Best Buy Wish List is a sponsored series in which we feature the
things we’re coveting at Best Buy–and then give away gift cards so you can buy them yourself.  Whee!

Computers are pretty important gadgets to us bloggers. Imagine that. It’s a sickness really–our computers get to be a few years (or months) old and suddenly we’re saying ooh…lookie what else is out there.

Best Buy really does have an amazing selection. We sheepishly admit, we didn’t even realize until recently that they carried Apple products. It’s pretty sweet to have so many options from so many brands in one place so we can compare them, along with those clever Blue Shirt folks who can help us make the decision easier.

So, say the magic tech fairy were to wave her wand and grand our every computer wish. Here’s a few things that would top the list:

Holy moly, the iMac is back. Want! Want! We’d go for this big ol’ 27″ monitor, all things being equal, but hey, we’d settle for the 21″ one too. We’re not greedy.

The Dell Studio Laptop is as pretty as it is thin (only one inch – wow), and the HD screen is easy on the eyes. Since both of Kristen’s laptops are dying as we speak, she needs this badly!

Of course we can’t wish for a new laptop without wishing for a new laptop bag–or maybe that’s just our inner bag addicts talking. This Trixy Laptop Case from Acme Made is cute and comes in several stylish colors, and it doesn’t look laptop-y at all. (Is that a word?)

The way we see it, one of the smart things about nabbing a computer at Best Buy is that you automatically get six months of Geek Squad’s Ask An Agent service totally free. That means no bugging your techie friends or hitting up your friendly neighborhood IT guy for advice at the school potluck.

Plus, if you purchase a Geek Squad Black Tie Protection plan (always, always get a protection plan with any computer) by January 1, you’ll get an extra month free. Because really, a cool computer is only as smart as the owner who knows how to use it. –Kristen + Liz

Order anything on Best Buy today, 12/27, and receive free shipping in support of the After Christmas Sales event!

Also, follow Best Buy on Twitter and like the Best Buy Facebook fan page
for plenty more great deals, events and updates. Like getting free phone and
online advice from the Geek Squad through New Year’s.

EXTRA EXTRA COOL: WIN IT! Turn your wish list into a reality, mamas, because we’re giving away the final two $500 gift cards to Best Buy!
WHOO!

Congratulations to our two lucky winners who both will receive $500 gift cards to Best Buy: Danai R. and Karen M.

  1. MacBook all the way!!!!! We love our Mac mini, but we fight over it too much so we NEED another Mac!!!!

  2. would love to win one of these!

  3. Uh. Oh. — Our Mac is just about to retire and we really, really would like to get a new IMac with a 27″ monitor, of course! Good luck to us. 😀

  4. A tablet PC would be awesome, and it would keep the kid occupied on long car trips. https://bit.ly/fTg8kp

  5. Oh, pick me! I need a new double oven 30″ range. Computer stuff, I’ve got. I really need a new stove. 🙂

  6. I’d get a new Mac for sure! Ours is dying and it’s definitely time!

  7. Definitely put this down towards a Macbook.

  8. We’ll go with the classic MacBook

    https://www.bestbuy.com/site/Apple%26%23174%3B+-+MacBook%26%23174%3B+/+Intel%26%23174%3B+Core%26%23153%3B2+Duo+Processor+/+13.3%22+Display+/+2GB+Memory+/+250GB+Hard+Drive+-+White/9944833.p?id=1218199185981&skuId=9944833

    Poor hubby has had to deal with windows based laptops forever – and for a previous Mac fan, it’s tough 😉

    Thanks Cool Moms!

