My daughter has been asking for a laptap for almost a year now so I would most definitely give it to her. Hopefully, she would let her brother use it from time to time. (Uh, not likely)

Would give it to my grand kids for helping them with school. They only have one PC for the whole family so this would be a great help for them!

I'd give it to my 10 year old to help with school work and to help give her some space on her own being able to move it from room to room! She always has to share with her 5 year old TRIPLET siblings and this would be a dream come true for her. I'm sure she'd share with MOM too!

I would give it to my son for university!

I would give the laptop to my son so he can take it to university with him. he'll get tons of use out of it and will be able to take it to classes

Give to someone who needs it.

I'll use it as a family laptop for everyone to use in the family room! Thank you.

My girl has broken my laptop's keyboard (and the laptop is already 5 years old!)and if I win, that would be great! I would bring it with us on our coming road trips!

I was lucky enough to win the Toshiba laptop from you last month with Microsoft Office 2010 - it is a smoking system! I love it. Thank you again! I will be tweeting this out so my friends and followers can enter. Another great giveaway!

With my brand-new laptop, I would actually be able to head to the cottage or the Beach to enjoy the beautiful outdoors - rather then being stuck inside the house in air conditioning all summer long, in order to complete my daily work as a virtual assistant. Save My Summer!!!

I have been referred by Colleen Cole. If I were to win I would use the laptop to assist me with my volunteer gig of helping with the 2011 MasterCard Memorial Cup that will be held in Mississauga in May 2011.

This would be of great help with keeping track of the alumni players as they are coming into town and the dates etc........wooooo.........am getting excited at the possibilities of what I could do with the computer!!

Thanks for the opportunity!

I would give this laptop to my sister she needs a new one to use for work.

I would use it to further my own studies - I'm currently using a hand me down computer er while taking classes towards my degree - something a little more stable would be a godsend

I really need a new Laptop. You've heard the old excuse 'the dog ate my homework'. Well . . . The dog ate my laptop. No . . . seriously . . . you can ask snickerzmom, she's seen it (oh yeah, she recommended I enter this). The dog was teething and I'd left my laptop sitting on the arm of the sofa. The left-hand edge was sticking over the side and Snoopy decided it would make an excellent teething toy. The shift key, capslock, and ctrl key on that side don't exist. The laptop still works . . . but . not . well!

I would give it to my husband. He likes to check his e-mails often and we like to explore new and educational websites together.

I'd surf the net, visiting my social networking sites.

My daughters laptop recently started smoking and blew up! She cant afford to replace it right now - car payment and student loan.... I would give it to her since she really needs it for when working at home.

I would keep it for myself! It's no fun only having one computer for 3 people to share!

Snickerzmom sent me! If I were to win this wonderful computer, I would use it for the volunteer gig I have assisting the Mississauga St. Michael's Majors with the 2011 MasterCard Memorial Cup. It would be fantastic to keep track of the comings and goings of the various individuals! Wooooooo..........I am getting excited at all the possible uses for the computer!!! Thanks for the chance!

I would use this awesome new laptop while sitting outside enjoying the beautiful weather and working on my new novel! :)

I don't have a laptop in my family, so I would share this beautiful laptop with my kids and husband.
Thanks for the opportunity :)

I would use the new laptop to give to my daughter who has found the joy of online games from disney and such and would allow me to get my computer back haha.

I would use it to replace my current old laptop that is painfully slow and falling to pieces !

Wow - if I won the laptop I would, firstly, freak out! Then I would use it to store photos of my beautiful newborn son, download music (to workout to in order to lose this post-pregnancy weight) and surf the Internet. This prize would literally be a dream come true! Our current computer is horrible - and we're worried it's going to crash and we'll end up losing all of our saved data. Not fun - but money is an issue unfortunately.

I would D/L or U/L all my pics and tunes!

I don't even own a laptop, i would use this, but i imagine the kids would get better use out of this for homework,

If I had one of these I would be set. I do a lot of computer graphics and my current computer just doesnt cut it. Doesn't help that my son has it loaded with games. If I had a new laptop, I'd transfer all my work to it and clean up the current computer just for him. Maybe even move the desk into his room. He would be so happy and so would I.

Play games on it!

I would really love to own a laptop that I could take with me on trips to visit my grandchildren so they would realize that their grandma is really with it, too! We could also share it when I travel with them on holidays and side trips to visrt the greatgrandmas!

My husband is in dire need of a new laptop for work, so that is where I would use it.

My daughter is in her final high school year and really needs a laptop, so she would get this if I am lucky enough to win it! Thanks!

I would use it as a family laptop. Surfing the web, playing games, watching movies, listening to music, kids' homework - everything! I'll also use it to read everything on urbanmoms.ca!

This little puppy would be alllllll mine! I would use it to surf for recipes, and catch up on emails at night. Love the red!

Give it to my kids, are you crazy -- do you know what Jake and Jesse would do to the poor thing -- lets just say the laptop would probably need therapy

Anyhow enough joking around, I am dying for one of these to make my life so much less stressful. I would use it to read the books I need to review, write up the reviews and verify information online while on the bus ride home from work. That way when I get home I can give all my attention to my 3 kids (ok 2 kids and a husband).

I would also use it to take care of scheduling our busy lives and organizing our finances -- ok, ok and I would probably play solitaire once in a while
Thanks for the chance to win : )

This would be perfect to replace my aging desktop

I would be selfish and keep it for myself, my old laptop I would offer to one of the kids, then I could enter more contests and win more items to give the kids, lol

I would use it to develop a website for myself!

I would use it for my business so that I could help my kids more.

I would give it to my daughter to use, then use her old one to play games

I would be selfish and keep it for myself

Nice! I would like to win it but I think I would give it to my son who has been asking for one for awhile.

