    Mother’s Day Giveaway Extravaganza {Win a Laptop!}

    By Stephanie | May 8, 2009

    Some days, I think about all of the grandiose and magnificent things I could be doing to change the world. I could be saving lives as a medical doctor or teaching university students at Stanford or coming up with brilliant new technology ideas at the Google headquarters.

    And yet, here I am – blowing noses, making macaroni & cheese, giving baths, singing songs, going on long walks to collect rocks, changing diapers, drawing pictures with sidewalk chalk, saying “don’t put your feet on the table” and “use your nice manners, please” and “would you like to wear your blue shirt or your red shirt today?

    Sometimes, it seems so inconsequential, so small. 

    But then, I realize that THIS is what it’s all about. THIS is what matters. Not my masters degree or my work or even this little blog. What matters are these two precious girls – the lessons I teach them, the legacy I will live, the people they will become.

    This Sunday is Mother’s Day – a day to recognize our own mothers, to reflect on the kind of mothers we want to be, and to acknowledge the important role that mothers play in our society.

    To celebrate, I am pleased to be giving away an incredible prize package (valued at almost $1,800) to one reader:

    First, the winner will receive a Toshiba Portege M750 ($1,699).

    Your mom (or you…) will be the “coolest mom on the block” with this lightweight, portable, and highly functional tablet/laptop. Yes, that’s right it’s a notebook that converts to a tablet.

    You can work on it like this:

    toshiba portege m750 laptop

    Or you can adjust the screen:

    toshiba portege m750 adjusting

    And it will look like this:

    toshiba portege m750 tablet

    Awesome, huh? The tablet allows you to write on the screen with an accompanying digital pen and/or you can do what you need to do by simply touching the screen. 

    You can read all the specs on the Toshiba website, but you can be assured that it has lots of excellent features and that it is “among the greenest” laptops (it was awarded the elite EPEAT Gold status, the highest rating in environmental standard for laptops by EPEAT).

    The Portege M750 would make an awesome gift for any mom. Whether she’s a blogger, a designer, a professor, or a stay-at-home mom who enjoys going online throughout the day, she’ll love this small notebook that she can carry around with her anywhere. 

    small phantom bag stm bagsThe winner will also receive the Small Phantom laptop bag from STM Bags.

    She’ll need somewhere to store her precious “cargo.” Why not explore the options at STM Bags? The Small Phantom is an especially good pick for laptops with a 12″ or 13″ screen. The vivid red is an STM-exclusive color and the entire look is sleek and streamlined. The interior is roomy enough for your notebook and baby gear. Last night, I went to National Mom’s Nite Out and comfortably arranged my MacBook, baby diapers, wipes, an extra outfit, my wallet, and my glasses in the bag. 

    One winner will be toting around a new laptop in a trendy new bag this summer. Here’s a shot of the prize package:

    HERE’S HOW YOU CAN WIN!

    Leave a topic-related comment on this post. It can be about what you most want for Mother’s Day or about how you would use the “tablet” functionality of the Toshiba or about the features you look for in a laptop bag. You choose. Just remember all generic entries (“enter me,” “love it,” “pick me, please,” etc.) will be disqualified. This contest is open to readers with a U.S. mailing address.

    Because this an extra-special giveaway, I’m allowing you the opportunity to earn up to 7 additional entries.

    For additional entries you can:

    That’s up to 7 additional entries! Please be sure to leave a comment for each additional entry.

      Wow…that is one cool laptop. My poor hubby and 3 boys all share my “old” Toshiba (which are GREAT computers). No one lays a finger on mine for fear of losing that finger. So Im sure they would appreciate having another computer to fight over. I’d love to pass on a Mother’s day treat to them. Thanks for the awesome giveaway!

      You’ve outdone yourself now, Steph! What an amazing giveaway! As for Mother’s Day, I love just spending time with my husband & daughter. This year, since she’s 3, I’m excited for her to *hopefully* make me a little something. Homemade gifts are the BEST! But books are always nice too :) And laptops….of course! haha

      This is an amazing giveaway! If I won I’d have to give it to my Hubby – who would absolutely LOVE the tablet feature. I’m too much of a Mac girl to abandon my PowerBook :)

      Oh, but I bet you I’d get to keep the laptop bag and that is one neat bag!

      For Mother’s Day, I’m most excited for the gift my son made me in Kindergarten! He let it slip that he made something, but wouldn’t tell me what. He’s such a sweetie pie! :D

      Wow, this is an awesome giveaway with so many ways to enter, maybe if i won i would understand how to do more of the ways to enter. Ha ha… anyway, it would be so nice to get a cool present like that for mothers day. I have to say though I do love all the silly pictures, bookmarks, and hand made cards I tend to get from my gorgeous children.

      Wow, I kept reading and it kept getting better! And I’m going to be greedy and say, in honor of Mother’s Day, that if I win, it’s MINE, ALL MINE!

      Oh I would love to have my own laptop, and I’ve wanted a tablet laptop since we were working together. I always thought it would be perfect for taking notes or display information during meetings. Of course, now I’m not working, but that shouldn’t mean that I couldn’t enjoy it now, right?

      Wow! We could SO use the laptop because our 1 1/2 year old just died! Already! We couldn’t believe it. I use mine for writing–blog, books, articles–and I love the portability! My husband also used ours for school, so we could really use the new one!

      This is my first Mother’s Day and I can’t wait to see how it goes!

      I have been shopping around for a new laptop – mine is 7 years old and hardly working. This would be perfect for me, I love how the screen swivels and that it is so lightweight and portable. The bag is very elegant, I would be the most stylish mom at the local Starbucks (hmm, if I ever make the time to get there ;-)).

      Hubby keeps asking me what I want for Mother’s Day but I just want to hang out at home, I think. Maybe I’ll ask for help organizing and clean my office? That would be cool!

      The Toshiba looks really cool. I have never seen one where the screen adjusts or where you can write on it with a digital pen for that matter LOL So neat.

      Honestly, the thing I want most on Mother’s Day is sleep… usually on weekends I make Bob wake up with the kids at least one morning so I can sleep in but he’s had horrible allergies this spring so the last few weeks I have been out of luck on that. Whenever Bob buys me presents, they are horribly misguided (rollerblades, Crocs, a compass…) so really sleep is a better gift! If money was no object, a laptop would certainly come in handy since I am tethered to my desktop. Oh, wait- you’re giving one away!

      The Portégé’s tablet feature would be especially nice for using while sitting on the couch having quality time and not looking like I was blogging… and I definitely appreciate the fact that the Portégé M750 series is eco-friendly: it was awarded elite EPEAT Gold status, the highest rating in environmental standards for laptops. So, really, I could say I was actually helping the earth by blogging and not be totally full of it.

      I would also like to point out that having the Portégé M750 would be fabulous for BlogHer. I still have no sponsors, but I do have my registration ticket and I’m planning to go. So this would come in handy. Oh, yes. And did I mention that saying “Portégé” makes me feel very fancy and French. So there!

      I’m going to be going back to school this fall for my degree in nursing. A laptop like this would go a long way in helping me with my schoolwork.

      I have a lot of guilt about going back to work while my son is so young, and we’re talking about having another kid, to boot! However, I know that not only am I doing the right thing for my kids in the long run, I’m also doing the right thing for them now. When I’m not intellectually and socially stimulated (and I need more than just mommy friends) I am not the best mother that I can be. Going to school full time is going to be hard, but I owe it to myself and to my children.

      We just got the best Mother’s Day gift ever – to find out that we are having another son!!! The sonogram was this morning, and it was like dejavu (sp?). We were in the same ultrasound room, with the same technician, and found out that we are having the same sex as last time! It was truly amazing to see him moving on the screen!!! And we got a pic of this one in the same exact position as our little Matthew last time – with his hand up to his face seemingly sucking his thumb! It is truly a blessing!!!!! And we are so thrilled! This has made my Mother’s Day special! :)

      I’m hoping for a well baby on Mother’s day. He’s too young to get or make me anything, but if he’d just get well, and let me get a decent night’s sleep, I’d be over the moon with joy. A laptop would rock, too!
      I love this post, by the way. On occasion, I see what some of my childless college friends have gone off to do. I cringe for a moment, and wish I could do some of those things. And, then I come back to my senses, and realize that I wouldn’t have it any other way. I am blessed to be able to give up or put on hold some of my ambitions for the opportunity of raising my little boy.

      While i have not yet made the jump to a laptop myself, i’ve been looking into it. This offer is pretty exciting, and i have to tell you that for a laptop bag, i’d be looking for a comfortable shoulder strap, something pretty yet functional, and something with a few extra pockets for all the necessary paraphernalia like cords and paper and pens.

      Right now, I have a very old Dell desktop that only works when it feels like it. I have been wanting to get a laptop, but have not been able to come up with the extra money. I homeschool my 5 yr old, and having a new computer would really help us out with school.

      Thanks so much for offering this giveaway.

      Now for my words on Mother’s Day…

      My husband asked me what I’d like to do for Mother’s Day this weekend and my honest response was – Sleep In!

      So today- he let me get started on the sleeping in as I didn’t get up until 11 am! Isn’t he great!

      We don’t have any money to do any gifts or even go out as he had spine surgery two months ago so instead we are packing a wonderful picnic lunch and heading off to the park for a wonderful time of just being together, enjoying the sounds of nature, and watching the kids play.

      I’d seriously take something like this over flowers, cards, jewelry, or other things like that.

      Now as for this computer- um… COOL! How neat is that to be able to turn the screen and even write on it. I think it might be the neatest thing I have seen today.

      This is an amazingly generous giveaway. Thank you for the opportunity! For 28 years my mother has been my greatest teacher. Now she teaches a room full of second graders every day. She is an amazing mom and teacher, but she is also a gifted writer. With her youngest child graduating from college this year, her mom duties will be significantly reduced. She is also nearing retirement which will give her more time to do the things she loves, writing included. Every week, on the computer she shares with my father, she writes a column for her local newspaper which can be seen here http://www.mybackyardnews.com/blog/?s=crocket
      If I could give her this laptop and bag, she could write anywhere and it would be of great encouragement to her, a show of support. After all of the encouragement and support that she has shown me and so many others over the years, she more than deserves this.
      Again, thanks for the opportunity and Happy Mother’s Day to you!

      Hey Stephanie!! I love the pictures of the girls!! This is a great give-away!! We still have our dinosaur ancient laptop that we bought over five years ago that takes at least 10 minutes just to shut down!! So a new laptop would be great for the whole family, especially all writing that Kristen loves to do!! As for what I want for Mother’s Day…the best gift is to be able to spend the day with the kids, husband and parents – enjoying listening to kids scream and laugh while playing in the pool!! I hope that you have a wonderful Mother’s Day too!

      Wow! What a giveaway! I have always wanted a tablet PC because I think it would be an excellent tool to use when working with kids (although it would absolutely get a lot of wear and tear). It would also be fun to experiment with all the special things tablet pcs do. It would be an awesome replacement for my lame-o Acer laptop (which I would then def. pass on to my Mom!)

      Well, for Mother’s Day, I’m torn between having a nice day with my fam (hubby and kids) and having a day to myself. I mean, after all, i spend time with my fam every day and it’s great. but very rarely do i have day to myself. I’d love to have the whole day to do my scrapbooking, sewing, etc etc. I’m a mommy blogger as well, so a laptop would be awesome!! never seen one with a tablet feature!! writing blogs could be a breeze with that feature!! awesome giveaway!

It sure would make blogging a little more ‘portable’ as I don’t have a laptop at all and my desktop is about 6 years old…as far as technology standards go it’s ancient!! A laptop would be awesome because it would allow me that portability I need running around after 4 kids!! Thanks for the opportunity.

      Okay, this is an amazing giveaway. I am excited for this mother’s day because my daughter is finally old enough to make me a gift all by herself. (She’s 3) I already knew what she was making because I am in charge of crafts at her school, but the fact that my child was intently working on a gift that she knew was for her mommy, makes it the best gift EVER!

      My doctors office uses these instead of folders and paper and I absolutely SALIVATE whenever they come into the office (despite the fact that I am usually there for some yuck awful reason). Currently the “u” key on my keyboard requires the strength of a Herculain wildebeast to get it to type the darn thing so a new laptop would be fabulous. I wonder however in a house of 4 younger boys how long it would take for them to wrench the top off the bottom in an effort to show one of their friends mom’s new fandangly laptop? Hehe. Perhaps what I need for mother’s day is a loft, with a door that locks. Happy Mothers’ Day everyone!

      Mother’s day is a tough one for me. It falls exactly between my wedding anniversary and my birthday. So, more often than not, I don’t want anything but a meal cooked by my husband, and peace and quiet. It seems silly to celebrate it beyond that, with everything else I celebrate around it.

      I’ve been really itching for a laptop lately. I think the only thing that might top a laptop for me would be an iPhone… but that’s not happening in the foreseeable future. And for someone who seems to *never* win prizes… well, this would be SO much fun! Would definitely make the most memorable Mother’s Day of my life so far.

      What an amazing thing to do right now before Mother’s Day!! If won the laptop I would give it to my Mother-In-law who was a very generous person when she had the means. She is in an assisted living facility and has faced many challenges and trials in the past couple of years. She has no access curently to a computer and really feels isolated from the world…what a wonderful gift for her. I believe in paying it forward. She would be so greatful to be able to check on her grandkids, as I blog about them daily on my blog.