  9. Ooh – so many choices!! If I really could choose anything, it would be this HP TouchSmart All-In-One computer. I’m sure my husband would have some input, so who knows what we’d actually end up with. 🙂

    https://www.bestbuy.com/site/HP+-+TouchSmart+All-In-One+Computer+/+AMD+Athlon%26%23153%3B+II+Processor+/+20%22+Display+/+4GB+Memory+/+1TB+Hard+Drive/9912753.p?id=1218194156457&skuId=9912753

  10. I would love an iMac!

  11. I would for sure grab the big Mac daddy desk top to replace our current dying one!

  12. I want an iPad sook badly!

  13. I’d spend the money on a netbook for my daughter—not exactly a dream computer, but it would be to her.

  14. I changed my mind, I want an iPad! https://bit.ly/gjl9I5

  15. I would LOVE to get the IPAD! My two kids, 3 and 4, have taken control over our two computers and its very hard to get any computer time. Nothing like kicking your kids off the computer to get any time;-)

  16. a new flat-screen TV!

  17. we just got a laptop so I would get a replacement for our desktop that is not doing well… maybe this one: HP Pavilion p6674y Desktop & 23″ LCD Monitor Package https://www.bestbuy.com/site/HP+Pavilion+p6674y+Desktop+%26+23%22+LCD+Monitor+Package/9999139200050026.p?id=pcmprd139200050026&skuId=9999139200050026

  18. I will take one iMac, thankyouverymuch.

  19. Kelley Seymour

    After spending a large(unexpected) amt of money to fix our car, and spending the rest to make sure my 4 boys had a great Christmas, it would be great for me to get to spend a little on myself!!! That is something I never do! I would love to have an ipad but would NEVER spend that money on myself unless I won it! A girl can dream, right?

  20. A Dell lap top. URL listed above.

  21. beth davidson

    If I won, this is what I’d get for our daughter as her first machine (we’ve got extra monitors)

    https://www.bestbuy.com/site/Apple%26%23174%3B+-+Mac+mini+/+Intel%26%23174%3B+Core%26%23153%3B2+Duo+Processor+/+2GB+Memory+/+320GB+Hard+Drive/9952305.p?id=1218200370733&skuId=9952305

    Her first Mac!!! She loves playing with our ipods and on our big iMac but she is only 4, so this will be a great starter that we can repurpose for a media center later.

  22. I would LOVE a MacBook Air. It’s perfect for taking with me and searching my favorite sites! https://bit.ly/hmZLik

  23. I would love an HP All in One Touchsmart computer for me and my kids. I think it would be a great family computer.

  24. https://m.bestbuy.com/m/e/product/detail.jsp?skuId=1209734&pid=1218234418317&catId=&ev=prodView

    We own a graphic design business, and something like the above computer would make my life so easy!

  25. I’d LOVE a new iPad of course! Sharing ours is harder than I thought it would be now that my lil 4 year old is obsessed…
    https://www.bestbuy.com/site/Apple%26%23174%3B+-+iPad%26%23153%3B+with+Wi-Fi+-+16GB/9811355.p?id=1218178658389&skuId=9811355

  26. For SURE the iPad – my son has been dying for this and we just couldn’t afford it…
    https://www.bestbuy.com/site/Apple%26%23174%3B+-+iPad%26%23153%3B+with+Wi-Fi+-+16GB/9811355.p?id=1218178658389&skuId=9811355

  27. With a darling new addition to our family, I need to take some quality pictures~ I’d love to get my hands on a new Nikon SLR

    https://www.bestbuy.com/site/Nikon+D3000+10.2-MP+Digital+SLR+Camera+with+Extra+Lens/9999138600050000.p?id=pcmprd138600050000&skuId=9999138600050000

  28. Meredith Hertzler

    I’d get one of those touch screen desktops for a family computer. I don’t want to share my Powerbook with the kids.

  29. I’d get this https://tinyurl.com/24z2cls simply because it’s pink.

  30. Thats a tough one. I REALLY want to switch to a mac but I also REALLY like the Blue Label laptops. That stream wireless to your TV. Back lit keyboards aw yes. My Dell is on it’s last leg. I’ll be buying a computer for sure this year.

