CLOSED. Giveaway: Dell Inspiron Laptop

This post may contain affiliate links, please see my disclosure policy.

We are kicking off a week of giveaways with all sorts of fantastic items for kids of all ages.  You will have tons of chances to win some great products starting with a Dell Inspirion 14R laptop!  Whoo hoo!

I got to test drive this laptop last week at Blogher.  I received a sample for review and decided to to take it on my trip.  The first thing that I noticed about the laptop is the dynamic colors.  There are four colors to choose from and I received the red laptop and it really does look so much jazzier than my current laptop.

The computer has a retail value of $480 and it measures about 15″.  My current laptop is 17″ so this was a bit of a change for me.  I thought a smaller keyboard would bother me and I hardly noticed the change at all.  It was so much easier to take along than my big laptop. What I really liked was the ease of the keyboard.  My current laptop requires me to basically thump away at the keys and the Dell was super quiet and easy to use.  One thing I did have to get used to was the mouse which I found to be a little more sensitive.  You can also get the Inspiron in 14 inches or 17 inches and the 14″ will be the one for giveaway.

The computer is loaded with Windows 7 which also took some getting used too but it is incredibly fast.  I was especially thrilled with the super long battery life- which is over 5 hours.

Some models also have up to 640GB hard disk drives- so you can store tons of pictures, videos and music and there is a built in webcam.  I think this would be a perfect laptop for a high school or college student and it held up well to a lot of abuse from yours truly.

    Tomato red is so pretty! Thanks for the entry, I liked both and added to the newsfeed1!

  12. Lisa says

    I’d definitely have to go with Promise Pink or Tomato Red. I’ve subscribed to your newsletter & “liked” Dell on FB.

  15. Lynn says

    I like the red one the best but I would probably give it to my son, who’d probably like the blue one best:).

  19. Amber says

    I would chose the Pink, my anut is still fighting breast cancer so I love the fact that there is a donation being made, plus I LOVE the color pink 🙂

  23. Alice says

    I would choose the tomato red one. I’ve just subscribed to your free newsletter. I would use this for homeschooling this year! Thanks for all of your hard work!

  30. Becca Long says

    I would take any color. If I won I would actually give it to my sister who is going away to college for the first time. I know she appreciate and need it alot more then me.

  33. Malissa says

    I have a black laptop right now that is on its last life, I would like some color in my life. Love the Lotus Pink.

  35. Carrie says

    I follow you on Facebook and love that I get your updates right away. I’ve scored some great deals before they’ve “sold out.”

  47. Ann Moore says

    Promise Pink is my color of choice! Well, my daughter would rather have purple, but since that isn’t a choice… pink it is!

  50. Nikki says

    I have a dell now that I love but sadly after some long all nighters and a little too much carting around at college it has been going downhill, so soon I’ll have to be on the search for a new dell to replace it. (I call it my CIA laptop because it’s really big and all black and looks like its holding some important national secrets haha)

    SO I would LOVE to win this cute dell laptop! I would love to get it in red because red is my school’s color and it would fit in perfectly! Thanks!