But I know, without a doubt, that couldn’t be more untrue – shaping these little lives, raising the next generation for the Lord – what could be more valuable and significant than that!?!

      I would love to win this for Mother’s Day as a present to myself because I would use this every. Single. Day. I am a blogger (and hope I could be considered more than just a “mommy blogger”) and a part time music teacher and I have had aspirations to be a writer for as long as I can remember. I’d love to have my own laptop to work on my stuff in the privacy of my own room or when I go out to a cafe to get some quiet (which is rare in a house with 3 boys!!). Anyway… this is something I need anyway, so to win it would be a major highlight of my life so far! Besides, I need something else for the boys to fight over. :)

      Laundry isn’t fun, dishes are the worst, and I am sick of picking up toys off the floor of my front room. I have stretch marks everywhere, and I will never get back into my size 3/4 pants. But I forget about those awful things when my boys smile at me, and ask for a hug. I forget when I see my 3 yr old hug his little brother while the little brother smiles back and think I must be doing something right. There is nothing better than hearing a tiny voice say thank you mommy. No, I may not be president of anything, and I am not the smartest crayon in the box. I am not the trophy wife that we all sometimes wish we were, but dangit, my kids love me and I love them. Happy Mother’s Day everyone.

      My friend Jessie is excited about her first Mother’s Day as a mom. As she should be. Memory-making days. The best days of her life, only sometimes she will be far too tired and busy to realize it. At least I was.

      My kids are grown and gone, but we had some great celebrations back in the 1980s! Here’s what I do miss:

      1. Those sweet little faces in the old family pictures. It’s all I can do to look at old pictures and not cry. There’s so much I wish I could do over and do better.

      2. Mother’s Day with little kids: the soggy cereal, the half-cooked strips of bacon, a warm glass of milk, cold and overbuttered toast served by Chris and Kelly who were beside themselves with excitement. They’d pile up in the bed with us and watch me eat every bite of the best breakfast I’d ever had. What I wouldn’t give for that to happen this Sunday!

      3. Having my kiddoes with me at church on Mother’s Day. It’s the hardest thing in the world to look out over the congregation from the choir loft and see all the moms sitting there with their children. Kelly lives too far away, and I have no idea why Chris doesn’t come. Probably goes to his mother-in-law’s church. It’s lonely, very lonely.

      The kids will call. They always do. But today I wish I could go back to 1987.

      Oh wow, this is an incredible giveaway!
      Today, my son came home from Kindergarden with a present for me: A cookbook made by all of his classmates. It was so adorable because the kids gave directions for their favorite recipes. I think there were 9 versions of spaghetti. They also made up measurements: cookies with 1 cup of sugar, 1 oz of flour and 15 chocolate chips; casseroles that baked at 40 degrees for 18 hours… It was a riot. And after each recipe they said one reason their mom was special. I’m special because I can cook and I’m nice.
      Days like this remind me that the messiness of motherhood is totally worth it!

      This laptop would be an awesome Mother’s Day gift. With 3 little boys (4, 2, and 1) our laptop is my saving grace to the outside world. Who would of ever thought I would be saying that. We use our computer all the time for blogging about our Ministry and our Kiddos, Facebook, and News Letters. Not to mention my 4 year old loves to play games!!!! I pray that everyone has a blessed Mother’s Day and gets the best present of all and sweet hug and kiss from their little ones!

      I guess for everything I do I leave another comment – right?

      The perfect mother’s day present?? I blogged about what I wanted most for mother’s day hear last year.

      http://colorado-mama.blogspot.com/2008/04/mothers-day.html

      Last year was a hard mother’s day because all I wanted was a day away from the kids (Lily was a VERY diffcult baby) and that was the one thing I did not get. I did not get away for the kids at all that day, no naps, no 10 minutes of silence – nothing.

      Now that Lily is older and not quite as bad and I am not dealing with PPD I would like to enjoy a nice run or hike by myself, a massage would be great but not needed, playtime in the park with the family on a super beautiful day, and eventually a nice dinner with my hubby (no kids for dinner). That would be a perfecr Mother’s Day.

      The laptop is wonderful. We are almost to the point that I want a new computer but just have not gone that route due to money. I would love to be able to sit on the couch and blog (need to get wireless internet to do that first!). We also need a new computer because our current one is old and slow – but other than that for what we use it for it works great. So unless I win one I won’t be buying one anytime soon.

      What a wonderful Mother’s Day Gift! I would love to say that this laptop would be a great upgrade for me… but I don’t own a laptop… never have owned a laptop. My kids needs and wants come before mine… I only have them for a little while before I have to turn them loose into the world– so this would have to be a gift as I could never justify spending the money on myself.

      What I most want for Mother’s Day… is a Artist’s Oil Paint kit. I’ve always known I have a strong creative streak that has been mostly ignored my whole 40-something years. This past week I went to my first oil painting class, and fell in love! I’ve home schooled 3 children and am working on the last two of my children. I’ve been busy tending to motherly cares for over 20 years. But recently I decided to expand my repetoire of skills and do something I’ve always longed to do. So that’s what I want for this Mother’s Day – but I wanted to encourage some older, or perhaps not so older, mothers that the passage of time doesn’t have to mean the passage of lost opportunities to do something you’ve always longed to do. May your Mother’s Day be filled with love …and new opportunities!

And I was just so overwhelmed by a sense of camaraderie with these women who I didn’t know. All I knew was that we were in this together. This juggling, hectic, amazing ride called motherhood. I am thankful for that!

I can really appreciate what you said about feeling like you’re doing all these little things that don’t matter….but I guess when you think about the big picture, it is all of these little things that will encourage, grow, and raise up these little people the Lord has given us! So we keep on doing them and remember that the little things ARE accomplishing an extraordinary goal :) This would be an AMAZING Mother’s Day present and I’m sure I could put it to great use : )

And if my husband got a job I could maybe work less hours and have more time with the kids…I would love that too! I agree with this post too…don’t let the time get away, cherish the children while they are with you and train them up in the way they should go! God bless and Happy Mom’s Day!

And such a small one that would fit in a cute little bag, now you are talking! As for a mother’s day gift, i think a night of uninterrupted sleep would be the best. but being 8 months pregnant i think we would have to send me to bed with a diaper on!!!

      I came from Deborah’s blog. She featured your giveaway in her blog. It really surprised me.

      I have to agree with this post. You certainly are doing a great job in being a mother to your beautiful children. I very much agree with the legacy that you’ll be living for your kids. I also want to do the same for my future kids but for now, I really want to follow my mom’s example. For me, she is the best mom ever (no offense to you, of course). I was a prodigal daughter. But she still accepted me inspite of every huge mistake I’ve committed in the past. And I would very much like to give this laptop to her if I win. She doesn’t have a laptop and she very much like to learn and use one in making her educational books. She has been a teacher for more than 25 years now. She manually writes everything and she lets other people type it for her in another computer. I want to be able to give her something to make up for all the mistakes I’ve done. Still I know that being a better person is already a beautiful gift for her.

      Sorry for the long comment. Thank you for sharing your laptop with us. You have a generous heart.

      GOD BLESS YOU ABUNDANTLY! P.U.S.H.

      Oh and the picture of your kids are so awesome. The holding hands are so cute. It leaves me in awe. Beautiful children, indeed.

      Thanks for sharing this awesome gift with one of us. So, since my laptop has recently started giving me the warning signs, like, oops, just decided to shut off, or close the internet, or freeze up, a new laptop sounds absolutely too good to be true. Our budget for a new laptop all depends on when this baby decides to go, so that pretty much means, “budget? what budget $ for a new laptop?” Thanks again for sharing this great laptop…and bag. And congrats to whoever gets to take it home!

      For Mother’s Day, after celebrating with my own mom at lunch and the ballet (!), I would love to be given a gift certificate to go get a spa pedi with my sister.
      Happy Mother’s Day everyone!

      What I want most for Mother’s day money can’t buy! My mom passed away 2 years ago and I would love to have her back just for 1 day. She was everything to me! I just miss her so much! I have 2 daughters of my own and they are PRECIOUS, and that means THE WORLD to me also! MOTHER’s and Daughter’s have a Bond that is inexplicable. YOU know that!!!!!

      Now, a Laptop! WOW, my laptop is getting OLD, it has been fixed 3 times and By God’s good Grace it is hanging in there! I would love to have one that is super portable and lightweight, yet runs Quickly, Boots up fast and is DEPENDABLE!!!
      The Portege looks FABU!!
      Thank you so much for the chance to win!!!

      Well, I can’t imagine any other way to spend Mother’s Day than with my awesome family. sleeping in would be ideal, but then we still have to make it to the 0830 church service (reality setting in). meals not made by me that i don’t have to clean up. afternoon family nap. a hike to view a sunset from a hillside or at a local vineyard.

      What I want most for mother’s day I can’t buy – for my grandmother to suddenly recover from dementia. But, absent some miracle, what I would really like is to sleep in and then enjoy the day with my husband and kids, but not have to clean up anything.

      OK, a relaxation massage along with a pedicure and manicure would be nice, too. But the laptop would last longer. *grin*

      I love the concept of changing the world by being a great parent! There is no greater job than raising children, and raising them to be world changers is an exciting and challenging job. My daughter knows she can change the world, even now at the age of 12, by touching the lives of those she comes in contact with every day.

      Your daughters are so lovely…and I can’t believe wee little one is growing up so quickly!

      For Mother’s Day I’d love an entire day where the older two don’t fight with each other… HA! lol

      Happy Mother’s Day to you !!

      I love touch-screens. When I worked at Starbucks, the cash registers were touch-screen, and it’s so easy to use. Laptops are so great. They take up so little space! I can see this one being really fun for doing creative things–the touch screen seems like it would make doodling on the paint pad soooo much easier!

We have been practicing and she can sign it and she will say I and you with prompting but just the fact that she is trying and will sign it to me is enough. :)

      Dear Metropolitan Mama, It was so refreshing to read your comments about motherhood. Motherhood is THE MOST IMPORTANT JOB you will ever have, it requires more creativity and flexibility than any other job(making it the most interesting job you will ever have), it is more fulfilling than any thing else you will ever put your hand to, and if done right, you will have some of the best friends of your life when you are done with your MOST IMPORTANT JOB. You cannot name all of the benefits of raising children, there are just too many!!! God bless you on your journey with your precious little ones.

      you know i am almost at the end of this phase of my mothering journey. my youngest (of 5) is now 10yo… double digits! what they all say is true true true- these years do fly by and they are gone before you can even blink. i am a single mom, who’s struggling to remain at home with my kids, homeschooling- none of us have it easy. i am often counseled to get out there and “live” more, whatever that means, lol. but you know what? at the end of the day, at the end of my life i want to look back and know in my heart of hearts that i mothered as well as i possibly could. that i gave my children the best of myself, the best childhood, the best preparation for their own lives that i could. i don’t want any regrets.

      well didn’t mean to write a book, lol. i kinda just wanted to share this quote from mother teresa, which you’ve probably heard a hundred times, but it inspires me in my nose-wiping, toilet cleaning, time-out monitoring moments:

      I like the size of this laptop. I have heard that laptops with larger screens can lose battery power faster, and having something small and portable would be very handy when I’m in my daughter’s room during nap times! Thank you so much for this giveaway.

      I’m going to my middle son’s house for Mother’s day. I have 4 grown kids,I have 7 grandkids, 2 step grandkids that I think of as my own too, and 1 great grandbaby. We won’t all be together for Mothers’s day.Plus my husband died December 4th so this has not been a fun year for me.Thank you for having a wonderful giveaway.

      What I want most for mother’s day is to not be sick with this flu like virus, to go to a park in great weather and have a picnic with my family enjoy a wonderful day. After we eat and play I will rest under a tree and dream about what I could do with such a great laptop. Imagine, no longer getting alerts that I dont have the right platform to upgrade my flashplayer or adobe reader. No more being told I cant view a website because Im still using Windows ME. No more being told I cant upload a photo because my machine doesnt have the memory or storage capacity. No more hunting for paper when I want to make notes, all can be done on this amazing little machine that I can take with me and not be terminally attached to a desk in a musty laundry room!! Amazing I tell you, Amazing! Sweet mother’s day dreams for me!

I’ve never had a laptop (I feel like the only one who hasn’t at this point!) and this Toshiba has every feature I’ve wanted and more – it converts to a tablet! And that laptop bag is just gorgeous!

      We are actually in the market for a laptop. Hubby insists we need one since he claims I never let him on our desktop. I think he just picks a time when I am already on it :-)
      My son brought home a flower they had planted in Pre-K for me and a card that he drew in and he had to answer certain questions about me…He said I was 54 years old (I’m 32) and I weigh about 16 or 17 pounds (nope, not telling, but it’s more than 17 pounds…LOL). There were other questions, but these really made me laugh!! That was the best gift I could hope to receive!! Thanks for the awesome giveaway!

      I am a senior citizen computer user. Sometimes when I am at the senior citizen center I will see someone looking at the PC they have there but when I offer them a basic course in how to use it they usually cringe and back off. I have taught a couple of folks and sorry to say they are now so attached to their PCs at home they don’t come to the center more often. I usually have to talk to them on messenger. Anyway I was thinking that is I had a laptop I could take with me to the center (I go for lunch most days at it is only $2 and you can’t beat that even at Micky D’s) and maybe folks wouldn’t be so intimidated by something they could hold in their laps and use. At least they would know it wouldn’t bite. Ha! Ha!

