Gear Diary has been chosen to participate in another huge giveaway sponsored by HP & Microsoft, where we along with 24 other sites will make one of our readers a major winner!

You are welcome to enter at every site listed below, but you can only win once. Each site will give away prize packages including an HP dv6, an HP Mini 110 and Syncables software – which allows you to keep the larger laptop at home but carry the smaller netbook (synced and carrying all of your data!) when on the go. Our winner will also get a customized Gear Diary Timbuk2 bag to carry their loot!

Gear Diary’s portion of the giveaway doesn’t begin until September 5th, but beginning August 12th you can visit and enter at the following sites as they roll out their contests:

Bear in mind that each site is running their own contest with their own rules, and they will all be differently done. Some will be simple to enter, and some sites are going to make you really work for the prize! Not all contests will be open to winners all over the world, but ours is…

Keep this in mind:

Some conditions apply and you need to be aware of those: if you win a prize bundle in one of the websites, then you can’t win again in the whole competition. We will try to send you the prize bundle, but depending where you live customs and tax conditions may prevent this. In this case we will provide you with an equivalent credit on a HP online store.

We’ll post details on Gear Diary’s giveaway requirements on September 5th, but until then – you can read more about the goodies and the other participating sites, here.

I’ll also be posting about my experiences using the two laptops and the syncing software, because in addition to supplying each site with prizes for our readers, HP and Microsoft have also given each of us laptop/netbook/software sets on long term loan.