  31. I think I would shed a tear of joy each time I looked at that new 27″ inch iMac monitor on my desk!

  32. HP – Laptop / Intel® Core™ i3 Processor / 15.6″ Display / 3GB Memory / 320GB Hard Drive – Biscotti
    Model: g62-373dx | SKU: 1623867

    https://www.bestbuy.com/site/HP+-+Laptop+/+Intel%26%23174%3B+Core%26%23153%3B+i3+Processor+/+15.6%22+Display+/+3GB+Memory+/+320GB+Hard+Drive+-+Biscotti/1623867.p?id=1218273846897&skuId=1623867

    drool drool drool – perfect for my cancer isolation times

    tvollowitz at aol dot com

  33. Mary F. Graetzer

    no question, but that I’d use it on a MacBook Pro……my desktop Mac, a G5, which seemed so advanced when I bought it is hopelessly out of date……….I drool over these all the time.

  34. I would get an iPad!

  35. I would buy a new laptop for my husband’s b-day! (then I could keep the one I alreday bought him for myself!!) 🙂

  36. We’d love the 27″ iMac in our house!!!

  37. I need a new netbook, though not sure which one…

  38. New iMac! That’s an awesome computer but I can’t afford it, LoL

    f00girl[at]hotmail[dot]com

  39. I have a MacBook, but my hubby is a diehard PC user, so I’d get a Sony laptop to replace our old one.

  40. Oh this is an easy one! I’ve been drooling over this MacBook pro. Literally My husband has to drag me out of best buy that’s how many times I’ve looked at it. I’m surprised the people who work there haven’t given me a towel to wipe up the drool 🙂 But if I won I’d put it towards the 17″, 4GB, 500GH Hard drive model…

    How your turn to drool…

  41. MacBookPro would be my dream computer right now!I have a Giant Mac but I need one for on the go blogging:)Love my Mac products!!

  42. Oh hands down, I’d get the iPad. I have a MACbook Pro and a PC laptop, but I need an iPad to share my portfolio to clients. So that’s what my dream computer equipment is.

  43. I would love to get the HP – Mini Netbook with Intel® Atom™ Processor, Mouse and Case – Sonoma Red! It’s so cute and looks like a great little netbook to take with me for work! Thanks!

  44. My wonderful wife really needs a new “for fun” computer, and I think the iPad is just the thing. And as long as I’m fantasizing about what to get her, Wi-Fi + 3G + 64GB is the dream: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/Apple%26%23174%3B+-+iPad%26%23153%3B+with+Wi-Fi+%2B+3G+-+64GB/9811319.p?id=1218178657229&skuId=9811319

  45. Oh, I would spend it on this macbook air https://www.bestbuy.com/site/Apple%26%23174;+-+MacBook%26%23174;+Air+/+Intel%26%23174;+Core%26%23153;2+Duo+Processor+/+13.3%22+Display+/+2GB+Memory+/+256GB+Flash+Storage+-+Aluminum/9944951.p?id=1218201437304&skuId=9944951

    It would be for my husband – we both work from home and we share one laptop. It makes for long days and nights trying to get everything done!

  46. Oh baby, oh baby! I’d get the Ipad 3G + WiFi… I am salivating just thinking of it. ;o) Link: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/Apple%26%23174%3B+-+iPad%26%23153%3B+with+Wi-Fi+%2B+3G+-+64GB/9811319.p?id=1218178657229&skuId=9811319

    I know coveting is a sin but i’m totally coveting this one! i’m addicted to touch screen & my viao’s have never let me down! i’d love to put the GC toward this one!! PICK ME!!

  48. So, about 2 years ago, we became a Mac family and we haven’t looked back – well, for the most part. My one complaint is not with Apple itself, but with our other devices that refuse to come up with drivers for MAC/OS – I don’t get it, but it happens! For this reason, I’ve been considering buying a PC just so we have the option. Yes, this is probably a bit much, but hey – if I had a free $500 to spend on this https://www.bestbuy.com/site/Toshiba+-+Satellite+Laptop+/+AMD+Phenom%26%23153%3B+II+Processor+/+17.3%22+Display+/+4GB+Memory+/+500GB+Hard+Drive+-+Helios+Gray/1261624.p?id=1218244144048&skuId=1261624 why not? Plus, it would save my husband and I from fighting over the computer – he could take the PC of course!

