My freelance work is what covers the bills not covered by Finacial aid and student loans, so having the power of this computer would vastly improve my work flow, both for class assignments and design work. This computer has just the kind of attributes I need in a computer.
The entertainment abilities would be a nice bonus. Games and movies to blow off a little steam at the end of the day or while I am monitoring the computer lab where I work for my work study money would make things a little more fun.
In short, my computer is my life and the better the computer, the better I can make my life.
I am also a big fan of HP's products. All of my present computer equipment, as well as my digital camera, are all from HP, as is the printer on my wife's Mac. I am very familier with the quality of the products and if I had access to more of their products I would love to write about them for any website that would publish me. |
It seems to me that the purpose of this give away is to provide a machine not only to someone who needs it but also to provide the machine to someone who can and will promote HP. Based on that it looks to me like Ric_Knight is an excellent candidate for just those reasons. He has clearly outlined his need and how he will utilize the machine and he has already expressed a preference for HP products and a willingness to promote HP products.
