Sony Vaio Laptop and Microsoft Office {giveaway}

The entry period for this giveaway is now closed, but check out this section for open Giveaways!

It’s summer!

You should be outside, sitting in a lounge chair on a shaded patio with your feet up, sipping on a cold cocktail and doing absolutely nothing…

But we know you. You’re a workaholic. Or a blogaholic. Or a surfaholic (the web kind, not the wave kind).

So we understand that it’s not all that easy to just “be outside.” Sure your iDroidberry is good enough for a quick 140-character update or posting photos to facestagram, but when you have to send a 4-page email to your boss, or compose that brilliant return-to-blogging blog post (*ahem*), or just cruise through TasteSpotting in all its full-size glory while you’re eating some fish tacos by the pool…

You need a laptop to take it to go.

So thanks to our friends at Microsoft Windows we’re giving away a summery silver Sony Vaio ‘Y’ series laptop, which comes loaded with Microsoft Office Professional 2010, to our favorite (totally randomly chosen) TasteSpotting community member!!

And hey, even if you already have one or don’t need one, surely you know someone who would love a laptop for a birthday, graduation, or Father’s Day.

How to Enter this Laptop Giveaway:

Please make sure you follow the directions!

Pin, or post to facebook, or tweet this giveaway post and please say something along the lines of “Laptop giveaway from @TasteSpotting and @Office. Enter here: http://is.gd/TasteSpottingLaptopGiveaway #TasteSpottingToGo” (don’t worry, we set up the link for you. http://is.gd/TasteSpottingLaptopGiveaway links to this post.)
Come back here to this post and comment:

with a link to your pin, facebook status, or tweet (so we know you did it) and
tell us what you’re going to do with your new laptop if you get it!

That’s it! You have until next Friday June 8 to enter.

(This giveaway is only open to US residents, sorry non-US friends! We’ll work on the next one for you!)

If you have questions, drop us a line at contact@tastespotting.com

What You’re Getting on the Laptop:

Office Home
Business 201 with the PC
Windows PC Messaging
Photo Gallery: innovative features built in to take your photos to the next level, including Photo Fuse, Retouch, Facial Recognition, Auto Adjust, and much more.
Windows Live
SkyDrive: store or share media privately and securely

11.6″ LED display with HD graphics
Ample storage for your favorite multimedia (4GB RAM, 320GB hard drive)
AMD Fusion E-350 APU
Standards lithium-ion battery
AC adapter

I SO need a new laptop. My current one is a 2006 Compaq. It’s “vintage,” which is only cool if you are talking about wine or clothing. Help me! =)

OH! Right. Well, with my newly updated and no longer vintage laptop, I shall finally be able to do really awesome things like skype, watch movies, and surf the internet at warp speed–just like all the other cool kids! Isn’t that exciting? I’ve never skyped before in my life.

If I had a new laptop? I would enter into grad school this fall with a confidence and drive which is currently faltering right now as I am completing my undergrad. Symbolically, my 2008 black macbook I bought Fresgman year is dying, so I am ready for Tastespotting to provide me with the most valuable school supply! Also I’m a huge fan!!! I tell everyone abt ur amazing “food porn” website. Keep up the goodwork and please consider this poor college student foodie :D

Karami May 30, 2012 at 8:25 am

Hi! I currently have a Dell laptop that enjoys lighting itself on fire. I’ve had to replace the battery twice and the power cord three times! I’d love to have a new laptop that doesn’t smoke and overheat for no apparent reason. I also LOVE Tastespotting, I’ve discovered so many amazing bloggers and tasty recipes!
Plus, as an expectant first-time mom, I’d love to be able to share pictures and videos of the baby with friends and family!

My current laptop doesn’t support a lot of programs so it’d be very useful to have this one. I’d use this laptop for work on the food magazine I’m starting at my college in the fall! And work on my photo editing and design skills, and of course my food blog :). In addition to the usual laptop pursuits like watching movies and shows online ^^;

If I win, I will probably give the computer to my hard-working boyfriend so he can write a masterpiece of a dissertation on multiculturalism. His current laptop is definitely on its last legs, so this would be a lifesaver!

Thanks for organizing this!

Oops, missed something. Disregard previous comment.

I’d use this laptop to replace mine that broke last year. I’m not cut out for desktop life.

Ryan Thompson May 30, 2012 at 9:54 am

Could really use a laptop, my last one broke 2 years ago. I haven’t been able to afford to replace it yet. A laptop is a life saver, you can work, play and even sleep on it LOL just kidding. But i would love to have a laptop again, So useful.

I would use this laptop to manage my food blog – I’ve been using a discarded work laptop for the last few years with just a few MBs left on the hard drive and virtually no memory – I’d also use it in the kitchen to pull up recipes on the fly.

the minty May 30, 2012 at 10:27 am

If I won, I’d use this laptop as my blogging-only laptop. I have another laptop (the one I’m on now) that I tote back and forth to work (a high school) every day. I’d love to have a computer that stays at home and is devoted to blogging (and doesn’t have a ton of teaching stuff on it crowding up the desktop)!

Hania May 30, 2012 at 10:42 am

I don’t have an I Pad, an I Pod or anything quick that I can take with me. I do have a old time sit on desk computer. When I’m in the kitchen, I have to print out recipes from online and it would save on time and paper, to have a laptop. Also, when visiting my daughter in Missouri, I can just bring my laptop so I don’t have to ask to use her computer to do work.

