Lenovo Ultrabook Giveaway from Intel!
Think you have to pay a hefty premium to get a thin and powerful laptop with good battery life? Not if you’re getting an Ultrabook™.
Ultrabooks are a new class of ultraportable laptops that measure less than 21mm thick, get five or more hours of battery life, use a powerful Intel® Core i3™, i5 or i7 processor and wake almost instantly from a sleep state. All for around $1,000.
Ultrabooks are the perfect laptop for people on the go, easily slipping into a bag or briefcase and barely noticeable from a weight perspective - you’ll find yourself bringing your laptop more places than ever before. With their ultra-slim profile, they’re also a dramatic style statement.
The 13" Lenovo® IdeaPad® U300s is a perfect example of everything an Ultrabook has to offer:
- 1.6GHz Intel Core i5 processor
- 128 GB solid state drive (much faster than a hard drive)
- Just 0.59" thick and 2.91 pounds
- 8 hours of battery life.
We're giving away a Lenovo U300s ($1049 MSRP) to one lucky Techlicious subscriber, courtesy of Intel! Enter through February 24th, 2012 for a chance to win.

Trying to run a small business with shrinking revenue
I help my husband with his solo HVAC business. Since the recession our business has lost revenue every year. I am limping along on an old desk top and am responsible for doing all the accounting on Quick Books. This desk top is on it’s way out (there’s not much memory on it)and we really need a new computer to keep us running, but so far it has not been affordable. Especially With gas prices going up it’s so hard to make enough to buy a new computer. We would love a new computer to run our business. Thanks for your consideration.
Laptop heaven
Here I sit with a borrowed iPad I have to give back this weekend. I had a humpy dumpy fall that fractured my pelvis and sacrum so I have been sitting in this bed since Friday the 13th wishing I had a laptop. I had to take off this term of school, but I should be able to start back in the spring. Would love to have a good laptop to take with me.
Thanks!

Decisions, Decisions
I have been romanced by the Macbook Air. While saving for it, tech media has made me aware that there are far more affordable Windows-based options to be had. As a result, I’ve been paralyzed by indecision. To make matters worse, it appears that Apple may be rolling out a new generation of Air in the next couple-few months and it might be operating on a wholly different processor. So with that said, do I look at it eagerly as an improvement or stay away and look at is a first-gen rollout? Argh!

Giveaway to Me
My old portable, a Gateway, is showing signs of age and once in a while, the backlighting on the LCD display just goes out. If you don’t know what that means, just suffice it to say, that’s bad. Winning an Ultrabook would solve my problem!

Get worn out lugging the dinosaur around
My husband is worn out carrying our daughter’s old fossil Toshiba computer through the airports while limping on a knee that needs replacing and he also has a cane and me with crutches and a removable air cast to the knee struggling along side him with a carry-on bag with yet another 17” Toshiba that is 7 years old.

need laptop to help with dad's care
I am currently the primary caretaker for my 92 yr old ailing dad. I am at his house almost 24-7 and could really use a laptop to connect with nursing services as well as to look up health issues which seems to be a constant issue. Sometimes I need an answer right away and this would be really useful so I would not have to wait for a call back from the nurses before taking any action.
My wife could use this. Works for me for no pay.
I don’t know what I would do without my wife. She helps me run my small business and does everything from doing the bookkeeping to running the office. I can’t afford to pay her and she is using an old computer to do everything. She’d love to work on a new computer and not have to worry that she’ll loose all the data she’s put in over the years.

I could definitely use this awesome laptop since my current one is a couple years old and is extremely slow, besides the fact that I have to keep it plugged in all the time since it won’t hold a charge from a battery…so it’s not really great as a “laptop” is it?!

Why I could use a Lenovo
Oh boy, could I! All my computers have been used,
and being on Social Security, I can’t afford a new one. Used means they aren’t much good for everyone else, but alright for me.
Don’t get me wrong! I’m thankful for the used ones, but it would be nice to have a new one just once…:)

Lenovo Ultrabook
I need a new laptop as mine has hated me from Day 1. I took it out of the box and after 2 frustrating weeks, I brought it to a tech who told me the motherboard was broken, I get it home aand the cursor jumps EVERYWHERE all the time, when I am searching, reading. or worse yet, writing. It takes me at least 15 minutes to type out a 2 line e-mail. I have been on this entry for 1/2 hour
