HP Magic Giveaway HighlightsCore target and strategic new audiences addressed with comprehensive, media-rich content! • From GeeksRoom.com, translated from Spanish: “I'm going to keep 1 PC and
donate the rest to the Pablo IV Shelter, where I've been a volunteer since 2001 -a year of total crisis in Argentina. After a few years of crying about everything we'd lost in the peso crisis, I stopped my navel-gazing and decided to help others worse off than me. The shelter helps families who're not just very poor, but who have serious problems. I volunteer in the bakery with the mothers selling bread and have created an Excel macro that tracks their attendance, sales and earnings. We're also setting up a computer workshop and need PCs for it, so winning this contest is perfect.“
• From PlanetX64.com: “I have taught high school Business classes for almost eighteen years now. My school has a diverse population and almost three-quarters of them are eligible for free or reduced lunch. We can’t afford to keep up with the technology that our students need to be exposed to. Many of my students do not have access to technology at home. When I heard about HP’s Magic Giveaway, I was so excited because I felt this would help my students in such a major way. Imagine $6,000 in HP technology for my classroom.“
• From Notebooks.com: “I am amazed at how this giveaway has wonderfully impacted so many people… The children at Children's Hospital and Research Center, Oakland: I was excited to find that we have the exact same idea for how the TouchSmart PC can be used to serve the children as they bravely and patiently go through treatment. Your idea to use the netbook for the bed-confined teens is excellent… May HP be blessed to see how their contest is a blessing to others! Thank you HP!!!
Contest winners expressed deep appreciation for HP’s generosity.

Back-to-School Better Together Giveaway Highlights Notebook-netbook companion story 100% on message on all sites! Authentic, positive influencer endorsements in reviews!
“ I can honestly say that this package is the perfect solution to any college student’s computing needs.”--Zen College Life
“Starting at just over $600, the HP Pavilion Dv6 is an excellent choice for any college student who needs a good main computer. It includes all the important features of a normal desktop, but with the portability of a laptop. It is designed to work in conjunction with the HP Mini 110, a very portable netbook.”--Debt Free Scholar
“In using the Mini 110 on a recent business trip, I found that it was a much welcomed solution to carrying around a larger Notebook. On my trip I carried only the 110 and its AC adapter so I could charge the battery at night. My trip was only two days long but I was able to use Outlook Web Access to get to my corporate Exchange account and download photos from my digital camera with no problems encountered. The real beauty of the 110 and dv6 combination came into play when I returned home. Instead of having to use USB keys to transfer photos from the Mini to the dv6, I simply fired up Syncables on both PCs and within minutes the documents, photos and other items were synchronized between the PCs. It is a fantastically brilliant solution.“--Clinton Fitch
