My laptop has been sitting on top of my old printer for a while. How many times have I used it? I turned it on once, and the screen didn't even work. It was given to me by a neighbor who had purchased a brand new one for himself. I figured it may have cost more to get it fixed than it was worth so it remains broken. Still, I do want something I can actually use (and see on the screen) to take around with me, especially when it comes to sitting down and typing up articles while I'm away from home.





Today I found out that Charter, fresh from their HDTV-A-Day Sweepstakes, is giving away a laptop every day with their Laptop-a-Day Sweepstakes! From July 15 through September 15 you could have a chance to win an HP 550 Notebook 15-inch with Windows Vista and a NeoTec Compu Backpack.

If you're a student or a business person on the go, why not give it a shot? Even if you don't win the laptop, you may get a free gift card with a value from between $25 to $100! It can be spent at major retailers for clothing, home and accessories, restaurants, and more. Perfect for back to school shopping. Either way, it's worth a shot.

For more information about the rules, current winners, details on the computer, and more; you can visit charter.com/laptop. You may also check out Charter on Facebook or even on Charter on Twitter. Charter is the same group that gave away laptops and Xbox 360s last year. One customer even took home a 2009 Honda Civic Hybrid.