There are many tremendously wonderful things we all have to contribute to the world but by far the most important, the most critical, is what we give our children as we raise them to be good, honest citizens. I have three kiddos who are growing up so fast. Before I know it they will be grown and starting families of their own. I treasure my role as mother. It is the absolutely most important thing I do.

      Hi, I’m a sixteen year old girl with a horribly stressed mother. I’m completely flat broke and am feeling horrible for not getting anything for her for mother’s day except ‘love’. She means so much to me since my dad isn’t here and I can talk to her about almost anything in the world. Since my dad is currently in Iraq and is not allowed the time to talk to her for more than twice a day, if even that, my mother stresses out all the time and even takes medication so she won’t become depressed. Ha, she calls them her crazy pills. She tries so hard to keep a smile on her face at all times even when me and my 14 year old brother Chris are fighting and yelling. She puts up with a dirty house that never gets clean.Our landlord decided lately that we rented the house ‘as is’ so he won’t fix everything that is wrong with the hous including: the dishwaher, the washing machine, the sinks, the windows, the closets, the toilets, the yard, the fences, the sidwalks, and many other things. So we are now currently in search for a new house in the same school district because she knows how much I love the schol that I am in now since we just moved here to Oklahoma in January. She doesn’t have a job yet because not many places will hire her if we are going to be gone for the first two weeks of June. My grandmother is constantly bothering my mom for help in her house that always looks like a tornado went through it which means that, since my mom is almost always over at my grandmothers, I barely ever get to hang out with her anymore. My grandfather is the worst problem ,though, because he has just went through a big heart surgery that I don’t think helped much because his heart still isn’t beating right which means they will have to stop his heart so they can re-start it correctly. If this doesn’t work, the doctor’s have no clue what they will have to do next and even though she doesn’t show it, I know that my mom is stressing over it because, come on, it’s her own father. I’m basically just wanting to brighten up her day at least this once. Plus my mother loves to get on the computer to play games or write, which she barely ever gets to do since my brother steals her own laptop almost every day so she never gets to use it as she likes. Thank you for listenting.

No bells and whistles on this old girl either so winning this one would be like getting a new baby.I think I’d spend a few weeks just getting to know it.
      I carry my current lappy around in an old tote-no padding so I stuff an old towel inside so she doesn’t get too dinged. That laptop bag is only fitting for such a lovely computer!

      I am not a mother but I have a wonderful mom. I was injured three years ago and had to have my low back fused. Then I had to have the hard ware removed. Thru this all I lost the ability to dress myself so my mother does that for me. I lost the ability to live on my own. For the rest of my life I will have to have someone help me. Thru this all my mother has been their for me. I would have suicide if not for my mom. We used to live in California and that is where all my moms friends are. She has no support where we live now. The only way she can communicate is through E-mail. Are computer blew its motherbord so we have to go to are bank to use the internet. I would really like to be able to give my mom a new computer. Thank you for your time and the opportunity to win this computer

      oooh, I could so use a laptop! I’ve got dial up internet at home. With a laptop, when I need a faster connection I could go to one of the local places where they have wi-fi. It would also make it considerably easier transporting a laptop than my desktop, when I go to visit my family on vacation.
      That bag is really nice too – looks like it can hold that laptop plus even more!

      Since Sunday’s not the best day for holidays for us, today is my Mother’s Day. It’s been excellent! I got several wonderful gifts, but the best one was the four minute video my hubby made of the girls dancing and playing, and both saying they love me and thank you and Happy Mother’s Day. So wonderful! I’ve watched it three times already. Despite that, I wouldn’t mind this cool lookin’ laptop as a secondary gift… :) I like the look of the tablet part! I’ve never seen that before and wonder if my mac-loving husband might have use for it for some of his graphic designing. ??? Otherwise, my MIL is looking for a new laptop and this would be a great gift for her.

My 6 year old brought me home Friday from school they made mothers day cards and he remebered my favorite flowers are sunflowers so the card was filled with beautiful sunflowers! He also made me a special vase filled with fake flowers! It will always be cherished!

      I has been my dream to own a laptop! The tablet feature on this is so awesome! I love that you could write on the screen with an digital pen!

      I’m so glad I found your site! You have beautiful little kids! Have a lovely Mothers Day!

      I think this is wonderful what you are doing. Being a mother isn’t always the easiest job, but where else can you work where you receive kisses and hugs all day long? I got flowers for Mother’s Day and my two kids have made me something that they won’t let me peak until tomorrow! That’s really all I want. The flowers are beautiful and I’m sure that whatever they made me, I will cherish for years to come.

      Really, nothing could ever top my first mothers day which was the day that I found out that I was pregnant with my first child. But this mothers day, I am looking forward to sleeping in, eating yummy food, and spending time with my family–hopefully including some time outside!

      Waw! A wonderful giveaway! Would you imagine how stressful it is with two babies, both less than 2 years, and a freaking slow computer! It’s terrible when the girls start screaming and I have to get my on-line work done on that turtle-like! Would be great to replace it with such an amazing Toshiba!

      This comes at the perfect time. My husband never wanted to get on the internet, nor had any interest. Now for the past week or so, he’s been bugging me and taking over my laptop. With times being what they are and with our limited fundage, it’s hard to just get in the car and go buy another one for him. I definately would benefit from this. He can have his laptop and do what he needs and I can take mine back and do what I need.

      For Mother’s Day, I’m going to church, going to my Gram’s house to visit with Gram and Mom. Then the hubby and I are going out to eat while the little guy stays home with a babysitter. In between all that, well, I still have chores to do around the house…..but since I have Monday off from work, I plan on splitting it up. Tomorrow, I’ll just do the upper portion of the house and the laundry. Then Monday, I will do the bottom portion and the dishes. If I could afford it, I’d get a maid. It’s a never ending job.

      Thanks and hope you have a great Mother’s Day.

      What I most want for Mother’s Day is a job. I work full time as a Mother and Wife but I miss working in an office. I miss being able to buy things for myself without feeling guilty from being on a tight budget. I miss getting up in the morning and grabbing that cup of coffee as I go off to work. Where I can complete mental challenges and feel a sense of accomplishment. To achieve something outside of a clean home and happy children. I don’t mean to demean any SAHMs, as they have a difficult and under appreciated job. I don’t mean to imply my kids are not wonderful and a joy to be around. There is just something missing from my world and a job is the only thing that has changed. What I want is for this recession to be over and to be able to work again.

I have two girls (17 months apart!) They are now 15 and 16 and it seems like just last week it was the first day of Kindergarten. I’m so glad I stayed home with them when they were little. Those years can never be replaced and it was a gift to spend carefree days at the park, making homemade playdough and even changing a gazillion diapers. Thanks for the reminder and encouragement to all of us moms to make family the priority in this busy, busy world we live in.

      What I wanted most for Mother’s Day was a little relaxation. We are both out of work and packing to move into a 5th wheel, which should be an adventure with three kids, but I have a back injury and was hoping to just rest and lay around with my kids tomorrow. My husband forgot, my kids have done nothing but complain all day, we have relatives coming for a visit tomorrow and I doubt that I will have time to rest at all. Very depressing this year, but on the bright side, my youngest gave me a card yesterday that just melted my heart.

      What I would love for Mother’s Day? A day to get my stuff done-by myself! I need to get caught up on some computer stuff (I do not have a laptop-I use a traditional desktop) and I would like to get caught up on my coupons (clipping and organizing from the last 2 weeks) and I would like to get caught up on some tv shows – all with no interruptions! And a bubble bath in the evening before Amazing Race comes on! Talk about heaven! And as for the laptop, I have wanted a laptop forever, and said i would buy one when our house sold…it’s been almost a year with no sale, so I am really really wanting one now! :-)

      thanks!

      What I would want most this Mother’s day is just a day with the family. With the way the economy is right now, my husband works so much…the kids are always off and running and we just don’t have that quality time I’d love to share with them. I would just love a lounged day with the five of us.

      Your new baby is absolutely remarkable…CONGRATULATIONS!!!

      Not too surprising that you have a really large number of entries for this great prize, but here goes! Actually, I would probably give this to my granddaughter to use–she is a newly single parent to a beautiful baby boy, and will be going back to school. She will be getting some help (unfortunately, NOT from her soon-to-be-ex husband) but this would free up some money to get the used car she will also need.

I used to work in the non-profit world with programs that served kids.

      My husband asked me last night what I wanted for Mother’s Day. I told him either a laptop (so that when we go to visit his family later this month, I can work from there) or an Ipod (so that I can put on all my kids music and get rid of all the old cassette tapes that is very hard to use these days. 3rd choice is a new cookbook.
      His answer: “You’re asking for a million dollars. Most women ask for about $10-20.” Yeah, right! (He was laughing as he said it, bec. he knew it’s totally not true!
      And it’s true that not everyone spends $1800, but he’s never actually bought me anything for mother’s day. So if you add up from all the years…. I think I deserve something nice.

While certainly far from being perfect, my husband and I have tried to instill values and morality in each of them, and we are astounded everyday to see just how well we’ve done. If I had my choice, I would reward my kids with the laptop instead of myself, as they are the one thing I am most proud of.

      I would love this laptop to travel with. How cool. A laptop bag to boot?! Yay. I think a laptop bag needs to have 2 large pockets on the inside – 1 padded for the laptop, and a second that you can put papers, or other misc stuff you need to bring with you. Plus, it should have a couple outside pockets for the charger, your keys/phone/wallet, and pens, etc. Fingers crossed for this!! What a fantastic mothers day gift this would be. Thanks so much!

I love the features, as well as the fact that it can be written on, how cool and interactive! Makes my current laptop look seem very ancient! I am a writer working on my first novel, my laptop crashed last year and I lost a lot of my manuscript, so I would love a new laptop so I don’t have to worry about losing data again. The swivel screen would be great also because sometimes I write while in bed, so I would work on my book in a comfortable position and turn the screen to what works best for me. The laptop bag is adorable also! Very cute. Thank you SO much for this awesome chance!! I would be beyond ecstatic to win.

      My laptop is acting flakey and rebooting itself so I could use a new one. I love the feature of the monitor being able to adjust the screen. I would use it for work and for home finances, pictures etc. It would definitely be put to good use. Thanks for the great giveaway!!

      Today is a good reminder for me to be a better mother. We’re going through very hard times, and I feel myself letting my stress get the better of me. These are important years and it would be a shame to tarnish them by not spending enough time, or yelling too much.. Today is about them, not me.

      This laptop would be amazing. I’m trying to go back to school for design currently, and this would just be beyond perfect. My husband lost his job and we are just a mess, so no budget for that sort of thing at all.

      I don’t have a laptop only my trusty home computer, which I could not live without. So to be able to take it with me anywhere is just to good to be true. My mother’s day will be filled with phone calls from my kids and to my in-laws. The best part is getting chinese food delivered to my house, Yeah ! But even better is my first grandchild is coming in July and I couldn’t be more thrilled. Happy Mother’s day to all

      I take notes wherever I go. It’s just something that keeps me organized. Then I usually transfer them to my computer. With the tablet function, I’d erase a step! That’s so cool!

      I really like the Phantom bag too, the 360° swivel shoulder strap with quick release adjustor is so smart in a bag. There is nothing worse than having the straps all twisted.

      I’ve always been intrigued with the tablet PC concept. I work with my SO and we travel quite a bit. With that comes a lot of business calls while on the road. I can envision using a tablet PC to easily take notes, such as phone numbers, orders, general information. I’ve read a lot of good things about the Toshiba Portege M750 and would absolutely keel over if I won one!

      Since I’m not a “real” mom yet, I don’t really expect anything special today … but maybe my cats will give me a few extra purrs!

      Today is Mother’s Day and it has been a really emotional day for me. What you said here: “THIS is what matters….the lessons I teach them, the legacy I will live, the people they will become.” That made a difference to me today. Thanks for making me cry! ;)
      That is something I tell myself every day. It’s hard to really believe sometimes but it is so so true. I also am in awe of what an amazing giveaway this is. I was saving up for a laptop when my husband was laid off, and our PC is definitely on the fritz. But still, as amazing as this would be to win, you’ve made me realize that it’s not really what is important. It’s these four boys that are in my care that are.
      So even more so than the amazing giveaway….thanks for the amazing post!

      Well, I must say that when it comes to laptop bags, I’m pretty picky! Number one, I want it to be pretty…number two, it must have lots of organizational features! Number three, I need it to have room to fit other items such as the power cord, notebooks, etc. :)

      For Mother’s Day I want a day to myself…not even an entire 24 hours. Just a large chunk of time that I don’t have to take care of anyone else, or change anyone’s diaper, or diffuse a crisis with Hot Wheels and Play-Doh involving our garbage disposal …just a little time that I can use to spend taking a nap and worrying only about me. Moms don’t get days like that anymore. We don’t get days “off.”
      Even when we aren’t working, we’re still mom.

      Think I’ll get it? :D

      This is one amazing laptop! I’d love to own it. It looks so sleek! The case is amazing as well. For Mother’s Day this year I wanted just to be with family. It was a wonderful day, we had lunch after church at moms and my brother and his family came over as well as my grandparents. There’s nothing like spending time together with those you love. And your right, mommyhood isn’t the most glamorous job in the world but it’s the best job!

