. Not that it helps, but to the random-number generator maybe astronomical aspirations matter.

  • SlapstickJudas

    I need this because I am a teacher and I would love to be able to take this too my classes to run multimedia lessons since I am pretty sure it will actually run the basics like PowerPoint, unlike the computer I have to deal with now!

  • sharpy36

    I would like to win this laptop because it is an awesome laptop, and I can't afford to pay for it xD

    Hi everybody,
    I'm an italian guy and I frequent university course of computer engineering in Ferrara but I'm not able to buy a laptop that is obviously required. I'll be the most happy guy in the world if i will win this fantastic laptop. Thank you for the opportunity…

  • vargr

    My current laptop is 6 years old, misses a bunch of keys and runs steamingly hot, that is whenever it decides to turn on.
    Let's just say that this puppy would be more than welcomed here.
    Thank you

    I just want it and will never be able to pay for it, so there it goes!

  • btom51579

    I'm a deaf grad student and my laptop is almost six years old. That said, other commenters seem to deserve it more so it's okay if I don't win, which in probabilistic terms, I probably won't. But it's nice to hope. Good luck everyone else.

    I want this laptop because it's free, and my laptop is 4 years old, was carried daily for 3 years, and still travels almost everywhere with me, and is showing the strain. As is, every part except the motherboard has been replaced within the past 15 months. The motherboard was replaced two years ago. (Although, this stupid computer is still the fastest windows machine in the dorm, and faster than some of the macs too. HAH.)

  • Gingervitis

    I want to win because I am a redhead and I can't go out into the sun. So I need a laptop to keep me indoors and safe.

    Hey OhGizmo,
    I’m a 22 year old in the US Navy. I normally do 2 month rotations overseas. 2 months out 2 months back and so on. Well I was in the desert 2 rotations ago and had to go fly(aircrew) and find bad guys so I closed me Dell E1705 screen and… forgot to remove my earbuds from on top of the keyboard. The screen spider webbed and they don’t make those anymore and on top of that my 2 year warranty had been expired for over a year. I would have bought a nicer laptop but i had to settle on a netbook because money was tight. I’m a gamer and write code on the side when I can be but I am always on the road, whether it be overseas or in a hotel room somewhere (I’m actually writing this from a hotel room in PA because my squadron sent me to a school). I just got back from overseas last month and just found out I’m leaving again in the middle of next month… 2nd Christmas in a row I’ll miss, not that I mind to much. I would rather the married guys get to stay home for the holidays.
    It would really be appreciated if you would keep me in mind for the laptop.
    Thanks a bunch.

    I was unfortunate enough to buy the dreaded crappy mobo pavilions. After years of soldering and jury-rigging the thing, I've given up. Can your random robot happenstance upon my comment and solve my problems?

    though it seems that you are going to pick a random winner, i still would like to explain why i am commenting and why this computer would be put to good use if i was selected. i have only become aware of ohgizmo in the recent months, but find myself checking it regularly. i enjoy the items highlighted here and the commentary attached to each. i am commenting really on behalf of a married couple who are friends of mine and live in pemba, mozambique. they have been there for over a year and have been building a program to train orphans that are moving into adulthood with life skills and helping them to build sustainable small businesses. they are fortunate to have internet access on site but have been working with subpar hardware (aging laptop) and this gift would mean so much in their efforts. one of their top needs right now is reliable communication with the states as they move forward with their work. i would love to receive a brand new piece of computing hardware and immediately forward it to pemba. thanks.

    Sweet laptop! Would love to replace an ancient ASUS with this fantastic HP. Thanks to Oh Gizmo!

    I would like to win this because I am in college. And it is nice to have nice things in college because college students dont usually have the money to have nice things. This would be a really nice thing to have. I love computers, because computers are nice. If computers weren't nice, I wouldnt really want such a nice laptop like this fantastic HP Envy 15! This would be really awesome. I love OhGizmo for the articles that most gadget websites dont post until days later. Which is awesome. I would probably use the laptop to use the internet and visit OhGizmo, and play games, and edit videos.

    This is fantastical. Yes it is. I think this would be the coolest thing in the world if i win this because I never won anything that cost more than $20. When I win things, it is usually like a free croissant or small fry from burger king or mcdonalds. Or a free 12oz soda from coca cola. I enjoy drinking coca-cola from glass bottles because it is much more refreshing than drinking it from a cup, can, or even a plastic bottle.

    With Love to OhGizmo,
    Kyle “Danger” Xtreme

    I need this laptop to complete my world domination plans.

  • no_sweat

    I'd like to win because my lappy has had a broken screen for a couple months (using an external monitor now), just waiting for Win 7 to come out before buying a new lappy. Was planning on the HP HDX16 but it doesn't come with Win 7 … and the Envy's are super expensive :( I haven't decided which I'm going to get yet (if I don't win this, of course) :)

    I am in my 4th of college (3rd year architecture) and I have been using the same laptop since I started.
    The computer labs we have at the architecture school are always crowded and finding a workstation is difficult, so I always have to use cad, revit, photoshop, and other modeling and drafting programs on my laptop. I constantly have to juggle apps and freezing/crashing are becoming more and more problematic despite all tech wizardry I work on it to keep it going.
    Also the commuting to campus and constant travel with the laptop has created a fragile machine and loud machine. The hard drive is making this audible to me and needs to be replaced, it overheats easily during normal use now as the fan has slowed down, and the hinge for the screen feels as if it is about to fail anyday. It is also quite heavy which does not help matters either.
    I have been eying the development of this machine for several months now. The i7 processor, the lighter weight, and the more durable body is what I should have looked for in a laptop all along- and now its here! If only I could get my hands on one……

  • mattmitch

    oooh oooh pick me …. yeah well I'd like to win this cause I just realized my last win was a computer case XD … turns out you need guts lol (I really did know, that but it just sank in like a knife to the chest when I looked on newegg and saw how much parts are X_X)
    so yeah I've always wanted a laptop ,but never been able to afford one of any kind :P which really sucks cause I fix laptops on a regular basis for my friends … :( so I have to drool over them for a week or two and still never have one of my own :'( .
    I'm sure there are other more “needy” people out there who want this laptop … [heck the open source designer giver awayer guy would be a good pick] , I really would be ecstatically happy to win this ….
    Good luck to you all, love the site , I really should comment more :) I like that you want the site to be more “user friendly” it seems to be lacking in that area …

    anywho [me and my ADD :]

    My computer is a 10 year old piece of junk, I would LOVE to have a beast like that to call my own. And I could finally start using my own computer for my photography projects and art programs.

    I would like to win this so I can finally access that internet thing I keep hearing about.

    So, I’m stuck with either a 6-year-old laptop that is on it’s third wind (which I am just hoping holds to life for the sake of my itunes library) and my ipod touch. Except my touch just went for a swim! Seriously, never leave a cup of water next to your bed… My boyfriend just got a quad core desktop, and it would be SO AWESOME to show him up! His weak little amd quad would pale in comparison to an i7! Pretty please! I’ll send pictures of how happy I am if I win!