Colleen C May 30, 2012 at 10:50 am

Carly Patterson May 30, 2012 at 1:33 pm

I need a new laptop to save myself and my family (and my dog) from the wretched “wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeee” sound my current laptop makes. Plus, this laptop has helped us return from the red zone grad school put us in, and makes sure we pay our bills on time and heck, we’ve even kept track enough that we’re *ahead* on payments (much thanks to Microsoft Word, Excel and OneNote, btw). I’m afraid that once this thing croaks – which it is currently *not* workable without being plugged in, and has given me not only the blue screen of death, but a grey screen, gold screen, red screen, and green screen (yeah, I have no idea…) – we’ll surely miss a payment of two and *definitely* not be able to afford a new laptop until…tax returns? idk.

So…yeah…I’d use the laptop to keep us on track. :-)

If I won this laptop I would use it for:
1. Celebrating that I own a laptop and can now take my work to cafes!
2. Recipe testing without having to print all those pages!
3. Basically anything food-related, but mostly keeping the inspiration alive for my cooking classes and brand new Etsy bakeshop!

Wheee! Thanks! :)

I haven’t had a laptop in years and have often thought how convenient it’d be to have one again! I could surf Tastespotting in bed, set it up in the kitchen to watch “how to” videos on cooking techniques and read recipes off a full screen instead of constantly scrolling back and forth on my blackberry. Fingers crossed!

Shannon Schulte May 30, 2012 at 2:46 pm

With this Lap Top I would provide my chilren with endless amounts of entertainment (my 2 year old daughter always announces that she loves the “peter” everytime someone has a laptop around, her mispronouncation is both hilarious and disturbing). I would also use the lap top as a means to continue my education. I dream of one day growing into a position of leadership within the organization i currently work. I also would blog, browse pinterest endlessly and update my facebook status every 2 hours. When my kids arent playing games on it. =)

The reason for needing this laptop is because I just enrolled into college in the fall. I graduated high school in 2009 so it’s SUPER stressful with such a time gap between school years. This laptop would let me be able to do scholarly things and make it much easier to be a professional student. And of course…it will make it much easier to look at all the recipes i can handle while I’m procrastinating.

I am planning to start a long-term volunteer project which would require me to live at the volunteer site. My current laptop (2007) is decimated (keyboard, power cord, screen…all broken) and I’m not sure whether I would have the room or security to take my desktop with me. I’m hoping to take online courses to finish my BA in English during my volunteer term(s), so a new laptop would be immensely helpful and useful, solving many of my problems. Any money saved would go into helping me pay for orientation for out-of-state long-term volunteer projects, as that is my post-graduation goal.

My 2005 toshiba laptop is like the undead of the world of computers. It would be nice to type on something that wasn’t missing keys or could use normal programs like skype without having a computer seizure. Speaking of skype I could finally video chat with my brother in the peace corps, he is stationed in the Ukraine. We like to cook the same meal at the same time and eat it together so its almost like we are eating family dinner together-on different continents. That way we can share food and recipes even if I wont be able to see him for a long time. My computer can’t handle video chatting anymore, but he is stationed there for another two years. I’ve never won anything before but there is always a chance right?

I took the past three years between undergrad and grad to work for a wonderful non-profit [check them out: allthedifference.org :)] and have no real $ to buy a new one for school. My current laptop was purchased in 2005 and is missing both ATL and CTRL keys (long story). Thanks for considering!:)

My mom is getting older, and wants to switch from the physically demanding job of teaching special education (she got punched the other day) to her old career of accounting and bookkeeping. But since her computer is over 10 years old, she can’t run the software she needs, and we can’t really afford a new laptop. If I won, I would give this laptop to my mom, so that she can go back to doing what she loves (although I’ll never understand how she could love accounting :P).

If I won the Sony Vaio Laptop, I’d give it to my daughters so they can become computer geniuses over the summer. I’d also edit videos on it with my Sony Camcorder naturally!

Bee May 31, 2012 at 10:40 am

I love Sony Vaio and it’s the only laptop I use. My website looks the BEST on a Sony Vaio as I had done side-by-side comparison on all major laptops. :)

I would use the laptop while sitting outside in the sun watching my 3 year old son play. I’d also use it to organize my baking thoughts, ideas, photos, and more. I’d like to open a bakery someday and I think I could use the laptop to fuel my motivation and organizational skills and create photo galleries of my cupcakes, pies, cookies, and cakes. And look for inspiration from Tastespotting!

It will be the story of my mother’s life, growing up in Los Angeles, from the 1920’s until last year when she passed away. How she combined her Mexican heritage with being a thoroughly modern American woman. And during my breaks, I’ll be using the laptop to peruse Tastespotting.com looking for delicious new recipes to whip up and eat to keep me thirst and hunger free!

Well, everything. My current laptop is filled to the brim of recipes from TasteSpotting plus photos of food. It’s so full I no longer have any free space on the hard drive or external hard drive! My old laptop will be my foodtop, a laptop dedicated to only the joys of food, recipes and cooking. While my new laptop will be for forum gaming, surfing the internet, checking email, working, staying in touch with family and friends. *Crosses her fingers* Wish me luck!

I could use it for writing novels, and my husband could use it to help him get his degree in pursuit of opening a charter school.

Tastespotting is delicious and inspiring! With a new laptop I would be one mobile foodie! I’d donate the laptop to my sister who is starting her own small design business.

I would transfer all of my photos and recipes from the almost-dead computer I have now to the new laptop. And, of course, I would use it everyday for checking email, shopping, finding recipes, etc.

Where is the winner listed? Is this a ploy to keep generating traffic to this site. Bad business.

I’m 51 yrs old and back in college. I would use the computer to finish my degree to be the example to my kids.

If I won this Sony Vaio Laptop & Microsoft Office Giveaway I would do so much work with my paintings, my new love of photography, and poems along with short documentaries about artists. It would be a blessing.