I I win this brand new Samsung laptop with Microsoft Office 2010 I would most likely give it to my daughter who is attending a Dental Assistant's program and is using an old laptop which is very very slow. She really could make full use of this GREAT prize!!

I would give this to my son, who is starting highschool and begging for one.Please!Please!Please!

I would use it, because I desperately need it. I work full-time and am also going back to school (as a mature student) part-time. I need something handy, powerful, portable and easy to use so that I can succeed at this new endeavour in my life. Thanks!

i would use it when i am on the go

If I won this laptop I would give it to my brother.. he is having problems with his computer right now and he needs his computer for work since he is a comedian and he works for youtube so if he has no computer he will be frustrated in that he will not be able to edit his films and put them up on youtube for all of his subscribers to view them!

If I won a brand new laptop I would give it to my 11 year old daughter. She is starting Grade 7 this fall and has been asking for a laptop, which would come in handy for school work. She would be thrilled!

I would use it myself. My old desktop is on it's last legs.

I would use it to enter contests, I'm pretty lucky!

I would give it to my twin grandsons to play and learn on...

I woudl definitely keep this one all to myself! I'd want it in a very girly colour so that the hubby and my three boys knew that this was strictly for surfing of Hollywood Gossip sites, crafting blogs and housing an iTunes collection of melodramic, weepy girly music!

I would just sit and look it for a while first and digest the fact I actually won it!!

This would be used as a family laptop! It would especially be useful for those nights of sports watching my husband loves, I could at least be in the room with him a little more and have some semblance of enjoying each others company!

I would give this laptop to a 76 year old family member who wants to learn to use a computer.

I would have to keep this laptop for myself!!
I have never owned one and have always wanted to go and sit in a coffee shop and do some surfin'!

As much as I would love to keep it for myself I would probably give it to my 18 year old daughter who is entering college this fall.

I would share it with my family.

I would use it for work and my kids would use it for school. We'd also take it to the lake.

I would use it to keep in closer contact with my grandkids

I don't have a laptop so this one would be very useful in my houshold, I would use it for getting work done on the go.

I would keep it for myself. My kids all have laptops. I don't. I would use it to do graphic designer, but I will be able to sit outside in my garden, in the great weather! :)

I would use it on vacations with the kids, so we could check email, watch movies, etc!

WOW! If I won this awesome laptop, I would use it for our vacations and road trips. I could keep in touch with my family, upload pictures, email them right away..sooooo many things to do!!

oh i have 3 teenagers so i can really use this, i think i would let this be for them to use for homework and all their social things, i have an older desktop which i use so i think they would love this for themselves, awesome giveaway thanks for the chance

I Would use it to play games in bed.

I'd give my old one to my son and have the new one for me because I want one for when I travel.

My husband would nab it. That would be fine as he would figure out how everything works.

Since my son is starting school in the fall.. i would use the laptop to help teach him about computers.

I would love a laptop to take with me wherever I go,but my daughter has been begging for one ....so I would give it to her.I think she would share with her dear ole mom!

I would use this to help my kids with homework and it would allow them to get more use of a computer our is very out dated.

I t would be so great to take anywhere and have the internet at my finger tips

I would give it to my wife to replace her broken one.

I would give it to my Dad who is currently working on his third novel for publishing :D

I'd use it myself, and offer my old one to my husband, whose own laptop is even older!

I would give it to my Dad since he is currently working on his 3rd novel. He would be able to use a laptop upstairs and be with my mom. Instead of being downstairs tied to a desktop.

My old desktop is getting so slow, it probably needs to be retired. A new one would be nice and to have it portable would be a bonus.

Hi UrbanMoms! Being a newly minted mom of three weeks, if I were to win this laptop, I would happily use it instead of my antiquated little desktop from my university days (circa late-1990s) to tote around while taking care of my little baby bear.

There is so much that I don't know and/or would like to learn about being a mommy and I am constantly trying to search for answers via the internet. Being mobile would open up a whole new world, so that I can look up information on the fly, no matter where I am in the house!

Of course, winning something technologically advanced like this would also mean that I can share it with my baby, play games with him on it and generally learn alongside him. What could be more gratifying? :)

Pick me, your next winner! Starving artist here desperately needs a laptop to do my art work.

I would give it to my niece as she's in her 1st year of university !!

If I won this awesome prize I would use it to help educate my son.

My daughter begins High school in September, so I would give it to her to do homework and projects on it. It would make her life a lot easier

I have use it for my 3 childrens homework assignments and projects.

Right now there's competition for the use of my computer as it's the only one that works well. If I had my own laptop, I would use it and let everyone else use my desk top computer.

I need my own as my wife has a new blog and hogs our current PC.lol.

I would use it as family laptop. It could be used for me for my contesting, bill payments and banking. It could be used by the family for research, homework, social networking and fun..

I'd give it to an Afghan Refugee friend. He ended up here all by himself last year at age 16. Worked really hard at school this year and is going to Queen's this year! He wants to be a doctor and to return home someday. A brilliant lovely young man.

Well since my current laptop is on it's last leg I would probably use it for work, emails, social networking, homework, and little fun! But I would also share with my entire family!

When I win this laptop, I will play games in bed as well as watch movies.

It would be mine and I would use it anywhere & everywhere. Wouldn't that be ever so convenient?lol

SOoo..after..well, i'm not going to say how many years...but a long time ago, i went to University and after several years, i'm finally going back to finish. I would love to win this laptop so i could be trendy like the 20 something kids.

My kids can use it as a learning tool - Alphabet learning games, educational movies, puzzles etc.

