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.

Reasons for a new Intel-Powered Ultrabook
As a Flight Attendant, by the time my out-dated netbook powers up and gets online, it’s time for “another city!” As someone who sees many users of netbooks, tablets and full sized laptops…the Intel-powered Ultrabook is the future. Quick, powerful and efficient, what’s NOT to like?!
My aching back
Although my laptop is portable, it is not convenient. Teachers expect me to carry all my text books and my old, outdated, heavy laptop. Something sleek and light would be so much nicer.
To Spoil My Future Niece/Nephew!!!
I JUST found out that I’m going to be an Aunt for the first time!!!! I need the Lenovo Ultrabook for online shopping so that I can spoil my future niece/nephew rotten! Because my brother is in the Army and always on the go, it will also allow me to Skype with them so I can see the little peanut more often!!!
smaller is better!
I have a boat anchor and need something lighter and smaller for a vacation trip!
Who wouldn't want a Lenovo Ultrabook???
What a great giveaway! Thanks, Techlicious, for sponsoring this. I, like so many others, have an old machine that needs to be replaced. Please consider me!
It would be wonderful to win!!
I hardly ever win anything but winning this would be great!! There are four of us in the family and only one computer. It would be wonderful to have a second one and a laptop would be perfect!! Our straight A, Honor Roll student could put it to good use!!!
Would love 5 hours of battery life
I work from home and I’m tethered to the wall with a laptop that needs to be plugged in after about an hour of “unplugged time”. Imagine the places I could go with this Ultrabook!
Deathly Old
I NEEEED a new Lenovo because my desktop computer is 8-years old and my “laptop” is an underpowered 1st-Gen Samsung Q-1 that can barely weaze its way through the simplest webpages.
Why I want to win
I am entering because this was my first read today
Your Daily Horoscope
Electronic devices, cell phones, and computers will seem to have a life of their own today. They may do a lot of things, behave strangely, or break down unexpectedly. You may need to spend some money to bring your technology up to date.
Win a Lenovo
I work with students in postsecondary education who have disabilities. At our university, I am the person students meet with to discuss their technology needs, wishes, and wants. Thus, I do lots of demonstrations related to hardware and software. I’ve been using a Lenovo laptop for a number of years in this capacity. But it’s running ‘behind the times’ at it would be nice to upgrade to a newer model!
A faster computer would mean
A faster computer would mean that my kids could play their preschool math games without getting the “low memory” error. It is hard being a single dad but a new computer is what happiness is made of. It would be great. God Bless.
THANKS for the AWESOME GIVEAWAY!!!

Perfect way to relieve my back problems!
I have a back problem which could lead to a herniated disk and was told by my doctor not to carry heavy things. So this would be perfect for my daily use at the university where I go up and down the stairs. Also, it would be excellent for the month I travel to Portland with exchange students as I would have access to trip planning and activities in the computer for 8 hours without having to worry about the battery.

Our family laptop is outdated, so we could sure use a new one. Love the long battery life too. You are right we would definitely take on our family road trips.
Turn of the Century
My current computer is literally a turn of the century computer. It was manufactured in 1999. A replacement is sorely needed.
Need laptop to help local VA Hosp
I’m working with a local VA hospital to help returning veterans with resumes, interviewing skills, and tutoring. My current computer at home is out of date and shared with my husband. It would be great to have an up to date computer to devote to this work.
Mr
This would be perfect for when I start my new job which will cause me to spend a few nights away from home every month. With this I could keep in touch with home, keep up with e-mails and of course techlicious. I could also use it to look up routes and destinations I may be unfamiliar with while on the job. After 2 1/2+ years out of work, I’m looking forward to a great start in this new year.

I need a new laptop
We’re taking a trip this summer, and I need a new laptop so that I can monitor my husband’s small business. I’m getting old, and need a lightweight laptop.
I need a new Intel-powered
I need a new Intel-powered Ultrabook because my old Lenovo laptop is making funny noises, crawls at a snails pace, and I can’t afford to replace it right now!
Need to upgrade
I need to replace my old Lenovo Ideapad (which I really love) with a a newer, more sophisticated Lenovo laptop.
Homebound
I am disabled due to 3 health problems.I only leave the house for DR. appts.My only source of entertainment is my computer on which I play games. My desk top is very old and I can not sit in a chair very long. A laptop would allow me to use it in bed or on the couch.
new
My old laptop is starting to overheat, and this new ultrabook sounds like just the ticket! Cool and light, and more powerful than my old one. Thanks for offering this great prize.
Would Love To Win
It is so time to stop sharing a laptop with four other people. It would be nice to be able to work on a computer without having a time limit.
backup
My desktop is 7 years old and I use it for business. I do have a small laptop for backup email and browsing, but it does not have the documents, etc on it and I need to replace the desktop with all info intact for regular use.
my current laptop is falling
my current laptop is falling apart! the keys get stuck, and there are lines going down the screen.
I am in serious need of a portable computer to use for my online business. Something that can handle all the things I need to do myself like the graphic design programs, video editing, and memory for all my files. Lenovo has been on my list for years and during this time of extreme poverty in my life its now just a dream to own such a great piece of electronics.
Working with photos on the go
I could really use a portable computer to work with photos on so I’d be able to do some editing while away.
Missing letters
My laptop is so old that it actually is missing letters as they’ve popped off and can’t be replaced. Help out this disabled Senior, please!
For My Daughter
We lost our satellite (HughesNet) and computer during the 4-27-11 tornado. My daughter, 18, just started Shelton State and could really use a computer for school. Some of her books costs $200 each, and it would be so much easier and so much more economical if she could download her text books on a computer.
I am a freshman in
I am a freshman in college. Being an electrical/mechanical engineering student I’m required to use computer resource intensive programs such as Auto CAD and Auto CAD Inventor. The Lenovo Ultrabook has the resources to support such programs. Being a college student I try to be very frugal with my money and spend it wisely. I make due with what I’m given. I would appreciate the Lenovo Ultrabook not only because of its ability to do resource intensive task, but also because I can’t spend the money required for it because of the high priority tasks and commitments that come with being a college student.
Old Fogey Husband
I want to get my husband into the 20th century (at least). A new laptop that’s not a “luggable” will help to get him there and this would nake a great birthday gift!
Lenovo for our start-up
I love Lenovo—had a T40 in my days in field sales and it was bulletproof! Miss that reliability. I’m starting an internet retail business with a friend of mine and will need to keep tabs on our business and marketing. I could only dream of using an Ultrabook to do this! Thanks for the opportunity Lenovo & Techlicious!
