This Is Not An Invitation To Break Into My House

Break into My House

Encouraging you to win some free computers got me thinking about the gear we ourselves own.  About 8 months ago, I received the surprise that every computer geek wants to receive: someone wanted to give me some free gear!  It wasn’t just any gear either – it was well over $6,000 worth of computers (4), a printer, dvds, software, and more.   I was happily one of the recipients of the HP Magic Giveaway.

Since then we’ve given some away to worthy causes and are looking to donate another one to a local student soon.  But for now, we want to give away a testimony of our experiences with some of the best computers we’ve ever encountered.

Eight months is long enough to test out these beasts (and a Mini beast) so its time to share what we’ve grown to love about them.  We’ll also throw in a couple of reviews for computers that we’ve bought in the past, but love just as much.

Over the next couple of weeks we’ll be reviewing:

What We Bought Ourselves

  1. HP TC1100 Tablet PC – threw Windows 7 on this baby and its just sweeeeeeet!
  2. HP Pavilion Slimline – full sized desktop PC, small enough that we could’ve carried it in our carry-on luggage (and almost did).

What We Won

  1. HP Mini 1000 – liked it so much that we bought two more to give away.
  2. HP Touchsmart – the Monkey loves doing the paint program on it.  His brother the Puppy is now trying to reach it.
  3. HP HDX – at first the pure size of the 18″ screen was daunting; now I don’t know how we lived without it.

You may have noticed that these are all HP’s.  Well, I don’t work for HP (are they hiring?) but I’ve had nothing but good experiences with their merchandise since I bought my first computer an HP Entertainment PC.  They don’t even make those anymore.  They all come as notebooks now.

To start things off, do you have any of these computers?  What are your impression of them?
