In celebration of Valentine’s Day, AMD is showing some love to an inspiring mom or dad by giving them the brand new, high-performance yet ultra-portable Sony VAIO YB notebook PC as part of a “Share the Love, Feel the Love” giveaway.
The VISION Basic Sony VAIO YB uses AMD Vision technology and features include: 
  • 11.6-inch widescreen (1366×768) LED-backlit display
  • Up to 6 hours of battery life
  • 2GB DDR3 RAM (up to 4 GB) with 320GB of HDD storage
  • Built-in Motion Eye webcam for easy Skyping with your Valentine across town or on the other coast
  • Stereo Bluetooth for streaming CD-quality music to compatible devices
  • HDMI output  and Direct X 11 compatibility for playing the latest 3D video games or watching new HD movies
  • Weighs just over 3 lbs

This notebook is so new that I haven’t even had a chance to get my hands on one yet!  I look forward to putting it through the Tech Savvy Mama test very soon!

With AMD VISION Technology, the various VISION categories assist consumers in navigating the confusing world of PCs to simplify the buying process.  AMD Vision is a combination of cutting edge processing and video power that allows you to experience vivid web and video content, sharp photos, and incredibly clear music.  

The four levels of Vision- Basic, Premium, Ultimate, and Black- correspond with various user needs, allowing consumers to quickly and easily make educated buying decisions based on how they will use the computer.  A Vision Basic computer, like the Sony VAIO YB, is ideal for people that want a great PC for watching DVD movies, checking out photos, playing causal games, browsing dynamic websites (and, of course, checking on emails), and listening to music. For more information, read my post AMD Simplifies PC Buying with Vision Technology to Meet Your Lifestyle.

    Hi,
    I have been a stay at home foster/bio mom for ten years. I know I am blessed to been able to stay home with them and I have really enjoyed it. (I think staying home with them has been a great investment in their futures). But now my kids are older, and due to the economy the way it is, it’s time for me to get a job. Since I live in a small town, employment is hard to gain around here, but with a laptop, I could possibly look for ways to make money online. If that isn’t possible, I could look for jobs in our surrounding towns using the laptop. Thank you very much for considering me.