I would give the laptop to my 10 year old son who has a learning disability. I would put somw additional programs on the computer to help him with word processing so that he can keep up with his classmates.

I would use this computer to sort through the thousands of digital pictures I have. I could organize my wedding photos and maybe actually get my album done :)

Both of my daughters have had laptops of their own for a few years, and they have been invaluable to them in their school work. You know how the story goes....moms always make sacrifices for their kids, and I'm no exception when it comes to providing them with the technology they need to make life simpler while I make do. My eight-year old computer is still chugging along, but wouldn't it be great to be able to sit in the garden or at the kitchen table communicating with friends or reading the morning news on a new Samsung laptop? Such freedom..........

Thanks for the opportunity!

All mine......to enter contests!!! :-)

I would bring it to the hospital to keep my son entertained while we wait for his doctors.

I would enter more contests!!

I would give it to my daughter. Her laptop is acting up very slow.It's old.

I would replace our very, very old laptop and use it for all kinds of work, studies and reading articles on-line.

I would use it to keep updated on our BC Fisheries issues, and it would be great to have another laptop in the house since my husband and I are sharing one right now.

Travel and remote access would be my uses

I would keep it for myself cause I'm the only one in the household without one LOL! I would use it in my bed to enter even more great contests like this one and keep in touch with the world.

I would love to give a new laptop to my daughter who is starting senior highschool this year. It would allow us to both be on the internet at the same time!

This would be for my husband,hed use it for banking and buying me things from ebay:)
Im sure hed play a few games and keep in touch with family on facebook too.

mitch1066@gmail.com

I would definitely keep it for myself so that I could look up recipes and find great ingredients online for future fabulous meals!

What a fantastic prize to win

I would give it to my son , who has his own small buisness and need it for daily work enteries

I would give it to my youngest son, so he would stop bugging his older brother & save my sanity in the process.

I would use this for myself, to do my favorite things without having to wait for the computer to be free...

My oldest son is starting college this fall and a new laptop would really help him with his studies.

I would be using mine to have fun on the internet and download pictures and info to Facebook to keep my friends informed.

I would use it as a business computer. I have a toddler and am a WAHM, and it would be great to be able to pack up the laptop and get to work whether it's in the living room or at the playground... even if it's just a quick minute to check emails!

I would use a nice shiny new computer like that one to organize all my photos. I really need to buckle down and do it. I should check out digital scrapbooking.... hmmm!

Well as selfish as it sounds I would keep it for myself ; since being diagnosed with a rare neuralogical disease9CIDP) in 2005 am finding I just cannot sit or stand for too long so cannot use my desk top for as many hours per day as I would like to; having a lap top would allow me to lay down and still talk to my friends and enter great contests from Urban Moms

I have never owned a laptop ever and would really enjoy having my own computer as selfish as that sounds. It would give me a chance to better organize my household and organize family photos from when my daughter was born almost 2 years ago. As a working Mom this would be a great asset!

Thanks in advance

I would use this laptop to keep in touch with my family...to help keep my family close to me. I would email, send photos, have video calls with my children and grandchildren.

i would use it to browse Urbanmoms.ca! ( and perhaps a few other things as well! lol )

I would keep the computer for myself to use as my own and give this old one to my kids to do their homework/play games on.

I would use this out on my veranda to do my contesting !

this would go in the kid vault for when they're a bit older and can really go nuts!

Thank you so much for the chance to win this incredible prize. I love computers but i am a bit of a dinosaur. I would share it with Lee and Kalea , our wonderful children.c

I would use the laptop for my schoolwork, so I could work not just at home but in coffeeshops with friends.

(I was referred by bcgirll)

I would help with homework with the kids on a new laptop that could be taken anywhere

I would donate it to the Boys and Girls Club

I would let either of my daughters use it when the home computer is busy for homework or researching.

Set it up to help my son with his school work.

To organize and scrapbook all the photos of my beautiful baby twin nephews!!

I would Love it and squeaze it!
It would replace the one I have that is in pieces all over the table. The keyboard fried so I have a different one plugged in , the screen stopped working so I have a moveable type set up beside it, anyways, This would be a Gift that I would never forget.

I have been trying to finish writing a book for a few years now.

However, I have been battling Lymphoma and between the treatments which cause exhaustion and the fact that I cannot sit at the desktop computer for any amount of time, I cannot seem to get the book finished. It is all in my head, I just need to get it typed so it can be submitted to publishers.

It seems like I am caught between a rock and a hard place. It would be so convenient to have a laptop so I can work in bed, but with the medication I have to buy every month, the money is just not there to buy a laptop.

Thank you for offering this contest. This is one of the few websites that I follow on a weekly basis since my time online is limited by the pain that sitting up for long periods causes.

Here's hoping...............

This would be a definate welcome addition to our household and would be treated respectfully. I have one daughter in highschool and another entering Grade 8. This would really help them with their assignments as the computer I have is very very very slow and the programs are very dated. As all school expenses have increased each year as the grades go up, getting a laptop is out of the questions right now. To win one would be heaven. The added bonus is the Office 2010 which would definately help them with their schoolwork projects, essays, etc.

I would do my contesting out on the veranda !

I would use it to go back to school, as I plan to enrol in Teacher's College next year. I could use it for soooo many things both for work and leisure!

If I won a new laptop I would give it to my amazing husband. About 5 months ago he replaced my desktop with a laptop even though he could have used a new laptop himself. Everytime I see him carting around his dinosaur aged laptop I feel like I wish I could do the same for him.

Wow, this is a great package!!!! I would definitely keep it for myself as I'm in need of a new laptop anyhow and I would teach myself (online learning) how to create websites!!!

I would let my youngest child have it as he always gets last in the pecking order of things out of three kids !!

