A few weeks ago my friends over at HP embarked on their Joy Caravan. A 8 city tour across the states to spread joy, and technology, this Holiday season. And lucky me they happened to stop in the A. So on a rainy, and unseasonably hot day, I headed down to Centennial Park to check out all the new gadgets and spread some joy of my own.
HP isn’t playing this season. Between the tablets, home systems, audio, and of course the Chrome Book there’s literally something for everyone on your list. Personally I’m obsessed with the Google Chrome Book. It’s perfect for my crazy, travel filled life. With it’s ability to be online all of the time and ease of use I just throw it in my bag and go. And because I was so in love HP gave me a Chrome Book ($299 value) to gift one of you this Holiday season! So…you get a Chrome Book, you get a Chrome Book, you get a Chrome Book. Okay well really only one lucky reader will get a Chrome Book but shouldn’t everyone feel like Oprah even for only a brief moment? Legal mumbo jumbo below and Happy Monday Loves! truly, MKR
P.S. Congrats to the winner, Taunya, of our VIETRI giveaway!
The legal mumbo jumbo...this giveaway is open to US residents and will run through Sunday the 15th with our winner announced Monday the 16th. We’ll be running this all through Rafflecopter (below) which allows you to earn points for each item completed with a simple click of the button. The more points you earn the more likely you are to win (and remember you probably already have entry points if you’re a regular reader of the blog). This post and giveaway is sponsored by HP, but my thoughts and opinions are 100% my own.
My must have tech device is definitely my phone, with my tablet coming in a close second! Happy Holidays!!
My must-have tech is my iPhone (of course) and on my Christmas list is some wireless speakers so I can take my sound anywhere!
I would love to one of your give a ways. I follow you on everything and love the tips.
My husband’s is the Chromebook – he’s just dying for it! Mine, I’m lost without my iMac.
Oh ok my must haves is wireless speakers. IPod!! I just love have my music separate from my phone. It saves the battery. And laptop. I love to write so its always in use.
This would make the perfect birthday/Christmas present for me! 🙂
My must have is a new phone! Samsung galaxy. I shattered my screen…
My must have tech device is definitely a good smartphone. For me, that’s my iPhone. You have a calendar, internet, music, camera & social media all at your little finger tips.
A tablet for my son … the Chrome book would be perfect!
I’d be lost without my laptop or tablet and wireless keyboard. I’m a grad student so I need to be able to work while I’m on the go.
my MUST have tech item is definitely my iPhone! DUH! hehe
My must have tech device is my phone paired with my ear buds! Music is always a must.

My must have tech device has to be my phone!
My laptop is struggling these days and I definitely need a tablet to keep up with my work and play!
I can’t live without my iPhone! I constantly have it with me and it has everything I need at the touch of the finger. I’m an addict!

My cell phone for sure! I feel naked without it!
Must have tech product is an ipad Mini!
My Cell Phone for Sure! I can’t go without it.
I’d have to say a tablet. It has so many uses, from internet and computer functions to camera and reader. It can replace so many devices. Now if it only had cell phone capabilities….
My cell phone.
Definitely my phone.
My iPhone. Obviously 🙂
I could really use this Chromebook! Fingers crossed!
My phone!
A laptop to me.
I love my computer — so I can read your blog! A tablet would be handy for when I am not at home or when someone else is hogging the desktop! Thanks for the chance!
Thanks for the great giveaway. My must have tech device is my cell because it doubles as my camera!
I just got an iPad and I do not know what I did ‘on-the-go’ before I had one! I also love my MacBook pro – but it just bit the dust after 7 longs years and I would love a new laptop!
My must have tech item is definitely my phone!
Definitely my iPhone!

Fingers crossed that I’ll get lucky! OMGosh, I have learned more about posting & following on social media in the past 20 mins just trying to enter this contest than I’ve learned in the past few years playing around… Still not sure if I did the Facebook entry right! Pick me, pick me, pick me!
Let’s add “does not follow directions well” to my list of attributes… my must-have techo-device, currently, is my iPhone 5; my must-have FUTURE techno-device is the Chrome Book I’m gonna win on this giveaway (right???)! 🙂 Happy Holidays, Everyone!
My must have tech device is my laptop although it is starting to get old (about 5 years) I treated it well so it still works amazingly but a new laptop would always be thankfully accepted
My must have is my phone(Droid RAZR). In a pinch it can stand in for my laptop, phone, address book.
Sounds great!
My laptop! It can do everything I need and has enough room to store all the files I want 🙂
I can’t live without my cell phone and my Fitbit 🙂
I, like most people, have the standard answer: my phone. No way I could live without that. But a very close second is my iPad. I basically don’t use a computer at home anymore.
My phone and my new Withings!!

I’m pretty dependent on my cell phone, but this chromebook is on my wish list! I’m 42 and going back to school in January and really need something portable for class that has a good battery life. Would like to have this for note taking and studying. I’ve heard the chromebooks don’t get viruses! Pretty sweet and I could totally get used to Google Docs, since you can’t download software like MS. I think a chromebook is just what I need. 😀
i love my phone
I can’t leave home without my iPhone. *fingers crossed*

I honestly don’t have much tech stuff. I have a very old cell phone and a desk top my husband rebuilt. I would like to win this for my husband…maybe he could teach me how to use the thing. LOL. When my husband says point to the computer…I point to the moniter….it cracks him up.
