#AMDHoliday Gift Guide, Twitter Party & Giveaways (11/22)

November 21, 2011 By Leticia

Black Friday and Cyber Monday are right around the corner and AMD has your holiday shopping covered with a selection of gadget goodies sure to delight everyone on your list.

From the multi-tasking mom who can benefit from AMD AllDay Battery Power to the gaming guru who will enjoy the superior graphics provided by VISION Technology from AMD, there is a new tech gift that will bring a season full of experiences, at every price point.

Best of all – AMD has made it easy for you to shop this holiday season! Their favorite holiday ideas are compiled on Pinterest, a site that acts as an “online corkboard” for those on the lookout for inspiration (and holiday present ideas!).  The AMD Holiday Look Book allows you to view our favorite items and directly purchase from the retailer. Check out the AMD Holiday Look Book on Pinterest.
 
Check out five laptops that would be awesome holiday gifts this season for everyone in your life.  Here are our gift picks:

HP DM1 with Beats for the frequent flier

Jetsetter: This road warrior deserves brilliant HD visual experience wherever life takes them. With the HP  Pavilion dm1z laptop powered exclusively by VISION Technology from AMD, anywhere connectivity plus an eco-friendly platform round out this perfect little package, it is ideal for the highly mobile digital lifestyle with AMD AllDay ™ power for more than ten hours of battery life.  Don’t forget, you’ll be able to listen exactly how the artist intended with Beats audio. Starts at $289.

Toshiba Satellite
Entertainment Enthusiast: For those of us who use our PC to watch TV shows and movies, looking at a computer screen can – and should – be as clear as watching the best HD TV. Powered by VISION Technology from AMD, the Toshiba Satellite L775D allows you to watch movies in HD exactly as the producer intended – vivid and clear. This laptop is thin and lightweight making it the perfect addition to family movie night. Starts at $538.99
HP DV6 great for multitaskers
Multitasking Mom: Who says she can’t have it all? The 15.6” HP Pavilion dv6 laptop weight just 6 pounds and measures just 1.4” thin, yet makes no compromises when it comes to mobile performance.  Its extra-long battery life (thanks to AMD AllDay™ Power) keeps mom going from morning carpool to evening recitals. Starts at $649.99

HP TouchSmart perfect for any modern family
Modern Family:  Needs something as versatile as they are. Serving triple duty as a computer, TV and sound system, the HP TouchSmart 320 with VISION Technology from AMD is an all-in-one, touchscreen computer that will entertain the entire family. Starts at $599.

Xbox 360 with Kinect great for gamers
Gaming Guru: Look for a gaming console that does more, like the Xbox 360 Console with Kinect. Wi-Fi is built-in for easier connection to the world of entertainment on Xbox LIVE and watch HD movies and TV stream in an instant with superior graphics by AMD. Starts at $299.
 

 

#AMD Holiday Twitter Party this Tuesday!
 
What other questions do you have about holiday shopping? Join Bob Grim and Kristie Taylor from Advanced Micro Devices, myself and the other AMD Tech Moms for a Twitter Happy Hour next week! We will be discussing ways to save money during holiday shopping and sharing tips to help you choose the right computer for your family’s needs and lifestyle.  Join us for a chance to win an HP Pavilion dm1z laptop, as well as other prizes!
 
What: AMD Holiday Twitter Happy Hour party with AMD & AMD Tech Moms to discuss holiday shopping
When: Tuesday, November 22 at 6 pm PST / 9 pm EST.
Who: @AMDNotebook @TechSavvyMama @HomeEverAfter @LittleTechGirl @ScrappinMichele
Hashtag: #AMDHoliday
Party Favors: We’ll be giving away four $25 AMEX gift cards, two Corel Holiday Software Bundles (valued at approximately $499.94 each), fifteen copies of vReveal software (valued at approximately $49) and a HP dm1z laptop as the grand prize!
In order to win, you must:
  • Follow @AMDNotebook @TechSavvyMama @HomeEverAfter @LittleTechGirl @ScrappinMichele
  • Join the #AMDHoliday Twitter Happy Hour conversation
  • Pay attention to @AMDNotebook tweets on November 22 to find out how to win the grand prize!

