I am very pleased to announce today that I won a HP Mini Netbook from HP Pakistan 2 days back. This came as a prize for attending and winning the HP bloggers meetup. I was extremely excited and couldn’t believe it then. Even till now I am in a state of shock and surprise. I am extremely thankful to HP for selecting me as one of the bloggers they considered. Its a white HP Mini 110-1121TU Model and has the following features:

  • Intel Atom N280 Processor (1.66 GHz)
  • 160GB (5400 RPM) Hard Drive
  • 1024MB DDR2 SDRAM (1Dimm)
  • Webcam
  • 10.1″ Diagonal WSVGA Anti-Glare Widescreen Display
  • Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 with shared graphics memory
  • 802.11 b/g WLAN & Bluetooth
  • 5-in-1 Digital Media Reader
  • 3-cell Lithium – Ion Battery

Its a very light weight machine and I am seriously loving it. The best feature about these new HP Netbooks, is that we can go online without even starting Windows. I am extremely thankful to Faraz Noorani, the Channel Marketing Manager from HP and Khumar from Xenith PR for contacting me regarding this. The funny part was that I was talking to them in a pre-scheduled meeting and till the last moment I never knew I won it. And when I found this out, I was extremely excited and overwhelmed! Its been 2 days and I still cant get over the excitement level…  =P

I am still exploring this beautiful machine by HP with amazing art by the artist Tord Boontje; will post how it is in a few days time. Till then .. Adious!

Attending the HP Bloggers Meet in Karachi!

by Sarosh Waiz on December 13, 2009 in Events with No comments

Just woke up on a boring Sunday, its 1:25 pm right now, and I am about to get ready to go to the HP Bloggers Meet in Karachi. The event is at 4 pm so I think I’ll leave my house around 3:15 pm with a 15 minute drive to Royale Rodale ..

I had already posted about this event earlier on my other blog i.e., PakMediaBlog.net, where I asked people to register for the event. If you haven’t registered … too bad … since the registrations are closed now!

I’ve heard a lot of bloggers from Karachi would be coming to the event. So its a good chance for me to go out there and meet my fellow bloggers for the first time since I had been blogging in isolation because of too much stress on me in in the last 8 months ..

I’ve mentioned before that there is always a good way to blog for brands and in my opinion, this is a good step by HP to jump into the blogosphere and get noticed. Its great to see brands recognizing the importance of social media.

Social Media has been a big thing always.. but it did not get that high recognition .. and its about time that this medium is developing into a proper communication channel now.

See Ya! .. Will write about the event details more when I get back from the event in the evening ..
