[US ONLY] ASUS + Microsoft = 100 Free U3s/VX2/S6fm notebooks

This contest mentions the MSRP of the U3s, as seen:

Last day is 8/31/07 to enter. Again, US residents only, date of picking winners is 9/14/07.

Enter here: Click me!

 

Damn I already have Windows Live mail and no hotmail account.

 

Yea, I have a Hotmail account and I live in Canada. Joy for me

I entered it anyways, so if I do win, I have to find someone to refer the notebook to thats in the US

 

wow... Thanks for the information!

 

Just signed up for a VX2. Wonder if I'll win.

 

I signed up, but I never win these things.

 

Thank you coriolis. I registered.

 

If I win, I'm giving a BIG "thank you" to ya

(I won't win tho ;__; )

 

None of us will win. But best of luck to everyone!

I thought the game ends at the end of the month? 8/31/07

 

Thanks. Now if only I can remember my hotmail password.

 

I Enter with my 2 E-Mails one for the VX2 and the other for the S6FM.
I'm from Kuwait but i can always ship the laptop from US to Kuwait.

 

Is there a way I can actually change my hotmail account so it says @live.com instead of @hotmail.com? I like the sound of @live.com better, seems a bit more professional than hotmail.

Thanks for letting us know about this by the way, I sure wouldn't mind the Lamborghini

 

I also already have Windows Live Mail, but it worked for me

and yeah, chances are very slim that I'll actually win a VX2, but it didn't cost me anything and all I had to do was "upgrade" to something I already had, lol

 

Thank you for the link Cori. Don't worry I could always get the laptop to you if you win (for a price).

cheater
it says one email entry per person isn't it?

 

I entered to, I have a few friends who could ship it to me

 

IUts a shame it doesn't look like they are offering the santa rosa version of the vx2....I will still take the vx2 no problem though.

 

Not a cheater i have these 2 e-mails and i really use them all.

Hey check that http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=470576
and if you want @msn.com you can go here https://accountservices.passport.net/reg.srf?ns=msn.com&sl=1&lc=1033

 

It is the Santa Rosa version- check the details. It's got a 2.2 Ghz CPU w/800 Mhz FSB, an 8600M GT vid card, and Intel Turbo Memory, which all add up to Santa Rosa

 

Thanks for the link and best of luck to everyone who signed up! I chose the U3S model.

 

That's the date the winners will be selected. The last date to enter is the 31st.

 

pfft 18 years of older?
o well i try anyways

 

Thanks for the link. I wonder how many people are going to set up fake accounts to try and improve their odds. Things like that are hard to track and Microsoft may not even try. They have to somehow validate you if you win though...

And yea a non "S" model. I will take it anyday.

 

The VX2 in the promotion is the VX2S (Santa Rosa chipset, 8600M GT video card, Intel Turbo Memory)

 

Oops, updated first post. Thanks for the catch djembe

 

I wonder what I'd have to do if I bought a V2S and then ended up winning the VX2. Which would I want to get rid of?

 

I was thinking the same thing bona fide....I would still keep the v2s I think...the lamborghini is more expensive which means you can sell it for more...and its a little too flashy/cheesy for me. Maybe if I actually owned a lamborghini I would get one, but probably not even then...and the funny thing is I love cars a lot more than computers, and I still have no desire to have lamborghini badge on there.

Also I sort of want the 8600gs instead the 8600gt....yes that is extremely stupid...but I don't want to have a good gaming computer. Im addicted to computer games and im trying to kick the habit .

 

for me that's not a problem...haha...i'd just sell it....or maybe keep it and sell my t61p =]

 

Yeah the VX2S is arguably the pinnacle of Asus laptops, but it's not a smart idea for college. It's expensive, overly flashy, and heavy. Plus, I could sell it for $2500 and pay half my semester's tuition.

 

heavy? I'll agree that it's definitely expensive. I don't think it's flashy, especially in comparison with something like the G1S, but that's a matter of opinion. But according to the specs they had on the site, it's something like 5.6 pounds, which is a full pound lighter than my Z71v or the aforementioned G1S, for example. For a 15.4" notebook with those specs, I think it's fairly light. It's only 2/10ths of a pound heavier than a 15" MacBook Pro.

 

I believe it's 5.9lbs, which, though it may be light for 15" notebooks, is too heavy for me to have to carry around everywhere. In fact, the V2S I'm looking at is about 5.2lbs and that's pushing it.

The flashiness is more about the Lamborghini logos and leather than actual bling or lights. In a college environment, it's just asking to be stolen.

 

sorry, little off topic, but wuzer, which model t61p did you get? 15" or 14". I was looking into the 14" but it doesn't look to be widescreen which sort of drew me away from it.

Also I was just looking on the site and they took the 15" t61p down....wierd

Guess im still waiting on eddie for the v2s, or maybe I could win this vx2s

 

i got the 14" one because there was supposedly no time delay with that one. that and i can deal with the 128mb GFX card since i'm not going to be gaming much on that laptop...just sc2 for on the go entertainment. i have a desktop at home to game with =]
They took the 15.4" t61p widescreen model down because too much demand and they simply can't produce that many.

 

I hope I can win something!

 

u3s

mmmm mmm mmmmm

 

5 more days til the contest ends!

 

the odds of winning is slim i mean, how many hotmail users are there in the world

 

I hope at least 2-3 NBR users(or lurkers) win

 

a lot, but you're forgetting that the contest is limited to the US and there isn't a ton of advertisement about it. I did some calculating from numbers I got on site traffic and my own estimations, and I think the odds are probably somewhere around 1 in 8000, which of course aren't good, but they're better than your chances of winning the lottery or being struck by lighning...

 

I will be claiming my laptop just as soon as they call me.

 

that may be a while, considering they're notifying winners via e-mail

 

ill email them back with my number.

 

lets hope all the winners gets the e-mailed to spam filtered so we get the next dip.

 

Not all of you will get the next dip, im checking my spam folder now.

 

HA! Just entered, this could help me pay for college... Rather keep my G1S and sell the VX2S lol Oh, and even though my G1S is flashy, it's not gonna get stolen, cause I find people that screw with me muhahahaha Jk. But yeah, I'm never letting that thing out of my sight (I'm using it's backpack as my only one...) and I'm taking out a $2500 insurance policy through the school for anything that gets stolen on campus, which includes my computer just in case. It's only $50, so what the heck? I thought that was a good deal for some peace of mind.

 

Will sell soul for that cute lil pink s6fm ^_^

 

Bodies are easier to sell, not to mention you get to keep them.

 

Lol, I lost my hotmail account in the years that it's been! So I registered, and if anyone else in Canada wins, you can send it to me! *duck* Thanks Coriolis,

Phoenix

 

I'm not sure whether I like the VX2 or the U3S better....The U3 is definitely the better notebook for me, but the VX2 is a *Lamborghini*, I mean who doesn't want a Lamborghini laptop?

Needless to say, I entered for both (with two different hotmail accounts - mine and my dads )

 

I personally think they're ugly and kind of gimmicky. Hardware specs aren't that hot either. But i wouldn't turn one down, you know.
