    The holidays are right around the corner, but wouldn't it be nice to get an early present by winning a $5,000 ThinkPad Reserve notebook? There's just two days left to register and watch ThinkLive for your chance to win the ThinkPad Reserve. The winner will be selected on November 2nd from the pool of registrants that sign up to watch the ThinkPad 15th Anniversary video, there's no painful survey involved.

    Register here to watch the ThinkPad 15th Anniversary ThinkLive event before November 2nd and win a ThinkPad Reserve


    Below is a preview of the ThinkLive video we posted on YouTube, the actual video is about 20 minutes long:

    <object height='350' width='425'><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/v6LnJC0Rw-0" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /><embed height='350' src="http://www.youtube.com/v/v6LnJC0Rw-0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width='425' wmode="transparent" /></object>

    The ThinkPad Reserve you see in the video and picture below is a $5,000 special edition notebook from Lenovo that is clad in leather and comes with a unique 3-year support warranty where you get same day support service virtually anywhere in the world. You can even get your name embossed on the leather if you like. It's hands down the best smelling laptop out there.

    Win this! (but only if you watch ThinkLive by November 1st)

    That's true. On the other hand, I could just use my uncles address and get it when he comes to sweden. And then I'd get a thinkpad.

    Is the leather a part of the notebook itself or is it just a sleeve? Too bad they didn't take a page out of Asus' book and integrate the leather into the notebook.

    I'm going to go against the grain here, I happen to think it looks pretty awesome, almost as awesome as my piano black LG (which is saying something, since I loved the LG enough to order it from the great white north). Should I win it I'll use it in class, just for the awesomeness factor of walking in with a leather laptop.
