We all have that list of home-improvement projects that only seems to get longer with time. Need a wall painted, a leaky gutter fixed, or an extra bedroom for a growing family, but don’t where to start? Head to HomeAdvisor.

Like Craigslist without the scammers, HomeAdvisor is an online marketplace for homeowners to find prescreened home professionals, from plumbers to house cleaners. The site’s Instant Booking technology let’s you schedule more than 500 home tasks on-demand — no playing phone tag. And with True Cost Guide, you’ll get a better idea what it should cost, based on what other homeowners are paying locally and nationwide. All of HomeAdvisor’s resources are free for homeowners, with no membership or fees required, either online or on the free HomeAdvisor Android or iOS app.

To get you started with your next project, HomeAdvisor is giving two lucky DT readers a $500 Visa gift card for any project you can dream up. If you need some help coming up with some ideas, check out this list of home projects that can be done for under $500.

DT Giveaway: Enter now to win an HP Spectre x360 13t touchscreen ultrabook

hp spectre x360 13 laptop gets discount in weekly deal 1500x1000

Laptop computers, once a novelty, have today come to completely dominate the PC landscape. From beefy gaming laptops to sleek ultrabooks, these portable computers now also run the gamut when it comes to styles and price points, and while many new brands have popped up over the past couple decades, few can compare to HP’s decades-old pedigree. This iconic PC maker has managed to keep well ahead of the times, however, and we’ve teamed up to give our lucky readers a chance to score one of its most cutting-edge designs – the HP Spectre x360 13t
2-in-1 – for free. Read on to find out more about this great laptop and how you can win.

Touchscreen convertible laptops – more succinctly dubbed “2-in-1s” – comprise one of the most rapidly growing niches in the consumer PC market. It’s easy to see why: With fold-down touchscreen displays, these computers combine the utility of traditional laptops with the convenience of mobile tablets, making them considerably more versatile than either of those alternatives.

DT Giveaway: Enter now to win an HP Envy 32 4K all-in-one desktop PC

HP Envy 32 all-in-one PC giveaway

HP offers a huge range of great computers, but in today’s laptop age, its desktop PCs, unfortunately, don’t get as much attention. And even among desktops, the sleek all-in-one doesn’t always get the love it deserves, but the HP Envy 32-a0035 is a shining example of what these machines are capable of now. If your desk could use a new computer, then step up and roll the dice: We’ve teamed up with HP to give one of our readers a chance to bring home one of these HP Envy 32 4K all-in-one PCs. Read on to find out more about this awesome setup and how you can win it.

The basic idea behind the all-in-one PC is simple: Ditch the bulky desktop computer tower and integrate the hardware into the display housing. This sounds simple, but obviously presents some design challenges, and it’s safe to say that modern hardware advancements (ironically driven by the ubiquity and popularity of laptops) is what made modern all-in-one computers like the HP Envy 32 possible in the first place. Combine that design with the included mouse and keyboard, and you’re pretty much ready to rock right out of the box.
