Hello!!!
I am a Brazilian student computer science.
Currently I am working during the day to pay for college. My job is freelance programmer in Java.
My computer at work is a pentiun 3 450Mhs with 192MB of memory.
His win this notebook that I would change my life too. To begin with someone already tried to run Eclipse or NetBeans on a computer like mine? With a machine with this much certainty would increase my income at work, and also in college that I have some projects in mind. In the more fun it would be better for me, my family and my friends.
For me buy a computer this would have to add money for some ten years or twenty years.
I think I really deserved to win this notebook, because I really dream with him when I am sleeping. When I saw the first time is stopped for five minutes observing its magnitude.
Finally I would like if someone comment my story.
Thank you.

Wow, amazing how things change once you get to know somebody.

Hehe, you can be friends with everyone. It just depends on how much you know them. Sadly, none of us ever try to understand each other.

That could be quite true.

Seriously, gnight folks - they should open up a chat room here, huh?

I have had about 50 people ask me about the software for my cam I use, I get 15 fps at 320 x 240 for screen capture with it LMAO! it's sad..

Some software captures only with 15fps.

I have a life besides computers, but generally it is at the shops looking at computers, or school, or the movies on the weekend, I am literally addicted to the computer, I don't know if it's healthy or not, but I enjoy it most and have a passion for tech, so I'm happy!

So, you are 15 years old?


Who will win this contest? You guys have any ideas?

Nah, you get to set the frames and I am only getting 15fps at tops, plus, with my actually webcam software, not the one for screen capture, its also 15fps and should be 30fps - I THINK it might have something to do with my GPU.

Ya I'm 15 But I know how to use a computer responsibly - there are quite a few kids at our school that pull out the keys of the keyboard, REALLY annoying.

You have any idea who will win, chris? Let's gamble!

Gah, well I personally think, due to the fact that I know how bad my current PC is and how much I can push this HDX Dragon and the fact I need it for my career and possibly many many other peoples careers and also the fact that my current HP came with faulty hardware, that I deserve/need it (just like everybody else thinks they deserve it)
I can't gamble though - I haven't got enough money LMAO! <- Plus, gotta be over 18 :-p

Gah, you don't know how badly I need this computer

If I were to have a guess who would win if it were NOT me, I really can't decide, it's really close.
I can only see a few people that stand out but I personally can only see myself pushing it to it's limits, gah.. sidetracked... I've already planned an awesome video, very funny

Blablablah, back to your question, I think unevengilist has a reasonable chance of winning, though from what I gathered he has already many gaming abilities.

I really cannot decide. It's very hard, all I can think about that the moment is how much I need to compared to these other votes and I can tell you it's close but in my honest opinion, just for the fact of being with my faulty HP computer for 5 years, I personally can't stop thinking that I need it most, I know it is probably wrong of me but I can't stop. I shouldn't get my hopes up either, the chances are good but not certain and I really wish we could all win one each but yeah..

I'm tired as heck too, shouldn't have done another all-nighter on the forums lol. Gah, I think I am up to my 3rd all-nighter on the forums, not due to the fact of the HP but they are really addictive and the community is great and growing! (I am also going to ask my subscribers to check out the forums in my next or second next video)

Hmm... I dunno, I think I might be getting excited about something that I haven't won, so I am thinking, the first names that come to mind are, in no particular order:
unevenglist, Larrabee (you, incase you forgot for being a great forum member), Bernardakins (though I don't know how far he'd push this system to it's limits).

Those are the first few names that come to mind, there are more but I am to tired at the moment.


Bests of luck folks and thanks again to HP and NoteBooks.com for this amazing opportunity :-)



EDIT: gah, I am going to have an early night, good luck to everybody, I can't wait to see if I have one - damn, I gotta slow down lol!!!


Gah, re-reading that, I can see why my friends get annoyed at school all the time when I talk about tech, LOL, gotta cover each corner! Sorry lol..

EDIT: Xavier, please do not count this, as it would be unfair, I'm just giving my reasoning to LarraBee :-)
