As I mentioned in my Blissdom post, I am a 2011 AMD Mom and I promised you would be hearing more. This is one of those “mores.” Being an AMD Mom means that not only do I get to feel the love, but I’m sharing the love with my readers on Valentine’s Day. I am so excited to be able to give one of you this BRAND NEW high-performance AND ultra-portable Sony VAIO YB notebook PC.
AMD VISION Technology
Before I get to the giveaway details, I want to tell you all about the Sony VAIO YB notebook PC and why AMD is providing this notebook to one of my readers.
AMD would like to help one of you organize your life with this laptop. You will be able to go anywhere and do more and do it faster with this notebook PC.
AMD is a resource to help you easily figure out which computer best fits your needs. We all know I’m a geek, but like you, when I go to buy a new computer, I ultimately want to know if the computer will do what I want it to do and do it well. AMD’s VISION Technology will help you figure that out.
How, you might ask? Follow these 4 simple steps for buying your next PC:
- Go to the AMD VISION Technology website.
- Answer the “Help Me Choose A PC” 5 questions.
- AMD will provide you with the VISION category that best fits your needs
- Go to the store and look for the PC with that VISION category tag.

It really is that simple! You can be confident that the PC will do what you want it to do.

I took the quiz and was recommended a black vision AMD.
I would like a Sony VAIO YB notebook so that I can take it with me to go relax since my husband has finally started watching our three children (3, 4, 10) and I am finally able to get away to the coffee house once in a while on my own to blog and chat with friends in peace.
