Winner of our HP Envy 13 notebook
When we announced our HP Envy 13 giveaway, we knew you guys would show up with some videos showing what it was that you wanted the Envy 13 to do for you (or in some cases, someone else, holiday season and all.) In all, 57 of you guys hit us with video responses on YouTube to enter. We figured it would mostly consist of people talking into a webcam (we were right,) which was fine with us. The winner was chosen by random, so there wasn’t really any reason to go all out anyway.
Imagine our surprise when we went in today and chose a random winner (hat tip to Random.org,) and it turned out to be a music video! We then started peeking around at some of the other entries, and there was definitely some creativity going on. The video at the top is done by YouTube user TheSumbiProject, and he is our random winner. We will reach out to him as soon as we hit publish on this post. That said, we wanted to share some of the other interesting entries we received, so you’ll find those after the break.

I totally disagree with the chosen winner. You guys stressed and made it clear we had to tell you what we wanted the HP envy to do for us and this entry did not do so…..
So much effort and we loose to someone who didn’t even follow the rules stated.

everyone will complain that It wasn’t them that won , but the truth is we all had a 1 : 57 chance of winning.
it was an even playing field and to complain is to show your immaturity
congrats to the winner though !

Yes, but they should not have chosen the winner that way!
The winner did put in effort, but someone could have spammed with videos and increased their chances.
Or people who had put days of effort could have been beaten by a #### video.
Gearlive didn’t even look at most of the videos. If you are going to have a video competition choose the winner by the VIDEO!