I would give my children my old laptop and use the new one for saving all the family photos and keeping my personal information away from the kids prying eyes.

I would actually get some time online besides in the morning b4 the kids get up.

It would definitely be used as a school tool for my daughters (and maybe a little fun on the side).

If I won the new laptop I would use it to replace the living room family computer that is now broken sitting in the corner.

I would give it to my daughter as I am on disability and her mother from whom I am seperated is having twins so we cannot afford to buy her a computer so it would be for her.I would have the happiest little girl in the world if I won this .

well I would use this laptop to enter more contests...just like this one. I am an addict I love every minute of it.

I would love to have my very own laptop!

I would definitely give it to my daughter for her post secondary education!

I would use it to finally get my idea for a home based business off the ground!

With twins heading off to University next year a laptop would certainly lessen the financial burden of post secondary education.

I would give it to my 10 year old daughter for her schoo projects and my 5 year okld son, he really loves going on the computer but doesn't get a chance with his father on it al the time working. Hopefully they would let me use it too..

I'd keep it for myself because I need a new computer and I'd really like to have a laptop this time, but my son would use it as well to play games.

I have been considering getting a laptop for my use since after 2 years of having my daughters back to back, I will be returning to work. The older children are already dominating the use of the PC. I could imagine when September hits and school starts again all little hope I had for use of the computer would be annihilated. This would be a great help for work and my sanity winning the laptop. Truly wonderful!

I would give this laptop to my 14-year-old son who is my technical guru! He surpassed my computer knowledge years ago and bought his own laptop 2 years ago. Since then, of course, his little brother has been clamouring for his own laptop! So, I would give this one to my oldest and then he could give his old one to his brother.

I would use it for myself. Currently the entire family is sharing one computer...not an easy thing.

I would definetely keep the laptop for myself! I would use it for absolutely everything and take it everywhere! My husband and I have been humming and hahing for awhile over different laptops. If I won one...decision made!

I would keep the new laptop for myself (hey, mamas need new stuff sometimes too!), but keep my current laptop around for when my daughter is old enough to use one. :)

I would definately keep the laptop for myself, but I'd share with my 12 yr old that begs me for one everyday. If I won, this laptop would be replacing the one that was stolen from me when they broke into my home and took everything of value!

What would I do? I'd definately be able to be mobile!! Heck, I could go to the park, plug in my webcam and chat with my nieces and nephew (3hr time difference) while enjoying the panorama.

With the picture and media editing features (with Powerpoint), my daughter would be able to deliver fabulous presentations to her class! (I feel an A+ coming on).

Ok, really, it would make my life a whole lot easier that's for sure!

I'd give it to my son who is in high school.

I would give it to my brother he leaves for college soon and this would come in handy for him.

I would use it as my computer since I need a new one and I'd really like to have a laptop this time. But my son would share it with me and play some games on it.

It might sound selfish, but I would keep it! I'm a blogger, and I'm currently using an old Pentium 4 with a 40G hard drive and 256MB of RAM for all my blog work. I'm doing okay, but the slow computer really makes some things take longer than they should! I would love to speed up my work with this sleek computer, and eliminate the clunky desktop from our home at the same time!

i'm living in a MAC world...it's been so long since i've been able to use my microsoft PC native, that i would definitely keep this all for myself! the family loves MAC, and for them it's really easy, but i grew up on a PC and I use on at the office, and I miss my microsoft programs. i think i would even sleep with this sweet baby!

I am a Program Coordinator for a local Parent/child resource centre. We are non profit and run on donations. I would use the laptop in my office at work. I would also use it at home as we currently have only one computer. My 13 yr old is always on and my 3 yr old always wants to be on. The only time I get to use it is after both are in bed and my Dh is not using it for work/fantasy pools! A lap top would be terrific! :)

If I won this laptop, I would use for my new job as a weight watchers leader. I would also use it for my comute to my other job in Toronto. My husband and I have been working very hard, on a cash budget, raising three kids and have little money for extras. This would certaily add to my quality of life! :)

Oh boy could I use this lol I'm thinking about going back to college and my puter is dyin' a slow painful death lol My monitor has blown something too and I only get the middle part of the screen now lol Good luck everyone!!!

I would either use it for work ... as a freelancer I need to be on the go all the time...or give it to my mom so she could use it whereever she needs to rather than be stuck in a home office chair. :)

I have a dream I want to see fulfilled... Would love to write and become a novelist. I am taking a writing course online and would appreciate a laptop for when I want to go to a cafe or even travel. With this new laptop, I will definitely create my own blog to eventually write bedtime stories for children. My sister will thank you for this since I am using her laptop now to write to urbanmoms and all members! :-)

I would use it for my message boards so I could watch tv and gossip at the same time! My husband would use it for his message boards and my kids would use it for watching videos of their favourite shows!

My son's laptop was stolen last year at University so I guess I would replace his - and hopefully he would share with me to view all my favourite sites & enter contests :)

I'd use it to write, blog, surf the net, etc from anywhere in my house. I hate being trapped in our basement office space. You never know what the kids might be up to upstairs!

I honestly would try to sell it because we're a little short of funds these days! I'd hate to do it 'cause it's such an awesome thing to have! So better give it to someone who's kid needs it for school or something. So why did I bother to leave a comment....lol....! Or my husband would sell his current PC and use the new Samsung for gaming.

although it would be very tempting to keep it for myself....I'd probably give it to my oldest son for school. Maybe mom could borrow it once in awhile. :)

this one is easy, I would use it myself! My current laptop is very heavy (is good for moving aounf house, not so good for travelling. I would keep the new laptop and give my daughter the old one. Kinda like giving your kids the old car while you drive the new one :)

I subscribe,
I would use this for myself as i am now using my daughters computer in her bedroom.

