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!

CrunchDeals: 50% off the HP MediaSmart LX195

I liked everything about the HP MediaSmart LX195 Windows Home Server except the price. It’s fast and quiet. The software suite is extensive and even includes compatablility to OS X’s Time Machine. But the $399 MSRP is totally not worth it for only 640GB. Thankfully HP has a deal on the server right now.

The small print is that in order to get 50% off, you have to purchase any HP consumer notebook or desktop from HPdirect.com. If that’s alright with you, just check the box during the system customization to order the server at $199. We just wish it was $199 everyday.