 

AMD is also giving away tons of holiday gifts on the Holiday Countdown Calendar on Facebook. From November 21 until January 2, AMD will be giving away one prize everyday – all you have to do is “Like” the Deals Tab and share a prize for a chance to win! Prizes include MARC BY MARC JACOBS and Samsonite laptop bags, Beats by Dr. Dre and Skullcandy headphones, a XBOX 360 console, laptops and more.  That certainly makes holiday shopping a little easier and much more fun!


Twitter party fine print: Gift card and Corel Holiday Software Bundle winners are chosen at random – each AMD Tech Mom will choose one $25 AMEX gift card winner based on the #AMDHoliday conversation. AMD will randomly select two winners to receive the Corel Holiday Bundle Software and fifteen winners to receive vReveal software.  Official contest rules.
 

As an AMD Tech Mom trip, I receive products for review purposes and stipends towards conference sponsorships but all opinions are always my own.

Today we’re celebrating National Rescue Dog Day Today we’re celebrating National Rescue Dog Day because we’re so glad Goldie and Murphy are part of our family! 🐶 We gave Goldie her forever home when she was 6 months old. She had been given up by her original family because she was just too much for them. She was an enthusiastic pup who loved to jump straight up in the air when she got excited and she used to hop the fence in the mornings to go visit her best dog friend, Katy, over our back fence. She still jumps from standing when she sees a deer, meets a favorite dog friend, or gets a visit from @lisatasch but now at age 5, she’s more calm and forever faithful. 🦮We met Murphy and his 9 brothers and sisters just days after he was born although we didn’t know he would be the puppy we’d claim as ours. Murphy has that puppy energy but in his quiet moments is a total love bug. He hogs the free space in our king bed (he even has his own pillow!) and loves nothing more than to press his body into me or lie directly on me. 🐾 Goldie and Murphy came to us through @labrescuelrcp and we couldn’t be happier that they’re part of our family! ❤️ #rescuedogday #labrescue #labrador #adoptdontshop
After 3 days at St. Jude Children’s Research Hos After 3 days at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, I’m leaving Memphis so very grateful to be able to support St. Jude’s mission of working to end childhood cancer. ❤️ Spending time connecting, brainstorming, and absorbing the wisdom of fellow Hero Ambassadors from around the country was inspiring because the work we do fundraising through our endurance events helps St. Jude do the incredible work they do to ensure families never receive a bill for their child’s treatment, housing, travel, or food and continue important research that will continue to reduce rates of pediatric cancer and other childhood diseases. I am so looking forward to running in Memphis again this December! 🎉 If you’ve ever thought of running a race that does so much good in the world, join me! I’d love to have you come to Memphis and run with me! Or you can always donate through the fundraising link in my bio. ❤️ #stjude #stjudeheroes #memphis #stjudedmv

When we bought our house 24 years ago, it came wit When we bought our house 24 years ago, it came with many things we didn’t love like rotted porch boards, 1 bathroom, and peeling paint (inside and out!) but it also came with things we did love like old, mature trees, crazy shaped boxwood bushes, and these spectacular peonies! 🌸 Every year when they bloom I’m so glad that these beauties conveyed with the purchase of our house and I’m glad we rebuilt our porch so we can step out our front door to admire them in their glory! 🩷#peonies #peonyseason #garden #blooms #spring
As a teacher and parent, I am well aware of the me As a teacher and parent, I am well aware of the mental health challenges our youth face and am really pleased to share that over the weekend I became certified in Youth Mental Health First Aid through the National Council for Mental Wellbeing! 🎉 I’ve always worked to build relationships with the young people in my life- whether my kids’ friends or students- and this certification has made me more mindful of the signs and symptoms of mental health challenges so I can have important and supportive conversations when symptoms first start to appear. 🗣️A big component of the training also included developing a self-care plan which is critical when supporting others. 💕 I’m so grateful to have taken this certification for free through the University of Maryland whose blended learning format (2 hours of self paced online work + 5 hour instructor led class over Zoom) was fantastic! 💻 The teacher in me really applauds the course design and I’m glad to join the 3 million+ in the U.S. certified in Youth Mental Health First Aid. 🏥 If this is something you’re interested in doing, University of Maryland has free courses on Saturdays or Sundays from 10-4pm between June-October. Swipe ⬅️ for more information, including a QR code with more information and a survey to take as part of the sign up process. And if you have any questions- leave a comment or DM me. I’m happy to help you get certified too! ❤️ #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthfirstaid #youthmentalhealth #mentalhealthawarenessmonth