We desperately need a lap top in the house. We have only one very old desk top computer and it seems that our family of four all wants to use it at the same time. The kids would be so thrilled to have something of there own and my husband and I would be happy to have something new in the house.

I would keep it to myself lol... my laptop is really slow and my PC just died

I would use it to work from home. Our desktop computer is on it's last legs, and I'd really love to have something I could take to the office so that our tech person could install the programs I need.
(OK, I would also be on Facebook a lot.)

I would keep the laptop at my house so the grand kids would no longer think I'm boring with my old PC. Of course I would let them trick it out with games and software to their liking so they could enjoy and share it when they visit, hopefully more often.

We have an old school humongous PC what looks like to be from the 90's and a new laptop would be so helpful. It would be nice to have something a little more up-to-date that doesn't require kicking to "make it work better". Though I'm sure our pre-teen daughter would try to hide it in her room claiming it's for homework use :-)

I would give it to grandma so that she could video conference with all her grandkids. We live all across the country and it would mean a lot to her to see them when ever she felt like it.

I'll be honest, I would give it to my husband so he can play that new computer game that can't be installed on our current computer. Merry christmas to him.

I would use it to win more contests like this one! :)

I have had the same old laptop for 5 years and it keeps shutting off on its own for the past serveral months. It is definately time for a new one. I would use it for internet surfing.

I don't have a laptop, so I'd most likely snuggle with it after checking my email from bed! :)

I would keep it in the kitchen so I could be upstairs with the family when I want to be on my computer instead of being hidden away in the basement. Everyone would use it for email, looking up recipes, doing homework, paying bills, watching movies.

Well, with 4 kids, I rarely get to use our home computer. Since I've gone back to school myself, this would really come in handy, not only for my own school work, but also for the everyday things that need to get done. This would truly be a luxury for me. Good luck to everyone!

I would give it to a friend whose husband has just left for a three-year posting with the military so she can keep in touch with friends, family and HIM while he is away.

I certainly could use it when I travel as my regular laptop is heavy and 17 inches. These new laptops arrived in stores just after I purchased my second one..ah well. They fit into travelling much better than the original sizes.

I have two daughters going to high school this year so a laptop would have perfect timing!!

This would be amazing! My desktop is dying a slow death.

my laptop is broken i would probably end up using it in bed!

I would use a laptop to work on my blog for family out west - keeping them up to date on our growing boy!

Our current laptop is five years old and the battery is completely shot. It takes about five to six minutes to boot up, even after doing all types of computer maintenance. It's not convenient at all to move the computer around our house. With school coming and my oldest in grade 8. I think a new computer is needed for the whole family. One that can move around the house with ease.

I would use it for myself. I am going to University and I would use it for my classes, to write my essays and to watch all of the powerpoint presentations. It would be great to have a laptop because my son is entering grade 12, and my daughter grade 8, so they could use our house computer to complete their assignments. It also would be fantastic to have Office 2010 because that way I know that my software would be up to date.

My 4 year old has taken over my desktop! He loves playing online games like puzzles and memory games. I think it's great for him to gain more hand-eye co-ordination, with limited and supervised use. Given this, it would keep the laptop for myself. I have been trying to convince my hubby that we should invest in one. Winning one would be even better!

Gosh --- so many things I do with a NEW LAPTOP. My grandson's laptop just broke down and a replacement would be just GREAT! I could see his eyes now when I tell him that he just got a NEW LAPTOP computer from URBANMOMS !!!!

It would become a family laptop so everyone can use it for school, or just playing a game!

I would download and manage my photos and music! And I may read celebrity gossip. A little.

I'll utilize it by helping with my two boy's homeworks and maybe give it to my oldest son to enjoy the web. (only things that are PG , haha)

I would give it to my 11 year old grandson and be the favorite grandma.

I would use it to actually work while my kids are playing Moshi Monsters on the other computer, since I seem to be forced to take turns using it too!

I would keep it for myself. I was laid off of my job so I started working from my home this would be a great addition and help out a lot!!

The kids have been begging for their own computer, so it'll go to them. But who's to stop me from surfing the web when they're in school?!

I would keep it for myself and give my old laptop to my kids to play on.

I would stare at it for a couple days, because i have always wanted a laptop, and i would need that time for it to sink in that I actually won it. I would then share it with my fifteen year old who would use it for school.

I would use this great laptop to keep in touch while I travel.

As much as I need a new laptop - missing keys, a mouse that's on strike 90% of the time - I would give it to my son. He's entering his 3rd year of university and needs an upgrade more than I. Maybe he would be kind enough to throw his old one to his mom :)

I would use if for me. While my baby is sleeping I would surf the net

I guess I would give this to my hubby after I stopped cheering. He really needs a new computer. I think this would make him pretty happy.

I would most likely pass it on to one of my daughters who are both in University and could use it more than me.

I'd give this laptop to my son. He doesn't have one, and he's starting high school this month.

i would use it anywhere there is high speed internet.

I could so use this laptop. Then I could give my old one to the kids (which I never get to use anyway) and use the new one to design my kids' school's Website (which I do as a volunteer in my "leisure time").

I would keep this for myself as mine is very old and starting to have lots of problems with it.

Hello...I would use the new laptop to continue to list my goods on E-bay for extra money!! My 8 year old daughter has taken over our current laptop so I have to compete with Webkinz time!! lol
thanks!!

I would keep it and use it to surf the web wirelessle while out and about.