      For Mother’s Day, I got to sleep in as late as I wanted (which is a rare occurance) and my daughter made me 5 cards! We will make a nice dinner together and then we’re picking my mom up at the airport.

      I would love to be able to hand down my laptop to my daughter who keeps stealing mine for games and have a shiny new beautiful one for myself!

It would be great to use this laptop when we are away this summer so the grandparents don’t miss out on how fast their little grand daughter grows!!

      This mother’s day (today!) I called my mom and wished her a happy day. I’ll see her tomorrow. I might make her a plate of brownies since my brother refused to when I talked to him today and he’s with her. The nerve to refuse to make brownies for your mother who grew you for 9 months in her womb.

      I’ve kept to the low margins of technology. I worked the census 10 years ago to buy my first desktop computer. I replaced that archaic dinosaur last spring with a newer desktop, but have never had a laptop. My grown kids and grandkids would think me super cool with the latest in laptop technology….I can’t get over that screen! This would be great for taking notes, or running to McD’s where they have free internet to compute and have a cup a java and look so sophisticated! This granny would just ooze technobabble and impress all her buddies….lol. It amazes me how fast technology changes and what new things come out!

      Well, Mother’s Day is mostly over at this point and it hasn’t gone at all how I envisioned it. Honestly, it rarely ever does. I had really wanted to sleep in (nope). Wake up migraine and pain free (I have Fibromyalgia) (wrong again). I wanted G, my 9yr old very special needs son, to have a relatively good day (nada). Take a nap (no cigar). Avoid chores and cooking (check). I guess one out of five isn’t bad right? ;) lol I suppose there’s always next year.

A new computer would be a God send because this is my way of communicating with my brothers and sisters who do not live in the area.

Your post really touched me, because I have many days when I bemoan what could have been, and what my plans have been. My children are growing up, and will soon go away…and your post helped remind me that my raising them was achieving and giving more to the world by raising them as I have. What they do in life will be my proudest legacy. Thanks for the reminder of what is most important in life.

However, this didn’t happen because we had a death in the family this past week, however, the plus side was that I was able to spend Mother’s Day with my own mother, something that rarely happens and I was able to tell her how much I appreciate and love her.

      This is an amazing prize, and I don’t have to tell you how I would use it twenty hours a day because you already know that, right?

      For Mother’s Day my biggest wish was to take a week with the kids and go to Hilton Head. They are getting older and soon there will be spouses and children and life getting in the way. I want to grab them while I still can, cram them all in the van, and go on a road trip to Hilton Head. I want to hold them captive for a week of the beaches and the jacuzzi and restaurant. I want to enjoy us all as a family who laughs together a lot. I want to beg them to freeze, just like they are, forever. So we’re going soon, as soon as the high school punk is out of school for the year. There’s no better Mother’s Day gift in the whole history of the world.

I could really use a laptop and not have to worry about my little ones running away with the mouse or wireless keyboard. I like that laptops can be folded up and put away and the write on tablet sounds amazing (especially the times I sit on this computer wondering where the mouse has gone). What a generous giveaway, thank you!

      Toshiba makes a great computer and I like the portability and adjustability this model offers. I would use it in my classroom to show students some of the great info I’ve found to supplement what we’re learning.

      In a laptop bag, I look for one that has good cushioning to protect my laptop. I like when there are bands inside to secure the laptop in place so that it does not slide around during travel. Laptop bags should also have extra pockets to store cords and chargers in. Also, I love laptop bags that are stylish and sleek!

      Wow, amazing giveaway!! We had to move our desktop out of the living room, on the desk and into our bedroom, on the floor. With 4 kids, the oldest of which is 4 1/2, this is not the idea location for our computer. I would LOVE to have a laptop to be able to cruise around the house, keeping one eye on the screen and one eye on the children! Part of my mother’s day treat is to just sit here, on the floor, browsing the web! My kids are asleep and my husband is cleaning the kitchen! Glad to have stumbled upon you!

I’m sure I’ll like it, whatever it is. It would be nice to have a laptop bag. I’ve just been carrying my laptop around sans-bag. Thanks for the giveaway!

      To all the MOTHERS out there, I am truly deeply humbled. And I stand in the shoes of every child there is and say, “What will I be without you? Thank you. I love you!”

      And to my MOM, you are exceptional! Incomparable! I couldn’t have gone this far without you!

      My mother is a principal, a teacher, a guidance counselor, etc at her growing school, Precious Minds Montessori and High School. And I could proudly say that for the past thirty years or so of her life, she has not been only a mother to us but also to hundreds of children who came into her life.

      Believe me or not, she runs this school without a machine assisting her. Yes, she doesn’t even have her own personal computer. Everything she does, she does it manually. She has published so many books by writing every letter down on a piece of paper before asking us, her children, to type them for her. And she doesn’t even get tired of doing it, because for her this means helping every child to explore the vast universe out there and learn from it.

      If I would accidentally utter a word that would disqualify this entry, I am very sorry. But my heart really goes out to my mother. Nobody deserves it more than her. Oh well, with the kind of heart that she has, she might also give it away to somebody who needs it more than she does. But this is your confidence. My mother is an open channel of God’s blessings poured out into her life. And if this laptop was meant for her, I believe she will be using it to bless all the children who have been placed under her care. And if not, then in time, it will be in the hands of the one who has been destined to have it.

      This is the gift of motherhood. They could freely give what they receive. The finest quality of GREATNESS – service!

      What a blessing this post is reminding us to cherish the legacy we are creating through our children. I would love to be able to win this awesome prize to give to my Mother. She can’t afford to buy a computer and the hand me down one I gave her died recently. She lives four hours away and loves to keep up with all that we are doing by looking at the photos on my family blog and the scrapbook pages I share with her but she hasn’t been able to do this because she doesn’t have a computer. She has had some health problems recently and just returned to work after being off for four months so this would be such an added blessing and spirit lifter for her. Thanks for the chance to win.

I know that doesn’t sound so exciting, but when we moved into this house, I lost my scrapbooking room. Now I have scrapbooking stuff all over the basement with no organization. I am an Independent Scentsy Director and don’t have time to scrapbook right now, so it could be years before I get to that part of the house :) Thank you so much for this giveaway!!

      Ok, This is the most awesome Laptop I have ever seen. Of course you would have to know that I am a newbie to all things related to Computers. I bought my first computer a few years ago. My brother was in awe that I was joining the computer age. He stopped while I was at work and hooked my new desktop all up for me, Imagine his shock when I had to call him at 11 at night to say.. ” Hi!! ummm wondering HOw do I turn this thing on?”
      My mom has a Toshiba laptop, nothing as fancy as the giveaway, I couldn’t figure out how to open it at first.. I know how now. She would love a new computer. She uses hers mostly to keep in touch with all of her siblings who live many miles away from her. Different states.

I tend to do a lot of graphics work in Photoshop and Illustrator and have always wanted to be able to just draw or move items around with a stylus because it seems like it would be much faster than using a mouse for me. Plus I like to take notes and now I use my phone to keep notes in MS OneNote but would love to be able to freehand them and still keep everything digital.

      Extravaganza is right – WOW! Thanks for the opportunity to win such a fantastic prize. When I got my first laptop (ahem, years ago) I looked at the tablets, but they were very new. I went with a huge screen w/keypad instead. Now I think portability is a better option for my lifestyle. A digital pen, touchscreen – sounds like cool features.

      I got goosebumps when I read your first few paragraphs on this post. I, too, am a stay-at-home mom with a master’s degree. I, too, agree with you completely that raising our children is the most important thing we will ever do. I’ve often thought that if everyone would just work on improving their little corner of the world, it would solve so many problems. If we would only take better care of our children, in ten years the world would be an amazing, amazing place. This is how to change the world – one child at a time.

      Happy Mother’s Day – I know the official day was yesterday, but every day IS mother’s day. Enjoy the “present”, it truly is a “gift”.

      I’m a jotter. I love jotting notes to myself about “big ideas,” so it wasn’t that surprising (although kind of funny) that I started jotting notes about a book I plan to write during the wee hours of the night while nursing my newborn. (Written in the dark – you should see them!) I think the tablet pc concept is fantastic.

      As my kids get a little bigger, and I find the right program fit, I would really like to go back to school and earn my terminal degree in education. I’ve never been able to justify the expense of a laptop for myself, but I know that having that portability (and something I can jot on!) would help me fulfill my goals.

      In addition to raising three wonderful little people, I’d really like them to see me work hard to achieve this dream. This would be incredible to win. Thanks for the amazing opportunity!

      This is fabulous! I love your post. You are a great writer. I personally think that raising your children to become good citizens is THE most important job you can have. It all starts at home and how they are taught. I guarantee it is much more important than being a doctor or professor. ;) I am a stay at home/work at home mom and I could really use the laptop for those times when I want to take the kids to grandma’s and work from there.

      Thanks!

      Wow! What a great prize for Mother’s Day. I hope you had a fabulous day. I know some moms like a day off without kids for their special day but I prefer to spend the whole day with my family. In the morning my husband treated me to a beautiful new wrist watch and a mother’s day card. He crossed out a bunch of the words on the card to create a personalized message with tons of inside jokes about our kids. I laughed until tears were rolling. I think I liked that better than the watch! After that we all went out to brunch and then to church. It was a fun and relaxing day.

      I hope you had the same. You deserve it!

      Wow, this is some super giveaway.Needed, too. My desttop model is about on its last leg. I get so many error messages that its not funny anymore. I can’t access any of my documents it wants some long code that has about 20 numbers or letters, that are hidden from me. It would be so great to win this and start over. I live by myself since I retired but I’m not able to get out much and can’t drive anymore so most of my time is spend on the computer. I’m afraid everyday that this one is going to quit on me and I woun’t have anything to occupy my time. Well, I do read but sometimes it is on the computer. I would be oh so grateful to win the giveaway: a high end computer/notebook and a STM laptop bag too. Thank you for sponsoring such an awesome giveaway and letting me have a chance to win.

      WOW I visited the website, and the specs on this tablet are phenomenal. My old tablet was ruined by someone I care for greatly, but they couldn’t afford to replace it, leaving me stuck with not only the loss of the data that was on it, but also my ability to remain productive on the road. Some of the specs that impressed me most about the Toshiba Portege M750 laptop is the Intel® Wi-Fi Link 5100AGN (802.11a/g/n) Bluetooth® version 2.1 plus Enhanced Data Rate (EDR) and the WXGA LED Backlight Display supporting digital pen and touch screen with indoor/outdoor viewing! Outdoor viewing is usually such a chore on a laptop, this one will look great outdoors which means I can go back to working from anywhere and NOT be chained to a desk.

      I am working on my Ph.D, and I have a toddler in the house. So many people tell me it should be a ‘piece of cake’ to go to school…obviously these people have never tried to do so, with an active, happy toddler in the house. Right now, I’m stuck at my desk top computer, which means when I do homework, baby is stuck in this room with me. I’d love to have a lap top so when I’m doing homework, baby can be happy going from place to place, instead of being cooped up in the dining room (where the computer is).

      Well Mother’s Day was yesterday but what I’m still hoping for is a day to just relax. No running, screaming or hairpulling and that would be just me …. LOL for the boys I would for hubs to have a day off to take them and let me have this quiet day to myself! I guess I would just enjoy an hour and half if possible … LOL :). Yup and I would use that time to blog and read emails, what can I say I’m addicted and need a new computer so I can browse even more! LOL

      The Toshiba laptop screen can be turned different positions, how cool is that. It also comes with a laptop bag. The laptop bag is small and comfortable for me to carry the laptop. It would like to own a laptop and not use my neighbors or pay to use one in a internet store. It would be nice if I could connect to friends and family, browse the web, check my emails and use it for college homework and projects. I know today isn’t Mother’s Day but I am happy to be a mom. The best gift I got is my son. I love to see him smile, walk, and crawl. I wouldn’t change motherhood for the world. It’s a great
      experience. It would be nice for me to have this laptop, I have many purposes for it. My son is a year old. When my son gets older, he could use it too:)

      My only daughter did not acknowledge me on Mother’s Day. The first time in her 17 years. She has become difficult the last couple of months and has decided she doesn’t want a mom anymore. Well, she is what I wanted for the day and like they say “you don’t always get what you want”. I am trying not to take it too personally as I know she is going through the freedom/independence phase. I should count myself lucky I didn’t have to deal with that for years! It is sad but I love her and I will get through this and so will she. Tough times. The laptop would come in handy as she has one and I would like to be on top of it if she contacts me. I often miss emails, IM’s or phone calls. She doesn’t reply too quickly if you miss her. Well, thanks for the chance and wish me luck with the girl, won’t you? Diane

      Hello, I posted the Toshiba Portege M750 giveaway in my facebook. Mother’s Day is very special to me because this is my first Mother’s Day. I am happy that my husband has gave me red roses, on Mother’s Day. It makes me feel happy, I am the mother of his child. Being a mother are the special moments, I share with my son. Seeing him as a baby and then growing into an adult. Is what I call a Happy Mother’s Day years and years to come. I know what Mother’s Day is all about and why I should be given the opportunity to win the Toshiba Portege M750 giveaway.

