For this week's installment of the weekly Crave giveaway, we've got a hot one: the HP Mini 110 Netbook. That's right, you're looking at your very own Netbook. Not that it's all that expensive to go out and buy one, but hey, it's a mini laptop and it never hurts to have one of those lying around.

While this may not be quite as nice as HP's higher-end Mini 5101, the Mini 110 does have a lot in common with that model, including a relatively roomy keyboard. (Read editor Dan Ackerman's full review of the Mini 110 here).

Normally, this HP Netbook costs $300, but you have the chance to get one gratis.

So, how do you try to win a free HP Mini 110 Netbook? Let me enumerate the basic rules. Please read them carefully; there will be a test.

  • Register as a CNET user. Go to the top of this page and hit the "Join CNET" link to start the registration process. If you're already registered, no need to register again.
  • Leave a comment below. You can leave whatever comment you want. If it's funny or insightful it won't help you win, but we're trying to have fun here, so anything entertaining is appreciated.
  • Leave only one comment. You may enter this specific giveaway only once. If you enter more than one comment, you will be automatically disqualified.
  • The winner will be chosen randomly. The winner will receive one (1) HP Mini 110 Netbook. Approximate retail value is $300.
  • If you are chosen, you will be notified via e-mail. Winners must respond within three days of the end of the contest. If you do not respond within that period, another winner will be chosen.
  • Entries can be submitted until Monday, August 10, at noon EDT.
And here's the disclaimer that our legal department said we had to include (sorry for the caps, but rules are rules):

NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. MUST BE LEGAL RESIDENT OF ONE OF THE 50 UNITED STATES OR D.C., 18 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER AT DATE OF ENTRY INTO SWEEPSTAKES. VOID IN PUERTO RICO, ALL U.S. TERRITORIES AND POSSESSIONS AND WHERE PROHIBITED BY LAW. Sweepstakes ends at 12 PM EDT on August 10, 2009. See official rules for details.

Good luck.

The following products mentioned are available.

I'm still unsure of the netbook's place in the overall "computing hierarchy" and how useful such a device will ultimately prove to be (given the continuing trend toward smaller, slimmer, lighter full-powered notebooks), but I'm all about free stuff, so sign me up!