Our laptop is old, and now is overheating and getting slow and obsolete, because the battery does not work any more and also the operational is out of date, becoming a hazard for everybody in my home. As everyone knows nowadays a computer is not a luxury but a need, specially for homework, general knowledge and a way to research to get the best opportunities for our loved ones. So as the one looking after my family safety and well being, I have been trying to find the way to get one for all of us, I hope this is the chance that I have been looking for. Thank you

I would finally have a computer to use again!!

as I can rarely get on our current one!!

Oh a laptop would ease my life... the fighting over whose turn it is...the need to edit your daughters homework during supper or breakfast right before school, the ability to work outside around the pool while my kids have friends over and I am lifeguarding...

I would definitely use it to replace the old desktop pc our family uses that takes five minutes to load a 1 stinking page!

I've been raising my niece and nephew since their mother passed away about 4 years ago. Money is tight on my income and they don't often get things they want, much less anything they need. They are really great kids and truly deserve such a wonderful gift. A new laptop would be a fantastic gift for them, to help with their school work, play games and download music etc. The most important thing a new laptop would do is allow them to use the webcam to talk and see to their dad who lives over 340 km away in another city.

I'd love to win a laptop for my daughter. She will be in grade 12 this year and is preparing to enter university - what would be a better way to start the year than to do it with power!

If I won, I would use this as my own personal laptop to surf the web , and let the kids have the desktop computer for their games.

If I won this deluxe Samsung laptop, I would replace my 10 year old "jalopy" one that is so slow and on its very last legs. Then, I can use it to learn how to publish web pages, how to blog etc. And as well, this new computer would serve as our main computer to use for the family. It would be such an upgrade to our current one and would fulfill the needs of my family.

if I won I really could use this myself, my pc is so ancient about 5 yrs old, hard to get updates for anything on it

I would keep this new pc for our family as our computer is getting quite out of date!

Well, I would be very tempted to give it to my almost-16-year-old daughter, and I know she would want it - but I think I would give it to her almost-94-year-old grandmother instead!

My mother lives in Nova Scotia, in a wonderful community of friends but far away from the rest of the family. We keep encouraging her to get a computer so she can stay connected with us via Facebook, share family pictures, look things up on the internet (her mind is still sharp as a tack and she's lively and extremely interested in world affairs), but she continues to say she doesn't have enough room in her two-bedroom apartment, it would be too complicated to install, what if something went wrong with it ....

I think this laptop could be the perfect solution ... and perhaps we'd need to fit in a trip out east to deliver and install it in person!

I would love to give this to my son. He's getting to the age where he could really use a laptop for school projects. He would be thrilled with this one!

I was told from my husband that he wanted to upgrade. Take his steam ticket and others online courses, So I would give him this computer if I won. I think he would be happy with a new computer instead of our old one that is so slow:)

I would be selfish and keep it for myself to edit photos and surf the net. I would pass my current laptop down to my son because his desktop has definately seen better days!

I would use the laptop for work when I am at home working, plus on top of it I would start showing my son how to use it and get him some games to play on it. He has shown lots of intrest in computers lately and I think that is great and it is time to learn, and it would be a great time to teach him, that computers are not everything, but they can be super fun =)

Back to school means back to school for mommy and daddy too! With 4 children in the house, our current (but no current) laptop lags behind so much that we are always ready to throw it out the window - we don't have the time to wait for it to catch up to what we need done (getting information, sending emails to make plans, registering for activities, taking online courses, and doing homework - all of us)! This new laptop would take so much stress out of our lives just by making things more quick and efficient...er...we'd probably have to make a schedule just to see who gets to use it!

My old Dell finally kicked the bucket, so this laptop would be for me. I need a place to get my photos of my twins reorganized!

I would give it to my daughter is moving home from Australia, this way I can use my computer whenever I want!!

our daughter is going to college soon and she definitely needs a lap top for school work . with the economy being so bad I'm wondering how we will afford it I sure hope I win

My husband and I just purchased our first house, and then our laptop died. It would be great to start teaching our son how to use it as well so he can e-mail his grandparents!

I would give it to my 13 year old son. He is embarking on a new level of education this year and has always been a stellar student. Unfortunately in my community, the unemployment level is at an all time high and a lap top is most definitely not in our budget. I would love to reward my son for his academic endeavours and give him every opportunity possible to have the rewarding future I know he is capable of!

As much as I love my family I'd keep it for myself....maybe

My 9 year old boy uses a computer to assist with his learning at school. He uses special programs like typer shark and tumble books to assist him as he has a processing disorder that affects his reading and writing. We would set him up at home with the laptop in his room so that he could have access to these programs and continue to improve his learning skills.

I would share it with my daughter. She'd use it for games & learning, and I'd use it to help run my volunteering activities outside of work like girl guides, and to keep my family organized. My current laptop is on its last legs & can't keep up:)

I'd keep it for myself. My kid is too young for a computer (although she thinks otherwise) and Darren got himself a new laptop last year (although he'll probably try to abscond with it).

My daughters and their families live half way across the country and I can't afford to go out there, I'd use it to keep up with their news and photo's of the grandkids whom I miss very much

I don,t have a laptop wish I did!

I would love to have a computer at home to use with the kids! They are reaching the grades with homework/projects and I would love for them to have access to a computer at home!

I would give it to my nephew to use for school!

Our existing laptop is making unusual high pitched noises and we're sure it's going soon. A replacement laptop would be used by everyone in the family: Mom - for email, surfing for info for family and work; Dad - for email, surfing for fun and work; 6yr old Brother - for educational games and 3yr old Sister - who just watches alongside Brother for now.

My son is starting High School this year and as he has ADD and our computer is in the same room as the TV it is impossible for him to concentrate on homework if anyone is watching TV. Having a laptop would allow him to sit at the Kitchen table undistracted whilst we are in the next room. I know he would also want to use it for facebook and stuff and my daughter will want to use it as well to go on webkinz. It would be an awesome addition to our family. ha

I have been dreaming of a laptop for ages. I would use it to help in my just starting and much-belated writing career. It would also be my momma command centre, as our current old beast takes forever to boot up and do things... more time I would rather spend with the wee ones ... or writing :)

As my desktop just died, I would use it for everything, e-mail, research, etc, etc.

I would be in heaven to have a computer that doesn't use Vista - I would pass on my old one instead. Selfish, no not really....it's called regaining sanity!

I would really like this computer as our old one has finally died and my son is saving his money to get a new one in place of it, to take to College in January. He is working part time and being a single mom any opportunity helps. Especially since I am the only one supporting our family of 3, (father not heard from in over 5 years!) buying a new laptop is really not a reality with things like mortgage payments and orthodonist etc! We'd be very grateful.

I'd give it to my daughter for her homework and school projects.

For almost 5 years now i have given my very being to my special needs child. Coming Sept i will have to learn to separate for him as he starts school. It will be really rough as its been the two of us all the time. I would bring this laptop with me to the coffee shop across from his school and take some courses online while he's away from me for a few hours. it would help distract me and at the same time I'd be finally doing something for myself. :)

I am currently starting a Masters degree and would use this new laptop for just that! I've been looking for a new one lately, but have been hesitating due to wanting to save money for other essential daily expenses.

Who wouln't want to win a Samsung Laptop.
o Intel Pentium Processor T4400 (2.2 GHz)


o 4GB DDR3 system memory

o 500GB hard drive

o Wireless N

o Pre-installed Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

o HDMI, VGA, USB and media card connectivity

o Dual Layer DVD+/-RW

o A copy of Microsoft Office 2010

I'm impressed.

Mine, Mine, Mine lol...my husband has enough computers

I would love one! Then my daughter could use my old laptop for the kids games she likes to play online.

I would love to tell you that I would give it to my son who is starting univerity next month. I would love to tell you that I would give it to my other son who is starting high school next month. I would love to tell you that I will let my 5 year old son use it so he can install his learning programs and do activities on it. Even more I would love to tell you I would give it to my husband to teach him the basics about computers but who made me get him a Blackberry even though he does not know how to turn on a computer (He thinks using a Blackberry makes him look stylish and cool). But I won't tell you any of that. Today is my birthday and I am being selfish for once in my life and I WANT IT FOR MYSELF. So I can play on the internet, shop, go on face book , shop, Urban Mom it all day and oh did I say SHOP. Yes and Shop. For once I just want to do me and be selfish and I can write this because the rest of my family won't see it. LOLOLOLOL.

I would keep it for me-everyone in the family has one but me! I am tired of getting up when one wants to look up something "REAL QUICK" instead of getting their own laptop out -if i win it they can keep the desk top for their "REAL QUICK"lookups !

Everytime I bring out my laptop it's "Can I check this website out" or "There's something I want to see on You Tube" and "How long till you're finished so I can play games".....and that's just my husband.
My kids would love a laptop to play games and check out their favourtie websites.
Another laptop would be great for our house

I would give the laptop to my daughters to share. They both like to play games on my computer - it would be great for them to have one of their own

I would give it to my husband, who loves to websurf, but has to wait until my daughter finishes using the desktop, mostly she plays on it. It was her xmas present and he believes it will be unfair to take advantage of her gift. He waits for her to fall asleep and then uses it - so she doesnt burst out one day - it is dad who uses it all the time.

I would give it to my son, he used his laptop for everything from staying connected to friends,playing games watching videos/movies and school work. His old laptop hasnt worked in months, and I know he would really appreciate having a new one.

I love Samsung laptops and would use it for my daughter to see eduacational programs online.

I would give it to my DH so he stops using my laptop!!!

I would give it to my 10yr old. She's entering 5th grade and I think this would be perfect for her to get space from her 2yr old sister and get her homework and projects done in her room.

When I click the start button on the 15.6" Samsung laptop,It will be like Alice stepping through the looking glass by taking me to places I have never been and seeing things I have dreamt or never dreamt of,wonderful things and wonderful places.I guess If one was to win this wonderful 15.6" Samsung laptop,one could call It there own Looking glass dream machine.

I would give it to my husband so he would stop being a macbook hog.

I would give this labtop to my kids to do their homework with. I know their grades would improve and give them more knowledge of the world around us. I would really love to have one.

Hi! There are so many uses for a lap top....where do I begin....My son is involved with sports so having it for him to travel on the road, or others to keep up would be helpful. Keeping up with school work for my son and daughter is also a plus! There are so many usefull sites to access and educational ones that are an amazing resource and are fun. When we are travelling, letting family and friends know how were doing is always welcome. I know I like hearing how everyone is doing. Life is too busy...anything that helps make it easier is a bonus! Joanne

I would probably keep the laptop for myself. My home computer is a dinosaur. I use the computer daily for personal and pleasure. Would love to win it.

I would give my daughter the laptop because i cant afford to buy one for her right now and she has been asking me for one for school for a yr now but i was a student and i am not working now and she is such a good girl and a tremendous help not to mention very understanding that i dont have the money to buy her one.

I would probably give it to my daughter I know she really wants one but knows that I would say no it is an expense that I just cannot justify right now. Would be a great win!

I would replace my current laptop with this one if I win and give my old one to my 12 year old neice who wants one of her own.

I would use this laptop to replace my current non-portable laptop since the battery in it died and it is now plugged in and is more of a desktop than a laptop! I would blog and play games on it because any time I have to spend on a laptop at home would be during my son's naptime! My old laptop would get donated to Goodwill because that's where all my old electronics go when I've outgrown them.

I would give it to my son who just graduated Grade 12. He is going back for extra credits and the one he is using is older and not as good quality as the Samsung!He definately needs this for school

I would use it for work

I would keep it for my self , because it would be my first laptop ever .

Gosh- where to start???? For everything! email/blogging/pictures/work/play. could hand off the old beater 10 yr old computer to the kids :)

This would be great for the whole family to use and only for homework and family stuff, like searches,, vacations and any questions that improve the whole families intelligence and education..

I would give it to my wife for her birthday

Money is really tight this year and I'm definitely not going to be able to keep up
to our normal Christmas's. If I won this I would give this to my daughter on
Christmas and of course I wouldn't mind the extra attention as SUPER MOM!

I'd probably keep it for myself.

I would use my new computer to play internet poker in bed. And I would lose.

I would give it to my husband as an anniversary present.

I would use it to facebook and everything else news, email, pics, games.....

It would be great for the kiddos to work on - and then they can stay off mine! haha..

I would absolutely love to win one of these great Samsung laptops! I would love being able to just move it around the house and share it with my family. To be able to bring it out into the living room to share pictures or videos with friends and family would be the best!

I would give it to my son for Christmas as he is the only one in the family without a computer.

I'd play Bejeweled Blitz ALL hours of the day. Literally, if I could make a career out of that game, I would!

I would use it to catch up with family and friends. It's hard for me to sit at the computer due to back problems so maybe lying down with a laptop would be a good alternative!

My kids already have their own computer. My turn! With a wireless I could be anywhere with it. I think I'd mostly use it for searching out new recipes and reading Urban mom

Our desktop computer is ancient and SLOW, SLOW, SLOW!!! We've talked about replacing it with a laptop in the near future....if I won, then the FUTURE would be TODAY!!

It would be totally awesome to win this laptop.
We've been putting off buying a laptop to replace our desktop that is too slow to describe. We keep putting it lower on our priority list and make do with what we have. My son loves to watch some of his favourite children's shows on the net and plays games sometimes.
We would love to win this and share it between us as a family.

I would keep till Christmas & give it to my kids as a Cristmas present. Every year they ask for an electronic toy or game & finances have been kind of tight for the past year so much so that we haven't had a vacation. It would help out tremendously both financially & artistically for the kids & their school work & not to mention our old computer is about to go clunk, however I still count my blessing & can't complain for we still have a roof over our heads, clothes on our backs & food a plenty.

Thank you.

My daughter and I have been saving to send her to university next year and winning this computer would help immensely. Intellectually she knows that tuition money is critical, but this computer would help her fulfill her child-like vision of herself as a university student, in a massive library, writing papers on her laptop.

I would use it for my children's school. Actually, they would get the old one and I would get the new one so I would use it for blogging and writing! Lol!

I would let my kids use this laptop for school and researching projects. I think it would make a great tool and help advance their education.

I would give it to my grandson who is going into grade 5. He has a learning disability related to recognizing and understanding written instructions. However, the school has a special program that is designed to help the students but it is a computer program. While he can work on it at school when a laptop becomes available, he can't take the laptop home. His parents have been told they need to get him a laptop, so he can download homework from school and then put it on his laptop at home and keep his learning at a steady pace. Or better still, take his own laptop to school, where he can do his assignments in school, and not have to wait for a computer to become free.
A good one that will last him for a long time is fairly expensive. I am keeping my fingers crossed and maybe I will be the lucky winner.

I would give my old laptop to my daughter for her games and my new one for myself.I need a laptop for work related and many project I do which includes my Walk to Remember Events etc.

I would keep it for myself, so i could do work at home well i am lying in bed.

I'm a member! (twinado). I would use the laptop to do my schoolwork as I am heading back to school next month after almost 4 years at home with my twin girls. Being honest, I would also use the computer to read my favourite blogs, keep up with my email and to visit my favourite websites during my much needed downtime!

I would use it myself. The computer is on the second floor and I am always running up to check something out. I would enjoy the convenience of a lap top!!

Since my netbook had its powercord die at blogher I have been waiting for the other shoe to drop. This would make sure that it was ok if my netbook died entirely. :)

Everyone in the family has a laptop, except for me. I have an 11 year old Dell that has served me faithfully and now its time for me to expand my horizons and get current with a laptop like everyone else in the family.

I'd give it to my dad. He's never had a laptop - so he's confined to the desktop in our dingy, and window-less basement.

He tries to be really productive, so he'll have the basketball game on or some other tv show, and have to race back and forth to his computer during commercials. And while i do like the idea of him getting some exercise once in a while, he's getting old and it'd save me a lot of grief from having to hear him tread up and down those stairs everday.

That's all! I think it's a great giveaway! Cheers =)

I could definitely use this lap top as my daughter is hitting the age of needing it for school projects and assignments. plus, I am aspiring to write more in my time at home, and could use a GREAt tool like this to get me organized!!

I am praying I am going to have a more intellectually productive year with my 3 year old growing more independant.

I would love a new notebook to find a way to help for literacy programs including working on creating resumes for people with no access to a computer.

Today I was offered a part-time job of being an Administrative Assistant in a non-profit organization. Yeah me (clap clap) I will be posting dates, pictures, events, etc... to their website, typing memos, bullitens, board minutes, etc....... Since we are non profit we have a dinosaur of a computer to work with, I would love to have a laptop to help me do a good job. It would be lovely to also have this tool at hand so if board member called me at home I could do up thier business there in an emergency instead of going to work. Thanks for your consideration and God Bless : ) Thanks MOM

I would share it with my husband cause his desktop is very old.
