It happened last year on my birthday. I alluded to it in last month’s net worth update. Yes, it’s happening: together with HP and Microsoft, I’m giving away a laptop bundle on Poorer Than You this month!
As a part of a massive 25-blog giveaway called “Better Together” I’ll be giving away a delicious prize pack that’s designed specifically for college students:
- 16” HP Pavilion dv6 with built-in Blu-ray drive
- 10” HP Mini 110 (yes, two computers!)
- Syncables software to keep your files up-to-date between the two machines
- Customized “Poorer Than You” Timbuk2 Swig Backpack
You can learn much more about the two computers in the bundle on Thursday, because in addition to providing a bundle to give away, HP also loaned me a second bundle to review. So check back on Thursday for some in-depth descriptions! (Or subscribe to the RSS feed or you can subscribe by email!)

Good luck with your move.
