[GEEKED] Dell Mini 10 Netbook Giveaway: And The Winner Is…

Aug 11 2009 View Comments

Dell Mini 10 That’s right, you read correctly: SheGeeks is giving away a black Dell Mini 10 Netbook thanks to the great folks of Intel!

Netbooks are the talk of the town these days. Who are they for? What can they do? Are they a perfect fit for a geek on the go? While I’d recommend something along the lines of the Dell Studio line-up for more hardcore geeks that need lots of power, those that want something to quickly check emails, catch up on a few feeds, send some tweets, and do a video chat or two, a netbook is the perfect solution for such tasks. In fact, for those that are going back to school or traveling and don’t want the weight of a full notebook, a netbook is a great investment.

UPDATE: And the winner of this awesomesauce Dell Mini 10 is Dannielle B! That’s right, Dannielle will be geeked out with a Dell Mini 10 and just in time for the new school year.

If  you didn’t win, don’t fret. There will be plenty of opportunities to win more great geek gadgets in the future. Be sure to subscribe to SheGeeks.net and stay tuned for more!

    Thanks to Intel for this great giveaway! Thanks Online Sweepstakes for the link provided to this giveaway! I don't have a cellphone or other (pardon the expression) electonic leashes. (My husband's term, as he doesn't want those at work to contact him in his off-time!) I would use the netbook to remain in contact while out-and-about. My work also is predominately on the computer, and there are assisngments I have to turn down, due to the lack of a laptop. The netbook would allow me to take more work. I could also use it at home, cutting down on the squabble over computer time with my kids.

    Thanks Intel for this great giveaway! Thanks OLS for providing the link to a great t giveaway! And thanks SheGeeks.net for hosting such a great giveaway.

    I would use the netbook for keeping up with all the sites I have in my favorites folder from blogs to news. Awesome.

  3. willitara Aug 16 2009 at 4:43 pm

    Patting even now.

  4. Amanda Aug 16 2009 at 5:06 pm

    Thank you so much Intel! Thank you OLS for posting, I would have missed out!

    I would use this everyday! I'd realy love to become more active on Twitter and hopefully have a blog of my very own to host great giveaways like this, they make people so happy!

    A big pat on my back, for trying hard to finally get a netbook! Crossing fingers now in hopes I'll be the lucky winner so I can Tweet it to the world. :)

    Thanks so much shegeeks, you're awesome!

    I know, alot of !!!!!!!'s but this deserves it! ;)

    I'd use it to connect to Wi-Fi at the library because I only have dial-up at home.

  6. Charity Aug 16 2009 at 5:22 pm

    Thanks Intel and Online-Sweepstakes.com. You sent me to a great giveaway and site. I would use it as my go-to computer, because my regular shuts down. I patted myself on the back.

    Thanks

    Dearest Intel®,
    Thank you for creating the awesome technology that gives me the speed and power I need to enjoy my favorite blogs, ESPECIALLY SheGeeks.net!
    Love, Becky

    I would use this Dell Mini pretty much everywhere– vacation, waiting for doctor's appointments, commuting… the possibilities are endless!

    Thanks, also, to my darling daughter, Melissa, who has taught me so much about the internet (and to Google for leading me to this wonderful blog). If I win, I'm sharing this Dell Mini with you, sweetheart, and giving us BOTH a good pat on the back!

  8. Betty King Aug 16 2009 at 6:34 pm

    Thank you Intel for creating such a neat little item for us on the go users and also to OLS for leading me here in my seach for excellence. I would so use this as a travel to and from job searches, updating my resume, checking all my info that I may quickly need. Hey I just gave myself another pat on the back..been doing that all along as I searched for a job.

  9. kimbly Aug 16 2009 at 6:47 pm

    Thank you Intel and Google reader for leading me here.
    I would use a netbook for the mobile computing needs I desperately want to fulfill. It would open a new world up for me.

    Happy Sunday *pat*pat*pat*

  10. Anne Aug 16 2009 at 7:41 pm

    Thank you Intel for donating this. And thank you to the google search engine, which gave me this link when I was researching netbooks. If I win I'd give this to my daughter to use, since she is starting community college soon. I'd use it too, especially when I am sitting waiting for my kids to finish a class.

  11. ncschools Aug 16 2009 at 7:47 pm

    Thank you Intel and Sweepstakes Advantage. I would take this with me everywhere and could use it instead of my cell phone to type in reports much easier. However, I would probably give it to my son who does not have his own computer. I patted myself on the back and looked around SheGeek.

  12. Chelsea Aug 16 2009 at 7:54 pm

    Thanks to Intel and Online-Sweepstakes.com for guiding me to this giveaway! I would love to hold one on my blog! :D
    I would use the laptop while in waiting rooms for doctors appointments and while working out at the gym.

  13. Nettie Aug 16 2009 at 7:55 pm

    Thanks a mil Intel and SA for posting this awesome blog. My daughter could really use this because she's just moving into the dorm for her first year of college but we weren't able to buy her a laptop. Crossing my fingers!

  14. Aaron B from IL Aug 16 2009 at 8:32 pm

    Thanks to Intel (You have really been leaving AMD in the dust for the last couple years!) and to my friend Robert from work who told me about this blog giveaway. I would like to have this netbook so that I can actually have a computer I can use on the go again. I have a laptop right now, but it is huge, heavy, and 4 years old so it is getting old. Last time I took it out of the house, it got a new line down the monitor so now I have a total of 3 lines on the monitor. Pat pat pat.

  15. abbyyy Aug 16 2009 at 8:46 pm

    Thank you Intel and OLS! I would use this netbook to keep up to date on email and to be better organized on the go.

  19. biglittleperson Aug 16 2009 at 10:20 pm

    I would like to thank the Academy…oh, no, I mean the people at Intel who have sanctioned this awesome giveaway. Brent showed me here (can I pat him on the back too?). I would use it for anytime I'm away from home or while at home if I'm fighting with the hubby over use of the desktop ;-)

  25. nesta67 Aug 16 2009 at 11:12 pm

    Thanks to Intel and to OLS for letting me know about this great contest. I would use the Netbook when traveling and when I'm at my sister's house and don't want to drag along my humongous laptop!

  26. lauriec Aug 16 2009 at 11:25 pm

  30. Brian E. Aug 16 2009 at 11:43 pm

    Thanks for the giveaway… And thank you to Intel and OLS for pointing us to shegeeks.net; I often have to take last minute, overnight trips for my job and packing a Dell Mini 10 Netbook would be a breeze: instead of a big laptop bag I could just toss it in with my overnight bag with my change of clothes & toothbrush.

    Thanks again for a great giveaway with an awesome prize.

    P.S. I may have dislocated my shoulder while patting my own back.