  49. whateverlolawants

    I really WANT, NEED, and DESERVE the 27″ iMac. Really. It would be the most amazingly awesome computer to win, and I wouldn’t even mind footing the extra $1200 as it would be so amazing to have it in our house. Dream BIG!!! Woo Hoo!

    https://www.bestbuy.com/site/Apple&%23174%3B+-+iMac&%23174%3B+/+Intel&%23174%3B+Core&%23153%3B+i3+Processor+/+27%22+Display+/+4GB+Memory+/+1TB+Hard+Drive/9955811.p?id=1218201215247&skuId=9955811

  50. I am seriously considering switching from a PC to a Mac. That thrills my husband, our mixed Apple-PC relationship hasx been tough. 🙂

    I would go for this:

  51. OH MY GOSH!! Thank you so much for the chance – I am not sure how I can pick just ONE computer – but here is what I have decided on for now!

    (Keep in mind, this will probably change if I win! LOL!)

  52. A computer for the kids to do homework on so I can use mine when I need it.

  53. OMG – I REALLLLLLLY need a new computer… My husband was writing a BOOK on our laptop and the hard drive crashed and he lost everything. He’s settled on a desktop – so I definitely NEED the iMac

    https://www.bestbuy.com/site/Apple&%23174%3B+-+iMac&%23174%3B+/+Intel&%23174%3B+Core&%23153%3B+i3+Processor+/+27%22+Display+/+4GB+Memory+/+1TB+Hard+Drive/9955811.p?id=1218201215247&skuId=9955811

  62. I’m big into movies and this laptop is run by the powerful i7, bluray/3D ready, and HDMI out!! All with a 1T HD to store my digital media on!

  63. Easy! The Apple IPad for my Autistic son. He’s not verbal yet, but with the cool apps for communication maybe one day I will hear “I love you, Mom”
    Link below:

  64. I would love, love, LOVE to get one of these! Apple MacBook Pro!
    A $500 g/c would put a nice dent in the price!!

  65. Sony Vaio, just looking for something fun and cute at this point. I have a high performance one for everything else.

  66. I’d love to win the Mac Pro. My current PC is dying a slow death.
    https://www.bestbuy.com/site/Mac/MacPro/pcmcat128800050007.c?id=pcmcat128800050007

  67. I’d love to put it towards a new imac or laptop. My current imac is getting towards the end of its lifespan. My hubby needs a new laptop, too, and we’re also looking at buying a flat screen TV (finally) and blu ray player. SO many electronics, so little time (and money)

  68. I still want to get my husband a gift. I know he would be so excited to get a XBOX.

  70. I’m in lala land here..deciding what to pick if I won..a new MacBook Pro would actually make my life as a graphic designer easier. Seriously. My computer is about 6 yrs old (yeah, I know!) and I can’t run more than one graphics programs at once due to RAM limitations (its been upgraded to its max sadly). I’m currently drooling over the 13″ (I didn’t want to get greedy over the larger displays): https://www.bestbuy.com/site/Apple%26%23174%3B+-+MacBook%26%23174%3B+Pro+/+Intel%26%23174%3B+Core%26%23153%3B2+Duo+Processor+/+13.3%22+Display+/+4GB+Memory+/+250GB+Hard+Drive+-+Aluminum/9911593.p?id=1218193867751&skuId=9911593 (pardon any typos from my drool-stuck keys).

