Feeling lucky?
It seems that HP is promoting their new HP Pavilion HDX Entertainment Notebook PC series by giving away one of them a day for the 31 days between 08 May and 09 June. You can find all of the details at bink.com (amongst others), but in a nutshell, each of 31 different websites will be conducting some sort of sweepstakes/competition offering the new notebook as the grand prize.
This new HP looks to be loaded too. According to the folks at Bink, the prize package consists of the following:
"The HP HDX Dragon comes with Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate (64-bit) and is powered by an Intel Core 2 Extreme Processor X9000 (2.80GHz, 6MB L2 Cache, 800MHz FSB). Other features include 20.1" diagonal WUXGA High-Definition HP Ultra Brightview Widescreen (1920x1200) 1080p, 4GB DDR2 System Memory (2 Dimm), 512MB NVIDIA GeForce 8800M GTS, HP Imprint Finish (Dragon) + Fingerprint Reader + Webcam + Microphone, Intel PRO/Wireless 4965AGN Network Connection and Bluetooth, 500GB 5400RPM SATA Dual Hard Drive (250GB x 2), Blu-Ray ROM with SuperMulti DVD+/-R/RW Double Layer, Integrated HP HDTV Hybrid TV Tuner and 4 Altec Lansing speakers with HP Triple Bass Reflex subwoofer, and 9 Cell Lithium Ion Battery.

The total retail value of each of these prizes would be over US$5,000."
For me this definitely seems like it might be worth the investment of the small bit of free web-surfing time it will take to enter. The first contest starts tomorrow (02 May) at http://www.absolutevista.com/
You can't win if you don't play, right?
