dv2_5f00_back_2d00_open_2d00_rightEvery once and a while VivirLatino gets sent products to try out and review so that we can share the information with our audience in an effort to make you buy something. And every once in a while, if Mala is in the mood, or if it seems like something that could be useful to myself and the VL audience we will. Today, I’m typing from one of HP’s new laptops, the HP Pavilion dv-2 Entertainment Notebook.

Straight from the box, the HP dv2 shiny white exterior could be seen as trying to look like a Mac. The interior black surrounding the Mercury-free 12.1″ diagonal HP BrightView LED display tells you it clearly isn’t, as well as the fact that it runs Windows Vista® Home Premium which as a two year Mac convert, I don’t dislike as much as I thought I would.

hp-pavilion-dv2-portatil1HP has a new laptop out, the HP Pavilion dv2. As part of their promotion of the ultralight and portable new model, HP has teamed up with the NBA to send one person selected at random to see Kevin Garnett and the Celtics play a home game in Boston and an away game in a West Coast city. The package will include VIP tickets, airfare, hotel and great HP gear. You can enter for that contest here. Pero hurry because the contest runs only until the end of the month.

Pero we have something special for VivirLatino readers.

VL has been chosen, along with two dozen other sites, to be eligible for extra prizes. What are the prizes?

10 regulation basketballs, each signed by an active player of the winner’s choosing

2 trips to the 2010 NBA All-Star Game in Dallas: includes travel, accommodations and tickets for two – one winner and one site owner (yup so someone from the VL team gets a prize too!)

and there’s more. VL is getting one $50 gift card for use at The NBA Store, which will go one lucky VL reader who enters.

So how can you get in the game?

Enter the HP/NBA Contest Aqui

Come back here and comment with a valid email that you entered the contest.

Vl will choose who gets the $50 NBA Store gift card and all the entries will go into the random drawing with the entrants from the other two dozen blogs for the other prizes.

Please enter by 11:59:59 p.m. PT on May 31, 2009 to be eligible and sorry, this contest is only for peeps in the U.S. (quizas one day we’ll get an international futbol contest going or something).

Good Luck!

According to an article in the Washington Post, there has been a policy in place for some time that authorizes Homeland security to:

take a traveler’s laptop computer or other electronic device to an off-site location for an unspecified period of time without any suspicion of wrongdoing, as part of border search policies the Department of Homeland Security recently disclosed.

Also, officials may share copies of the laptop’s contents with other agencies and private entities for language translation, data decryption or other reasons, according to the policies, dated July 16…