This mother’s day I really missed my mom who passed last year. I don’t know when Mother’s Day will feel “normal” for me again. But winning a PC would certainly add some new good memories.

      WOW, never seen a laptop that the screen turns around on it. I’m in amazement! We lost our home and personal property due to a ice storm a couple months ago ( we had no insurance since my husband got laid off), and have been staying with my disabled dad. We lost our family computer which me and my son would fight over daily. My brother found the one I am on now for 50.00 at a yard sale and bought it for me so I could rejoin all of my mommy groups ( the only thing that keeps me sane). For mothers day the only thing I wanted was for me and my kids to spend the day together. We are trying to get on our feet, so they had no money to buy me a gift, but instead made me IOU cards that made me bawl like a baby. Its the little things that mean so much to a mom, and its amazing how caring a 8 and 4 year old can be. Even after everything they have been though this year ( losing thier home, everything they owned, friends, and mommie not being able to get us back on our feet) they had nothing but good things to say about me, even when I am down on myself. Its the moments like that make me proud to be a mom. I know they cant fully understand whats going on, but to be in thier shoes has had to be so difficult these last few months and they still love me no matter what. I couldnt ask for better kids, and this was the best mothers day ever. I got everything I wanted.

      Thanks so much for this wonderful chance to win!

      I could use a laptop like this for work meetings. I use pen and paper but I seem to always misplace it. With this laptop I could save everything I need to remember in one place by writing on the screen How cool is that?

      I got what I wanted for mothers day, just part of the day with my children and me all at the same time sitting down for dinner. With work and the kids activities this is to often a rarity for us.

      I have used a tablet computer at work a few times, and I like it alot since you can take notes while standing up by just writing them on the screen. For a normal laptop you either need to set it down somewhere to type, or hunt and peck very slowly with one hand.

      This would be a great gift for my mom! She hasn’t ever had a laptop before and I think this one with the tablet feature would be the perfect one to start her on. She’s so busy all the time and has tons of pen drives so she can take her office work home to her desktop and what she does at home to the office. This would help out so much.

      This would be a great contest to win. The tablet laptop seems like the coolest thing ever and I would love to win it. When my kids were in high school I bought the contract to the concession stands at our local recreation complex so that they and their friends could have jobs and a boss (me) that could be flexible around the sports and other school activities they were involved in. My kids are in college now and I still have this business so that they can have part time jobs scheduled around their classes. This laptop would come in handy with all my record keeping.

      I am a student in US and wanted to spend this mothers day with my mom who is in India.I do miss her alot, and I want to gift her something special when I go back to meet her . My mom is not very good at handeling laptops, but she does great with tablets as she is able to touch the screen rather than move the mouse, write with the stylus – to take notes for the day, she is very organised and has always wanted a better interface to do the computing on, she doesnt like to type – so she would love to transcribe her handwriting to text. I love her for giving me the best in my life. She is the Ideal mom. I would love to spend some time with her sometime soon when I go back to my country .

      the “tablet” functionality of the Toshiba is amazing! Even just for using on the couch at home, changing it to the tablet makes it so much easier and more comfortable to use! It’s also great for my college presentations and will be very useful when I teach in the future to use in my classroom

      I’m so in! My laptop is starting to run on empty! Mother’s day was on Sunday, and I got exactly what I wanted. The kids made me a shirt and then I took them to the flower store where they each picked out their favorite flowers to plant. We had a wonderful day!

      mother’s day wish — a peaceful day with no fighting between my husband and my boys!!

      as for the laptop — i just started selling creative memories, I am a stay at home mom, who needs to make some money. In order to get into the digital aspect of the business, I need a laptop and can not afford to buy one — this would help my business SO MUCH!!!

      You’re spot on – there’s no more important job in the world than the one you’re doing today, right now: raising your children.

      I’ve always believed that when you’re shaping young children, you’re shaping the world’s future.

      If you’re meant to save lives or invent technology, you will…as soon as you finish this important job you’re doing now.

      I’m not a mom but reading your post (the beginning) made me so emotional. Never have I ever felt my maternal instincts come on so strong. lol.

      Your post makes me can’t wait for the day when I say, “would you like to wear your red shit or your blue one today”.

      What a great post and a great giveaway to some lucky mom. I guess my comment grants me an entry and even though I’m not a mom and have no use for a laptop since I’m on my desktop all day, my “computer illiterate” mom would be thrilled to have it. lol.

      Also, in my “niche” that I blog about, there are tons of mom’s I’ve gotten the opportunity to know online and I’m going to tweet this promo to give them all the chance to win.

      Keep up the great job you’re doing… being a mom.

With a 7 month old baby, I don’t get to spend a whole lot of time on the computer like I used to, it would be great to have a portable computer where I could do all of my work from anywhere around the house!

I would be thrilled to receive this wonderful prize, as well. I am obsessed with researching and connecting with the autism community and the internet is invaluable. As the mom of two kids on the spectrum, I feel like I can’t ever know too much. The problem is my painfully slow computer. The idea of a quick machine is magical to me.

      I admit I’m not a Mom. I am married to a mom of 2 boys and we’re eagerly awaiting a third baby this fall. This laptop would be extremely helpful in keeping my wife in touch with her friends and family. Currently, we have an 8-year-old desktop machine but it’s slow and painfully stationary. While I know my wife loves motherhood (even the wiping of noses) I also know she’d love the opportunity to reconnect with the friends that she misses while she’s wiping noses. A terrific Mother’s Day gift.

      This laptop is exactly what I am needing. I work part time with my dh just “minding the store”, and I want to be able to work on my blog from there. Plus I do digital scrapbooking and this would be perfect for me, as it is hard for me to climb our stairs a lot to get to my desk top PC.

      Thanks so much for this!

      For Mother’s day I just wanted to have fun with my family (and to not have to do the dishes). It was a fun day so I can’t complain!!!!

      This laptop would be perfect-we are looking into a second computer and this would be ideal! Thanks!!

      I’m with you. SOmedays I wonder what I actually accomplished when I finally get to bed. But it IS worth it. It is.

      Mother’s Day has come and gone…it was a good day. I love that my mom and my MIL are both close so we can see them often. They both great examples of great mothers for me AND my kids.

      As for the laptop…well if that isn’t just about the coolest thing I’ve seen in a while! Frankly, if the ‘L’ works with out having to practically sit on it, I would be THRILLED (thrilled isn’t a fun word to type when that key doesn’t work). :)

I would really like to have one of these, it would help with my college courses and it would also bring me great relief to have a compact computer that i can carry with me, instead of always trying to hunt and open computer down at school or where ever I might be at the time.

      What a fabulous giveaway. I have been considering a tablet for myself as a laptop, well, that or a mac, but haven’t made up my mind yet. both the kids have laptops, but this mom is still on the old dinosaur of a desktop :-( Now if it only came with Window 7 as the OS, that would be perfect, but alas, not yet :-( Well 1500 in the running with many opportunities for extra entries, I can only hope….

      —A Mother’s Day Gift with Eternal Value—
      This Mother’s Day I received one of the of the greatest gifts a Christian mother could receive… You see I am 11 weeks my pregnant and two weeks ago I was told my baby was dead. Ever since my kids have been daily praying for a miracle. I got to witness first hand the faith that has been deposited into the heart of my children, knowing that it was from their upbringing that they were able to dig deep into a well of faith that seemed to have no bottom. I received a gift in the ministry that my small children have given to me over the past couple of months. The Bible says we are to have faith as a child and I know my kids are a prime example of childlike faith.
      If I win this laptop it would also be a gift for my children. By giving me the laptop it would make me more available for them since I’m stuck in the office a lot on my computer. If I could have this lap top I would be able to use it right along side of my children. I also homeschool them so this would be a great help in preparing their school documents. My Birthday fell on Easter and this year and I told my husband it was the Lord’s day and not mine. I told him lets celebrate next month. Time passed and he forgot about my 35th birthday. He admitted he was going to get me a laptop but we weren’t able to afford it after. :( I told him he could have got me a blouse and I would be happy, but secretly I REALLY wanted the laptop!:) SO what do ya say??? MAKE MY YEAR!PLease. Emma http://www.strongquiver.blogspot.com I will post on my blog and facebook

      What I wanted most for Mother’s Day was to be with my children having fun together. We planted lilacs in my lilac garden, went to the Lilac Festival in Rochester, NY, and to a Day Out With Thomas in Medina, NY. What a special and fun-filled Mother’s Day. I have never seen so many lilacs all together in one place. So beautiful and can you imagine the scent in the air? Riding Thomas the Train was the greatest moment in my youngest son, Lukey’s, life. I will always remember the look on his face when he saw Thomas!! Blessings. Hope everyone had a Happy Mother’s Day.

      Stephanie wow talk about answered prayers. I think it is so very wonderful that you are doing this. I am a 39 yr. old divorced single mother of 5, one of which married the day before Mother’s Day 2009. I went back to school in January On-Line. I have an emachines computer from 98 I believe. My other 4 children are very active in school and church. Therefore, I miss out on some of their activities because of studying or vice~versa. This laptop with the bag and all it’s features, especially the spacious front pocket and the padded laptop section would open our world up. I would be able to multi-task, my feet wouldn’t stay swollen to the point of splitting from sitting at the desk for countless hours of studying. I could take the laptop outside and enjoy some of the sunshine and watch a sunset or two with the kids.

      My 15 year old son has Down Syndrome and he is really in to searching for song lyrics and typing them out, complete with chords. Our home computer recently died and we keep finding him getting in to our laptop. I have told my husband my desire is to get him into his own laptop so he has the responsibility of taking care of it and being able to do his own searches and keep his own files. He’s incredibly electronically gifted so I know the whole family would enjoy watching him be blessed this way.

I mean, let’s face it, I’m a farm momma and those kinds of days are few and far between. ;-) So back to this AMAZING laptop.

      What I most want(ed) for Mother’s Day was to be appreciated for being a mom! I have 5 small children whom I have constantly cared for since birth. I didn’t want anything fancy, but just hoped for some recognition from my husband & children for taking care of them. My dear, sweet daughters made me Mother’s Day cards with beautiful drawings & wrote some sweet words for me. That was the best present I could get.

      What I want most for Mother’s Day i will not get until next year. You see, my business just closed, my home is due to be foreclosed on in the next month or so, my daughter is graduatin 8th grade and moving off to high school and my husband lives two time zones away as he has been gone searching for a job. I ask no sympathy as none is needed. I’ve realized through all of this that the stuff we stuff into our homes…is jsut that…stuff. We gambled on owning our own business and lost. It’s jsut a home. We can rebuild our lives. I’ve not lost my husband and he was offered a job today. I’ve not lost my children…they are more precious that anything I can imagine. I’ve not lost my dreams…they still brew in my head. I’ve not lost my beliefs…for they are imprinted on my soul as is the happiness in my heart for serving others.

      I had a great Mother’s Day. Our 2nd oldest daughter turned 18 on Saturday, and we shared in the celebration together – Mother’s Day and birthday gifts – and went out with the family. I have 8 children, and they listened to what I had said I wanted, so I got several great gifts I needed.
      We went to Sonic afterward for a slushie, which we never do.

      What would I do with this awesome laptop? Oh my… we are a family of bloggers, we write for a magazine, and run other ministry/business websites. The list of what I could do is endless.
      However, we have been saving up to buy said 2nd daughter a laptop for birthday and graduation for a few months, and since she designs graphics and websites, this would probably be perfect for her. I’d love to give her my Toshiba and keep this one…. Nah, I’m sure mine wouldn’t work much better for her than her dino desktop.

      The bag, however, I could think of a million things to do with!

      Thanks for the contest. It’s fabulous!

      Becoming a mother is nothing short of miraculous! I have been blessed with 3 miracles. There is something to be said about a Mother’s love and the heart of a woman. I also admire women that choose not to be Mother’s. Women (and men) that choose to adopt or foster a child are just plain AWESOME! Children are a gift and once received we all need to treasure them! Every Mother’s day I pray for all Mother’s to envision their lives through their children’s eyes!

At the beginning I thought–”I’ve found what I love to do! Hurray!” and now I’m seeing that the job has a “on duty every moment” end. I love being a mother.

      I am now at the end of a job that I have chosen for the last 22 years. I have homeschooled my children from the moment of their birth. My son, who is now 18, is graduating this month. My daughter, 21, is getting married this August. My mothering is taking on a very different shape and feel. At times this is a difficult transition for me, but I know that this is all part of the walk we mothers take. God sees and He knows my heart.

      I have taken on a challenge now that I never would have imagined myself doing. It is one that my daughter got me involved in. I volunteer at a crisis pregnancy center. These young women come into our center in crisis and in need of mothering. I use my computer to research information that is helpful to us as advocates and to clients. The case would be great for me to take my computer back and forth to the center as there are many times I do computer work at the center for different projects we have going either for fundraising or keeping records.

      I have added your contest to my facebook page and I will follow you on twitter also. Thank you for the opportunity. You are so right your children are the greatest investment you can make.

      Plus, I’m dying for a laptop. The baby sleeps in the computer room. Which causes a problem as I can only work on the computer when he is asleep. Except that he is asleep with the computer! Arrrgghhh! This greatly limits computer time!

      I’d love to use the tablet! I’m always drawing on pen and paper (beaten old notebooks for the win, haha) and wishing my scanner was working so I could post them online. With this laptop, I could just doodle straight on, and publish it so much faster and easier! Of course, I’d have to learn how one uses a tablet first, haha, but I’d like to think I’m somewhat tech-savvy!
      Thanks for the great giveaway!

      My computer is in my basement, and with two little kids… it’d be a great thing to have to be able to have a laptop and be where the action is, instead of waiting until the kiddos are asleep and sneak down to the basement to do my computer stuff.

      Sometimes as a mom I feel isolated from the world with just kiddos to talk to. It’d be great to have this laptop and join the outside world once in a while.

      I’m falling asleep writing this because I had to wait until DH was off the computer to get my (small)share of time on it. Even though we are both students, since he works in IT he automatically has first dibs on computer usage. If I won this awesome laptop, I would be able to get on the roll with my blog, which is really my therapy, and then I’d actually fit in more sleep, bc I wouldn’t have to wait to get on the computer until so late! Oh yeah, it would also help get school work done more conviniently, with the reliability of a toshiba. Thanks for the opportunity!

I really wanted a new clothesline because mine fell down over the winter, so that’s what I wanted. My wonderful hubby got me a new clothesline and some gardening tools! I was totally thrilled. :-)

      I would love to win a new laptop. Mine is a bit slow of late, the left control key is missing (pulled off by little fingers) and my “w” sticks. LOL I’m not sure how the tablet function works, but it looks really cool!

      What I wanted most for Mother’s Day was just to be able to stay home and relax. Well, instead, after church we went shopping, visited my husband’s grandfather at the nursing home, visited my mother-in-law and then visited my Mom. It wasn’t a quiet and relaxing day at home, but it ended up being a very nice day out spending time with people we love.

And I would love a cool laptop to take my blogging on the road. Right now I’m tied to a desktop :)

      I have been very passionate the past 4-5 months trying to green up my act for making our home a greener home and making changes to being kinder to the environment. I am replacing so many items in our home with eco-friendly, energy efficient products, and so far my going green journey has been so much fun and it gives me such a great sense of satisfaction. I have been working on a business plan to start a small home based business creating art from my original photography using fractals that I create and the one major tool that is missing from my being able to take my plan and turn it into a reality is a laptop. As a busy mother of 3 young kids I am constantly on the go, but if I had a reliable, updated laptop to bring with me, I could work on my projects while waiting for the kids at their appointments, classes, and activities. Having a laptop with Good-as-Gold Green Technology in it as well as having it be an Energy-Efficient Intel would also help to take me one step further on my green journey! I know I am no more deserving than the others commenting here today, but I thought I would share a little bit about why I would love this wonderful oshiba Portege M750 tablet laptop. Thanks so much for the chance to enter.

      What an awesome giveaway :) My laptop is on its last leg–the part that the charger plugs into is loose and the only way I can get it to stay charged is to put a AA battery underneath the cord jack to hold it in a certain position. Does not make for a very mobile workstation… and a tablet would be awesome! And thanks for the reminder that the small things are the important things! Really needed to read that today :)

      I love the portability and ease of a laptop over a desk computer. I am learning the hard way that a laptop would be much easier to use and have. Recently I threw my back out (actually a little over a week ago) and was unable to work due to this. I am a free lance writer and even though I just purchased a new desktop computer not having a laptop for over a week to work was horrible. this laptop would have been perfect even layed up in bed like I was. The way you can move the monitor around and having it in my lap would have been so nice.

      I could have purchased a laptop instead of the desk type and now wishing i had done so.

      Wow! This is a fantastic giveaway! The main reason I’m interested in this laptop is for the tablet capability. I’m a person who likes to make notes and such, but I hate typing. I also illustrate on my free time, so I’d like to see if the tablet function will work with my graphics programs. It would be awesome if I could draw directly onto the screen. Thank you for the chance to win.

      What a great giveaway! I currently have a Toshiba and I love it. I would love to win one for my husband so we can dedicate our desktop purely to the children’s education activities. Right now it’s not fun hearing them fight over computer time I think my hubby is “old” enough now for his own laptop, lol.
      thanks for the entry

I love the tablet functionality — I could see myself using this for countless tasks…journaling, taking notes, shopping lists…just to name a few.
      Thanks so much!

      My mother has a laptop but it’s old and just recently got ‘bit’ by an online ‘bug’. It still works but a new one would be great!
      Also, I am one of 9 children, and another computer in the house would be GREAT news!

So I won’t be able to buy a laptop at this point. So this will help our family tremendously.

      My husband and I don’t really fight over our one computer, but we do share it grudgingly. Having a laptop would mean we could both do our computer stuff at the same time, and then we’d have (a) more time on the computer and (b) more time to spend together. Bliss!

      I am celebrating this Mothers Day with my mom tomorrow! Yes, a little late but never too late to hang out with her. She has been so busy working that she missed us kids this past Sunday,and we all promised that we would make a special day for her as soon as she has a day off. Whats better is the weather is suppose to be nice so i would love to buy her some fresh herbs and help her start a little garden,which she always loved when i was little.
      Have a great Mommy year Stephanie:)

      Mother’s Day has come & gone. Mine was good. I never go into Mother’s Day thinking I want something specific. I take what I get, lol. I received a card this year from one of my sons. I think this was the first time he had ever gotten me one. Since he is a father now I think he appreciates the sacrifices parents make. Anyway, that made my day!

      Mother’s Day is always so sweet, but laced with worries, too. Do I measure up? Am I doing all I can do to show/teach/nurture/love my girls? I’m not perfect, not even close. But I’ve loved being a mom for over two and a half decades.

      My adult daughters show me every day that they are competent, caring women. My pre-teen is in the stretching, searching mode, and I have confidence that she will find her way.

      I think of my own mom. She passed away many years ago. She never accomplished much by the standards of this world, but she was/is a hero to me, and to my brothers and sisters. Her legacy is rich.

      Thanks, Stephanie, for the forum to discuss moms.

      I am always blown away at women and their genuine heartfelt desire to give more than they receive in what can only be described as the ‘bonds of sisterhood’. I cannot count the times I had been completely frustrated with my ex-husband and tried desperately to explain to him that I did not expect a dozen roses, diamond ring or exotic vacation but instead a candy bar or icee purchased while making his daily convenience store stop for a six pack on his way home would bring greater joy because I would know that he was simply thinking of me. It never sank in! Yet here I am, typing away, because an amazing woman’s thoughtfulness reminded me how blessed I am to be of the same sex and proud to know that it is moments like these that make this world a better place because God created a woman! My only wish now is that I had a giveaway to extend to you!

      This was an interesting Mother’s Day for me. My “baby” is turning 18 and then graduating from high school all in the next few weeks. I look back and wonder where the time has gone. It has been a year of struggles for her and I have shed many a tear as I have tried to help her through these struggles. Motherhood is the hardest job you’ll ever love. The greatest gift a mother can receive for Mother’s Day is her children’s happiness. I would absolutely love to see the look on my daughter’s face if I were able to give her this laptop as a graduation gift. It would be an awesome way to make her really smile after so many low moments this past year. My joy is in my children’s smiles!!

      At first glance one might think, what good is a tablet PC. My husband bought one for himeself 3 years ago when his laptop died. I was amazed at all the ways he uses it in the tablet format. My favorite is when he sits it in my cookbook stand and watches the play-by-plays of a live baseball game, while watching the game on TV! I need another laptop and winning it would be the icing on the cake! However, I think mine would be religated to “normal” use or tablet format for meetings (how boring!)

      When my daughter asked me what I wanted for Mothers Day, I wanted to say “A new laptop!”, but I knew that was beyond her means right now. This Toshiba Portege M750Laptop is just amazing! I really like the fact that it is rated “among the greenest” laptops too. Oh…and for Mothers Day I received a BEAUTIFUL handmade card. :)

      Now that I’ve been laid off and it’s my wife can extend her part-time job I am the stay at home Dad. How would I use this wonderful laptop? I would use it to learn some windows programming skills. We have a mac at home but there is more business opportunity and online training resources for windows. I would use this to download a free development environment from Microsoft, start writing some sample applications and show them to prospective employers when I interview.
      I also like that it can fold to a tablet so I can use it to read while hanging around for my sons to finish their swim lessons at the YMCA.

If I had a laptop & carry bag I could take it from room to room & let me tell you what a miracle that would be. It would be like Heaven =) Then babies could run a muck, the doorbell could ring & get a response for once and house cleaning would meet it’s match all while I’m happily doing my job.

      Just stumbled across this through a new Twitter follower. Excellent site! Hmm what would I do with a tablet notebook? Since I am a graphic designer (amongst other things), there is little I wouldn’t do! And this would mean I could give my old (well old-er – its about 1.5 years old) laptop to my mom so she can stop being frustrated by the dinosaur PC she is using that she got from my ex (the thing is a 6 or 7 year old compaq presario and is painfully slo-o-o-o-w) She is always running around caring for her furbabies (she works with a shelter for saving kittens and fix N Release of ferals – cats mostly) so a laptop would help her stay mobile and connected. Would love to do this for her. As an only child my parents sacrificed a lot for me, so I would really love to be able to give something significant back! Thanks for the oppertunity!

      I would love to win this tablet laptop and it would come in very handy, you see, at 28 years old I put my family starting plans on hold and have returned to school to earn a graduate degree. The decision to put my family starting plans on hold was a heart wrenching one as I have always wanted to be nothing but a mother with a huge family; however, when I realized after my dad lost his job that I was going to have to step up and help to provide for both him and my mother who has MS I decided it was best for me to continue my education…that being said, this laptop would be ever so helpful in my graduate studies, and it would be one less thing i’d need to purchase in this every so expensive journey i’m embarking on!
      Anyway, thank you for the chance to win :)

      So, I never win stuff (possibly related to the fact that I almost never enter to win stuff!) but I saw this post and was inspired to do so both by the content and item.

      Indeed, THIS is what’s important and you’ve made the right choice. I spent a decade in music and brain research, convinced I was going to help kids through music or uncover spectacular findings about the musical brain through my work with neurologically impaired patients.

      All of that mattered so much less once my daughter came along. I haven’t regretted leaving the field one bit.

      As for the giveaway, it’s awesome, what more can I say? And my laptop has been making highly disturbing wheezing sounds so I’m afraid it’s on its way out. I’d thus love to get a new machine and haven’t yet seen a tablet laptop – fun!

      Congrats on your work here! Christine

      Thanks to my twins I need a new tablet PC — I LOVE my tablet PC and most of the time get others to love it as well! My current one was broken ONE month after the warranty expired – it now has to be plugged in 100% of the time and rigged to charged right(I bought 3 year warranty instead of 5 stupid mistake). SO this would be the best — plus my husband forgot Mother’s Day and I got nothing so this would make up or that and take him OFF the hook!

      I’m a 27yr old, first time preggo. So I’m technically a mother but not quite yet, and I go to school part time as I work full time. It’s hard to juggle all three, especially when my reason for being is trying to get comfy in my stomach while I’m racing hungrily to class. Anyway I took out a pay day loan (the worst) two years ago to buy an old laptop from a corporation that was upgrading computers. Needless to say, two years is a long time for electronics now-a-days. The laptop isn’t old…but with the way technology moves, these days…my laptop is ANCIENT!! It moves at the speed of “snail” and it’s a real burden when I need to meet a tight deadline but my computer takes over 20 minutes just to get up and running. I say that to say…I NEED A NEW LAPTOP!!! It would make school, work, and this pregnancy go a lot smoother!!! PICK ME!!! Thank you!

      First, this past mother’s day was my first as a step-mom. I have a son (age 8) but have gained three step daughters. The girls were with their mothers of course but I received wonderful phone calls and emails. I’d absolutely LOVE to have the laptop, I would use it for doing client consults, event registrations, and a whole host of other functions which I currently do on paper. Being able to take it with me I could show off my work via presentation and collect all of the information I need from my clients and helps the environment because I can maintain all of my client files electronically.

      All I wanted growing up was to be a mom. There are many days that I too think of all I could be doing besides “the same ole’, same ole’” each and everyday. Yet at the end of the day, or week, I can look back on it all and see how fulfilling my life truly is. For Mother’s Day I wanted to just spend a day together as a family, and that is exactly what I got!

      We could really use this laptop, as our home computer is going kaput on us! Plus I would love to have a laptop like this one for travel.

      Thanks.

      Love the bag too! We take our laptop when we travel to visit hubby’s family, and we take it with us on our adoption trips to China as well. this bag would be so much more fun than our sensible old black one!

      I received a special surprise for Mother’s Day. My hubby drives trucks, and was not supposed to return until June 17. Well, after I got out of church and turned on my cellphone, there was a text message from him telling me call him when I got home – and he was home when I got there. No, he did not lavish me with expensive gifts, as we did not have the money that day, but his presence and sacrifice to see me was more than enough…

      I have recently left the workforce to stay home with our kids (all 5 of them) and start a virtual admin business. Because the small business admin field is quickly turning web-based – I could SO use this as an upgrade to my current [dinosaur] computer!! Unfortunately, purchasing one right now is not an option – winning one would be perfect!

      This laptop is really cool! I saw a similer one in some store and was so impressed. I love that it can turn into a tablet. I know I can not afford such a laptop now. If I won I would give it to myself for mother’s day!

      Dear metropolitanmama,

      As a college student and mother of three vibrant and busy children, I dream of having access to a computer that could meet the needs of the entire family. I would love to simultaneously hold my sleeping baby and write research papers from any location. I also have an aspiring artist and an avid writer who would enjoy sharing this wonderful resource with me. My husband might even give up his old laptop with the missing “v” key if we win. Who knows?

      Hi Metropolitan Mama,

      Motherhood is, without a doubt, the most momentous job in the world. My life is so enriched because of being a mom and I appreciate even the daily responsibilities of being a mom. The Toshiba Protégé would be a great help to our family in allowing me to tend to my responsibilities as a single-mom more effectively.

      I currently have a laptop that was used when it was given to me over five years ago. Being that it is outdated, it doesn’t have a functioning CD drive, stalls daily while accessing the internet, and does not have the ability to access Wi-Fi while I’m at work. Recently, it has been starting to shock me as well. Needless to say, it’s definitely a bummer. Yet, with a child starting college next week and another in grade school, a laptop purchase seems far too extravagant.

      I can’t tell you how excited I’d to be chosen. The Protégé would not only allow me to start working from home to some degree, but would also be a great way for the kids to keep in touch when our son goes away to school.

      No matter whom the winner is, thanks for the contest!

      All I want for Mother’s day…..hmmm. I want wake up to a kiss from my husband rather than the cries of my son. I want to be served breakfast rather than sweat over a hot griddle of pancakes. I want the dishwasher to be empty when I open it. Most of all, I want dinner to be made, by some one other than me and I want it to be eaten (and enjoyed) by everyone at the table. I want to snuggle on the couch with my family and watch a family movie and finally fall into bed and drift off to sleep to the sound of my husband staying up to do the laundry in my place…but not for too long before he crawls into bed to hold me.

      WHAT A DREAM HUH? A laptop would be WONDERFUL too!

      I know you aren’t supposed to check your e-mail or take a computer on vacation, but… I really want a new laptop to take with me next time we go. I have to wade through several hundred work messages everytime I can get to a computer while I’m on vacation and it’s easier to just do it once or twice a day instead of once every 5 or 6 days.

      I love the red bag that goes with it. It won’t look like I’m actually carrying a laptop, just stuff

      Thanks for introducing us to the Toshiba Portege M750. I was unaware that any computer could turn into a presentation tool. The transformation into a tablet makes it a great computer. I would love to have it to use in sales presentations I make.

      I’ve been a mom for many years now and I think the greatest thing I have tried to give my kids was my honesty. I worked when they were little and then closed my business to be home with them. As I now continue to feel more and more productive, I am happy with the relationship I have not only with my wonderful husband of 30 years but both of our kids.

      What I most want for Mothers Day is something I’ll never get. My Mom back. My mom was sick for a very long time, and was a cancer survivor, but because of the pain she was in, as well as the depression that got worse while it went unnoticed, she attempted suicide. I got her to the hospital and they detoxed her, but unfortuneatly later in the day she had had several seizures and slipped into a coma. The only reason I’m sharing this, is that those of you who are so very lucky enough to still have a mom need to learn about depression so that you may see the signs before it’s too late. Love your Moms with ALL you have, as you never know when she’ll no longer be there for you. Call her now, take a few minutes out of your busy days to let her know she is loved. See if she needs anything, most often, she needs to hear from you.

      I would have to say that having a laptop of any kind would be a DREAM come true! Sitting at my desk, with two small children (ages 5 and 2) sitting on my lap, and trying to type or pay bills on my desktop is rather trying at times. With a laptop, I could actually sit on the couch or the floor with them while they play.

      I would also like to start my own photography business, and a laptop would make things so easy and convenient! What more could a mom ask for for Mother’s Day?! ; )

      I’m looking to get serious about starting a small online business, writing and maybe doing some reviews. As with an lap top, the convenience of being able to take it places, like outdoors in the warm weather, helps with inspiration.

      I think a bag works best when it’s simple, but functional. No tiny, useless “pockets”, but a few extra pockets to cart along a notebook, pen, book or things of the like.

The portability of this Toshiba and the ability to write with a digipen ROCKS. I carry my laptop and a notebook binder so I can make notes when I need to. This would be an all in one – and the bag to carry it? TOTALLY BONUS!!!

      I am a homeschool mom with two boys ages 5 and 6. Both of them have been in speech and OT since they were 16 months old. Being in a single income household with these guys has not allowed any extra money to put into something as useful as a laptop. In fact, the desktop we own is a patched together dinosaur (but it does have DSL!) with a monitor that will break your back. My friend, Kim, put this contest on her facebook which is how I found out about it. We certainly could use a laptop to take our work with us when the boys go to therapy sessions each week and to be able to allow them some time to do work on their own in privacy. What a neat idea and thank you for considering moms in this great contect!

      My son was on a tour for his job (props master) last year when, while on a break while the show changed countries, he fell and smashed his ankle (5 hrs of surgery). The show, of course, went on without him. He was stranded in England jobless, unable to walk, unable to fly – strangers took him in. A few months later the embassy helped get him home, where we are both still out of work. His belongings were with the show, including his laptop, and now can’t be located. It is almost impossible to job hunt without a computer and being jobless we can’t afford one. The relief and lowered stress level would be amazing with this Mother’s Day pesent.

But from HOME I do the books for boy scouts and then I do the books for our neighborhood. I use an old desktop Gateway PC that we bought in the late 1990′s. I have 2 boys age 7 and 8 that I love spending my time with so much. A nice new FAST PORTABLE laptop would so help me be a better mommy to my 2 little boys.

      I know a Mom who would be very blessed by this laptop. It sounds like a classic sob-story, but her attitude about life is amazing–trust in the Lord. Through an abusive marriage, divorce, raising two boys (now mostly grown) by herself and finally slander and persecution at work. Her only form of communication lately has been e-mail (since her dad provides internet) and her old computer just crashed! Still she is upbeat, hardworking and encouraging to her sons and praises the Lord. I’d love to win this laptop for her!

      My mom is a product of the early 50′s and can hardly keep up with my 16 year old sister. She doesn’t even know how to work a cell phone let a lone a computer. However, she’s been trying to motivate her self and become independent enough to do it. I helped her do her taxes online, I actually let her do all the work and I just guided her through and she had tears in her eyes because she was able to “do it herself.” I let her use my laptop as there is only one computer in the house that is hogged by my 16 year old pre-madonna sister who lives on facebook and myspace. My mom is trying to become one of those hip moms and in my eyes she always was. I think that having this super cool laptop would be the icing on the cake and give her the confidence in technology she’s been looking for!

      Some of the features I look for in a laptop bag are first is it cute, yes a little vain, second I need pockets the more the better, third how it feels when I wear it! Comfort is important. I love to walk to the coffee shop and blog.

      i can’t ever recall using a tablet so i’d be interested in “drawing” and “sketching” on it. now i’m sure that’s a whole lot easier to do than trying to do it with a mouse. I’d also try do to Sodoku on the tablet. -thanks :-)

      Wow I honestly can’t believe I found this giveaway. I would trade in anything else out there available to win to win this one and it’s so awesome you are doing this for your readers. I am in such desperate need of a computer or laptop. I know we are all in the same boat with this recession, but having a good working computer (mine is a dinosaur) would be such a life saver. I am doing a little work for a friend’s company for a little extra income and it requires having a computer. I’m also trying to build my own website which of course needs a computer. So I will pray that I, or someone else who also needs it, will win this! The fact that the Toshiba is so lightweight and practical will come in handy with the way I need to work on the computer while taking care of a rambunctious two year old at the same time. The feature of writing on the screen seems really quick and convenient too. And I’d love to try that.

      Thanks for hosting this incredible giveaway!

      What a cool laptop- right now I have a desktop (yeah, I know, I NEED to get into the 21st century and have my technology more portable) that I love, but the more I go and do, the more I realize how much I could use a laptop and let’s face it, shallow as I am I’d love this pretty pretty one.

      Incredible giveaway. If I won this I would give it to my best friend for mother’s day. She is a young stay at home mom, who can’t find work. But she loves to write and I really try to encourage her to keep writing although she thinks she should give up her dreams. The features of this computer are truly amazing and really ideal for the work she is trying to pursue but can not afford. I appreciate your generosity with this contest!

      I don’t have a horribly sad story to tell, because I am thankfully blessed with a healthy and happy family. Money is tight, just like it is for a lot of people. I’d love to win this computer for my Dad who just lost his home and had to sell his prized possession (his comp) to help make ends meet. He has lived on a computer for the work he does since I can remember, and i’ve never seen him this sad.

      Oh, WOW! You rock! I found your blog thru Walking Therein. So, hi and blessings! I’d love for Jackie to win it for Jocelyn but I can’t pass entering myself. I homeschool 4 kids and we are leaving out of the country for an indefinite amount of time. Postal services here are almost non-existent, so we can’t buy any books or anything. WE are totally dependent on internet for all our resources. So, with 4 kids and 1 suitcase per person we can’t bring our desktop, In fact I have to figure out our curriculum for next year with as little books as possible. I am only 2 weeks from moving and I am still not done. We have an old laptop that 4 kids have to fight to get time on to get to Miriam Websters or do their school research. Now, the monitor flipping flat is just soooo cool! Thanks so much! I am going to try to enter all the other 6 ways you are offering. Blessings!

I forgot to mention in my previous comment (you asked to comment relevantly and I forgot to answer that question) that what I really wanted for Mother’s day is a mini laptop for my dad who lives overseas so he can have Skype and play chess here with his grandkids. And I got it. My hubby bought it for my dad! But for myself I really want a macro or a telezoom lens for my DSLR, which are both way too pricey with an upcoming move!

      This would be really helpful to my mom who has no computer now and 5 kids (4 of which are still living at home..I’m out on my own). Her only access to computers is borrowing mine or my sister’s laptops ever since the house computer completely quit a few months ago and we don’t have the money to fix it or buy a new one. She’s a mom on the go and really needs something easy to use and versatile like the computer here.

Since my company allowed me to work from my home office, I had to return all of my computer equipment when I lost my job. In fact, I have been using a borrowed computer for the last few weeks. So I TRULY need a new laptop!!

      For mother’s day I spent it and have been spending it with my daughter. My husband works Sundays. We go to church and then afterward the men prepare, serve, and clean up dinner. It’s really a lovely time to be doted on and get to visit with my friends that are mommies too! This is a lovely giveaway.

      What a teriffic gift for a mom on the go. The Toshiba Portege M750 would fit perfectly into my Metropolitan life as a mom. I enjoy reading your blogs on motherhood and all the steps that us busy moms experience daily. Motherhood has been an awakening experience to see the world through my daughter’s eyes. As simple as capturing her exploration through her imaginative mind makes me feel like I’m reliving life. The Toshiba Portege could assist in me keeping those cherished keepsakes moments until one day she can view them herself.

And it was perfect, low-key, relaxing, and wonderful. I realized that for me Mother’s Day is a good day to reflect and be celebrate those who make us mom too. Without my husband and daughter, I wouldn’t be a mom. And I love them so much for giving me the gift of Motherhood.

I have some friends that don’t know about computers and I have been trying to teach them how to use one, it is hard trying to make time to come to my house when they work 6 days a week. With a laptop I could take the computer to them. If I won this I know it would be a blessing from God and a treasured gift from metropolitan mama. thank you.

I know the chances of my winning this laptop are not great, but if I did win it I would give it to a young lady, named Jocelyn, who’s family has been a great blessing to me and others. Their family is a source of encouragement and I know that Jocelyn is in need of a new laptop to continue her writing.

      I would use the tablet function when showing my husband ads for land that we are looking to buy…and house plans, etc. He hates it when I shove the laptop at him, but all I’d have to do is turn the screen! Yay!

      When searching for a laptop bag I want one that is stylish and affordable. But I also want one that has extra space to store paperwork, along with my wallet and cell phone (so that I wouldn’t have to also carry a purse if I didn’t want to.)

      I’m one of those Mothers’ who say “Oh it’s all right you don’t have to get me anything.” So no one does. I do get a lot of “I love you’s” and those are very special but when you have Lupus and are stuck in bed a good majority of the time it would be nice to have a laptop to do my writing on but my time will come, I know it will. When money is tight everyone has to prioritize and I even have to when it comes to my medicine. So another year of hugs and I love you Mom, yes and I love you too.

      I would love to have a new laptop (one that doesn’t take 20 minutes to warm-up like my ‘old’ desktop) to email family and friends (saves me a ‘fortune’ on my long-distance phone bill), blog, surf the web, and budget the family finances!

      This would be a great item to win! I am a mother of three and a grandmother of a three year old and am awaiting my second grandson’s arrival. I have just gone on disability retirement and am looking for little things that I may be able to do for my future. I am thinking about taking some online courses and this laptop would really help with that. I have also made some jewelry in the past and have been thinking of doing some of that and trying to sell them online. Again, the laptop would really help in that regard. My retirement income is about 30% of what my working income was, so I am looking for ways that I can supplement it, and this would help.

      Thanks. Take care everyone.