  71. Trying to enter again. For some reason it doesn’t appear that my comment went through OK. Maybe it was the shortened links in my first attempt yesterday morning. I’d love an ipad. Doesn’t that count as computer – 🙂 https://www.bestbuy.com/site/Apple%26%23174%3B+-+iPad%26%23153%3B+with+Wi-Fi+%2B+3G+-+64GB/9811319.p?id=1218178657229&skuId=9811319

  73. Our HP Touch Smart PC has been good to us, but I am going back to school next month, and I am thinking that a laptop would be perfect for studying on-the-go.

  75. Though an iPad is tempting, I’d get more use out of a conventional laptop with flash.

    for my classroom! Right now, I have 27 students, and only 2 computers for them to use. One of those computers is being used so that I can also use the projector and document camera for lessons. With a nice, new, shiny Dell Laptop, I could give them back one of their computers, and I could get rid of the gazillion cords that are running across the floor of my classroom because of the desktop computer hooked up to the projector/doc cam! Thanks CoolMomPicks for a great giveaway!!!!

  100. The Mac mini: https://tinyurl.com/2epynry

    My husband is using my ooooold iBook, and another MacBook isn’t in the budget, so the mini is top of our list right now, geek-wise.

  101. What I really want is an i-phone or other smartphone. As far as computers, I have been really wanting to switch over to mac (hubs is reluctant.)
    I need to research a lot, but a macbook sounds good.
    https://www.bestbuy.com/site/Apple%26%23174%3B+-+MacBook%26%23174%3B+/+Intel%26%23174%3B+Core%26%23153%3B2+Duo+Processor+/+13.3%22+Display+/+2GB+Memory+/+250GB+Hard+Drive+-+White/9944833.p?id=1218199185981&skuId=9944833

    I could do some major damage with 6 GB drive (I have tons of media files for starters), and the processor speed would be a huge help for multi-tasking as a new semester at school begins. Thanks!

  103. I’d get this Samsung monitor so I can quit scrunching down to see the screen on my laptop https://www.bestbuy.com/site/Samsung+-+23%22+Widescreen+Flat-Panel+LCD+Monitor+-+Glossy+Black/9777593.p?id=1218171770452&skuId=9777593&st=9771832,%209777593_&cp=1&lp=2

    or I’d get an Ipad. I’ve been drooling over them since I first saw them and there’s no way I’d be able to afford one on my own

    https://www.bestbuy.com/site/Apple%26%23174;+-+iPad%26%23153;+with+Wi-Fi+-+32GB/9811406.p?id=1218178659533&skuId=9811406

    I would need at 4 or 5 of these memory cards for the cameras that we keep filling up too quickly. Then I can’t leave a link to the cool cables and cords as I haven’t a clue which they are. But my husband has been talking about our receiver not linking to the tv and stereo properly and he would live to be able to tackle this project. He also always wants external hard drives, he always looks at them when we go to best buy.

  106. I would like to get the LG – 32″ Class / 1080p / LCD HDTV.

  112. I would get an iPad to help me be more organized as a wife, a mom (times 3) and a full time student.

  113. I think the Kinect is so cool. My daughter was playing at the store the other day. I think we could really get a kick out of playing it as a family. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/Microsoft+-+Xbox+360+250GB+Console+with+Kinect/1219686.p?id=1218237046870&skuId=1219686

  134. It has to be the i-Pad without a doubt! My hubby can’t be the only one having all the fun and that way we still have one free when our four year old is bogging it – ha! I’m dying to use the mom agenda app now too! What a way this would be to start 2011!! https://www.bestbuy.com/site/Apple%26%23174%3B+-+iPad%26%23153%3B+with+Wi-Fi+-+16GB/9811355.p?id=1218178658389&skuId=9811355

  135. Thanks for the giveaway…I would use it towards buying an Apple – MacBook® Pro / Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor / 13.3″ Display / 4GB Memory / 320GB Hard Drive: https://goo.gl/dV5pc

  138. One thing we need is a Blu-ray player. It might be worthwhile going ahead and getting a 3D one, even though we don’t have a 3D TV yet. Here’s a link to a nice one:
