This time of year is one of my favorites. The Christmas season can be a magical time to make dreams come true. Experience amazing with Intel! Last year, Intel gave away laptops to 3 people with inspiring stories to share. This year it could be you & someone that inspires you.

Check out the video above and watch Mimi , one of last year’s winners, tell her amazing story about how her laptop powered by Intel changed her life! Then, complete the form that shows in the video window to enter the contest and you could WIN YOUR OWN LAPTOP! My mom could really use one of these! She has a normal accounting job, and on the weekends she works with kids at a local church and writes the curriculum and lessons! She has to borrow a laptop right now, so it would be great if she had her own!

After you enter the contest, be sure to check out some of the hot HP and Dell powered laptops below and score some nice savings!

1) HP Pavilion Liquid Platinum Gaming – $799
2) HP Pavilion Manhattan Gold – (on rollback) $539
3) Dell Inspiron – $469

I could also win a new PC in this program, sponsored by Intel, if I drive the most contest entries of participating bloggers! So by entering you might even help me to win as well, so spread the word.

This post is for my participation in the Intel Influencer Program