      At first I thought I wanted a day away from it all! To get a pedicure and go shopping and not have to worry about getting my little one in and out of the carseat. To have lunch by myself and enjoy the peace and quiet. Then I realized how boring that seemed and so NOT what Mother’s Day should be about! It’s about being with my liitle ones and enjoying every moment of life with them. How rude of me to think of spending my Mother’s Day NOT being a mom!!! So instead I spent the entire day with my family and it was a beautiful day which included a homeade card from my husband and kiddos in which I will cherish FOREVER! I would not have traded it for anything! As far as the laptop goes, how awesome, for a chance to win such a great prize! My husband and I actually need a laptop. We have never owned one ~ but he is now a full time student and sharing computer time is kinda rough. We keep talking about it but times are tough right now! Thanks for the oppurtunity!

Im enrolled in school and being a mom is hard enough not having to worry about school and my homework and grades, but i get by. i currently have a very old pc that i think i’ve had since i was about ten. I just want it to be easier to get the stuff done i have to for school with a laptop rather then an out-of-date pc.

I think she’d flip about winning such a sleek, modern laptop and beautiful bag — I’m sure she’d love to be able to work outside on our deck and at coffee shops, and I know she’s get a lot of use out of the tablet functionality since she attends a lot of lectures and talks where she takes tons of notes. This is such an incredible giveaway – thanks for the chance to win!

      Wow, what a fabulous prize. If I win, it would be mine, all mine. I share my computer with my teen and tween. (Or maybe I should say they share with me. LOL) For Mom’s Day this year, we spent time as a family planting a garden and just hanging out. I do agree with the others that the best gifts are the homemade as they come from the heart.

      I guess I will leave a comment about Mothers Day. :) This past mothers day I woke up grouchy and decided I did not like mothers day as I was not the mother I wanted to be for my babies (I have three)…I have been thinking on that more and more….I am setting my OWN standards for what I “think” a mother should be…In my mind…perfect…After much thought I KNOW that I am just what my children need. An imperfect mother who makes mistakes but who is real, down to earth, and loves her children with all that is in her…My kids will not remember if my floors are spotless or if every hair is in place or a made from scatch meal is always on the table…What they will remember of me I pray, on each and every mothers day, is the love I give, the lessons I teach through daily normal situations, the joy-filled home that we have and the precious moments we spend together playing and laughing…I guess that is my comment. =)

      I’m going to start school in the fall. It may be for education or art or both. Writing is also a very big passion of mine. It would be so convenient to just write and draw, two things I already do, all day, and have them when I need them. Through my usual method, they end up all over the place. My mom keeps getting on me about being organized. This tablet laptop would only help.

      I am the owner and designer of my own jewelry company/online boutique called Sugar Panda. I started it when I became pregnant with my first child- I knew that I wanted to be a stay at home mom, but wanted to continue to contribute to our household income. I’ve been blessed with a beautiful and healthy daughter, an incredibly fun job, and now- with Baby No. 2 on the way I could really use the mobility a lap top would offer me.

      It would help me tremendously with keeping up with my business and continuing to make it grow- not an easy task with two young kids and an active duty Marine hubby. This wonderful prize would help me more than you could know.

And I would really love to win this prize so that I wouldnt have to sit in her room to have to use the computer( even though she wouldnt mind me going in her room) but i would still feel weird about it. I would be able to sit in my room and use it whenever, where ever. That wold be AWESOME!!! and i know she exicited to have a computer in the house because she’s never had one. and now she would be able to keep in touch with her family and friends.

BUT, my Mom has wanted a computer for a long time so I think if I were to win, I’d give it to her. I know she’d share with me so it would be great for the both of us.

      This is such a fantastic giveaway. I am in such need of a laptop. Our laptop broke a few months back and instead of replacing it with another laptop we bought a regular desktop because it was cheaper. It stinks when I need to do work, I have to do it in the den. I hate not being able to sit in bed and surf the internet and lay comfortably while I type.

      Great laptop and bag. It is hard to find a good laptop bag – I look for something that is lightweight and soft sided – but with enough protection for the laptop – and that has enough room for basic items like notepads, calculator, pens, etc. I also prefer a bright colour instead of basic black. Thanks!!!

      I have always wanted, and have never owned a laptop. Right now we have two very old rebuilt desktops shared by all those living here – which includes hubby, myself, teenage single mother daughter with her now 4 month old baby, her best friend (no, they’re actually not gay tho that would be fine since I think my daughter could do a lot worse then her bff as a mate), my almost 9 year old daughter and almost 6 year old son. Unfortunately for me every single one of those individuals LOVES being on the computer and there have been bloody battles in the living room over whos turn it is to play.

      I believe as a 43 year old mom to three, grandmother before my time, full time working mother (did I mention I work for state? that alone should qualify me for some sort of big prize) that I’m deserving of an amazing gift. Now don’t get me wrong – hubby did get me a card and flowers, the kids made me memory boxes from plaster of paris and I got “skin” for my phone from the teen – so its not just about stuff or gifts or anything like that.
      Well, ok… it apparently is something like that because I SO want a laptop of my own so I can play when I want to and not have to fight the family for a moment or two of scrabble online with my sister back East. That would be just lovely. Truly. Better then chocolate.

      I hope you’ll consider me for this wonderful give-away.

      What an awesome giveaway! I love that the laptop can be used as a tablet… how cool is that! My kids have destroyed my laptop (ummm, with a little help from me I guess… we’re hard on things around here.) I would love a new one!

      There’s nothing more important to me on Mother’s Day than spending time with my children. They are the reason I’m a mother and they fulfill me. However, when they’re not around, this little tablet number would be exactly what I need to be more efficient, organized, and happy!

I had a Toshiba back in the day when a “laptop” was more of a suitcase! Always loved it, but would be so happy to have something small. (My old laptop would not go to waste. DS15 has been begging for one for quite some time.)

      If I were to ask for a gift for me for Mother’s day, I’d ask for this laptop for my almost 10 year old ds. He’s a techie kid, autistic to boot. He’s a great guy, does the majority of his schooling online or on his computer (time4learning.com, brainpopjr.com, brainpop.com). He’s been homeschooled for 5 years and a computer, especially a laptop I can use to teach him as well as he can use to practice and learn would be marvelous! My almost 2 year old dd, Ginny, could benefit from this laptop as a tablet for practicing words, colors, shapes and whatnot. Thanks for the opportunity to be in a kind-hearted giveaway such as this. Thanks for celebrating motherhood!

      I really need my own laptop for college homework and portofio projects. It’s hard because I need to go to internet cafe’s, just to check my emails, do my homework and get portfolios done. Internet Cafe’s can get costly for me.

      I really would be happy if I win the laptop. It would make my life more easier and never having to go internet cafe’s.

      Hello it’s never to late to wish all mother’s a Happy Mother’s Day:) I am a fan in Twitter and been following you. I blogged and sent many comments. I am determined and never give up because this is a great laptop giveaway. I wish to win this laptop for college homework and portfolios I need to get done. I have to check emails, I get from college. I love the fact the laptop screen adjusts, I can multi task with it. How great is that.

      I also would like to show my son how to use the laptop for when he goes to school. Mother’s Day is special to me because this is my first Mother’s Day. My son is a year and 4 months old. I love the way he smiles, laughs and says mama to me. I wouldn’t change being a mom for the world.

      I love him so much. I show him my love and affection, comfort him when he sick, spend time with him, dress, bathe and play with him. I watch Barney with him.

      Women can give birth to a child but not all women can care and love a child. I know what Mother’s Day is all about and give thanks to God for the blessing of my son.

      It’s a fantastic laptop giveaway, I hope I win the giveaway. I share the special moments with my son in my heart. That’s having a the Mother’s Day spirit.

      Hi Steph,
      Having my very own laptop would be just grand! I finally found a home business that I have a passion for and if only I had a laptop I could travel the city drumming up new customers. Unfortunately, I was a single parent for many years and my son, who is now 29 y.o. is very angry at me. Never drugs, never alcohol or anything disrespectful to our household. I gave him the best of everything (that I could afford). This makes me write alot and low and behold I found a home business that allows me to publish books and personal stories. (The company is called Heritage Makers, my site is listed above). Despite all that, I never get a call from him on Mother’s Day and it make me very sad because I lost my mother prior to my 21st birthday, right before mothers day. I do, however, have two beautiful grandchildren, a boy (3) and a girl (7). My grandson is visiting my son in Seattle, WA and as much as I did not get to talk to my grandson on Mothers Day, their mother made a three-way phone call so that I could talk to him later that week. This little boy gave me the best Mother’s Day I could have asked for. I received the call last friday at 10:30pm. He said, “Hi Mom-Mom” and after I asked him how was he doing, he then said “Mom-Mom, you’re beautiful”. This is the sort of thing that I would use my new laptop to writing about.

      Thank you for the opportunity and enjoy your children as much as you can. Be Blessed!

I am the mother of two boys, one of which attends a school that is 30 minutes away (he has special needs and it was the best choice for him), so I spend about two hours of my day on the road. With something as portable as the Toshiba, I could stop in at Panera and work for a few hours.

      The bottom-line for me is that I make my living mostly via the computer/internet, and since I only have a desktop, that kind of makes me a prisoner in my own home – with a ball and chain connected to the PC.

      The freedom to work OUTSIDE of the house – especially during the spring-summer-fall seasons would be such a joyous god-send! I would so love that! And so would my family and my health/well-being!

      A quality laptop would be a genuine liberator for me!

      Well Steph, I can’t give you a great, gripping fascinating wonderful answer like one reader did that she could use the laptop while nursing her twins (YAY! For her..I am so pro-nursing..my 21/2 year old granddaughter still nurses), but since I’m just 2 precious girl’s grandmother (don’t hate me ladies…I did my time having and raising 2 kids) and now get to enjoy granddaughters!)…I would love to have this laptop so that I wouldn’t be chained to my desk in the family room indoors when the weather is so beautiful. I live in the country; in the woods and would use it to sit out on the lawn in the fresh air and do my computer “stuff.” Concerning a laptop bag…first of all, it would have to be colorful, so that when I brought it somewhere I wouldn’t forget it (I’m so forgetful), and also durable because I’m also a klutz and if carrying too much, I drop things.
      Oh well, that’s about it. Love to read the comments from all the young Moms. Also…your little girl is getting so big and more beautiful, and your new little one is precious (and looks like her sister!) Congrats!

      I love the portability of a tablet. I’m unable to sit long at my computer desk due to illness. It would be great to be online on days I’m confined to the couch or bed. I love the idea of a pen with it too. A durable bag would be great.

      This is the must have of laptops. I cannot wait to some day be able to afford one of these, or any laptop in general. For Mother’s day my daughter gave me the most precious gift. A snowglobe with a little girl angel in it. Couldn’t get any better than that!

      This laptop would be great for my wife, since her old one broke. My fault. I saw my co-worker with a tablet computer and it seemed very interesting to be able to draw write on it, change colors, erase, draw again. I think my wife and daughters would really like it. Thanks for the chance to win it.

      Mom, take time to enjoy time with your adorable family because you never know when those good moments are ‘the last time’. Not because the kids are gone, but, because they grow up and leave you wondering “when was the last time they said ‘read me a story mama!?”. When was the last time they said ‘For you mama!’ as they hand you flowers from your(or the neighbors) garden pulled up by the roots… and you tried not to laugh! Store photos and memories on a laptop like you are giving away. I would! They will love to read them when they are grown!
      Happy Mother’s Life!

      This year was my first mothers day as a mom of 6. Our adoption to our 4 should be final any day now. I love love LOVE being a mom. Some days are stressing and some days are hard but when I hear I love you it makes it all worth it.

      I remember wondering how we could do this? When we got our 4 new ones but we made due and we found a way. I thought since our biological son was severely handicap we could never do it we would be to stressed. BUT we have did it and did it well. I can not wait to stand in front of the judge and sign our adoption papers. I am a very blessed mommy!

      What did I want for Mother’s Day? Actually, I just wanted a new watch…a timepiece…so that I could tell time…see if we are on time, out of time or needing time. However, I didn’t get a new watch. I was told I had enough watches…I just need batteries (LOL).

      So I guess. should be asking for a laptop (don’t have one right now) and would love to have my very, very own laptop. Why? I love writing to people, especially my aunts, plus I am a Girl Scout Co-Leader and it would be nifty for staying in touch with my troop’s leader and the council. I love providing interesting and fun handouts for the girls and having a laptop will allow me to have easier access to the internet.

      Thanks.

      Having a laptop would be fantastic! I could do some work from home and keep up my skills I developed before I became a mommy. Maintaining and building my own skillwill make me a better–and more sane–mother.

      Motherhood is never inconsequential. I am who I am today because of my mother. The example she set by her life of selflessness, integrity and intelligence. She was not a demonstrative person, something to this day I still haven’t figure out. However, I never doubted that I was loved and that she believed that I could absolutely anything that I put my mind to do. Motherhood is underrated in our society. It demands commitment, endless patience and last but not least, the ability to let go when the time comes for your children to make their own way in the world.

It got me thinking ‘where am I going to get all the resources I need for college?’ It was like this website was put here just for me. My family has a very low income, yet I am attending a very prestigious school.

I’m so thankful that I can be part of this contest! Thanks so much!

      Most important feature in a laptop bag, besides correct size, is the handle. In my opinion. If you get a crappy handle, it just feels so much harder to carry. Of course, if I could get over my irrational hatred, a rolling bag is best.

She recieves no child support. She is a single mom and works very hard. We all love her and appreciate what she does for our family. Having a personal laptop will give her time to work on part of her job, since it requires using a computer. I hope you will consider picking my hard working mom. Thank you for your time.
