Starting today, 21 web sites will be giving away a brand new Lenovo A70z all in one PC exactly like the one I reviewed here a few weeks ago. The Gadgeteer is lucky enough to be the first site to start our contest! The other sites will have their own type of contest and start dates, so you’ll want to check out each one on the opening day of their contest to see what you have to do to enter.

Great prize for fans
Ok! Come on LENOVO!
…Seriously, my computer is dying on me… I’m using my brother’s laptop to fill this out. I’m desperate here…
My wife introduced me to this site and now I visit it more than she does. Good information in a readable style. Something new each time I visit.
Good luck everyone!
Just finished the survey – hope you get feedback you can use. Love the site from back in the Palm days.
I’ve been surveyed, good luck to me!
I wanted to comment on the recent improvement and recommendations by vendors to look closely at the LENOVO products, especially notebooks and netbooks. I know they have been around for quite a long time, but it seems they have been running a close race with the other big names (like ACER, Hewlett-Packard, DELL, ASUS, and many other brands I see advertized.
THE GADGETEER is very informative, fun, and I enjoy the professionalism it appears to convey. I would love to win this model A70z, All-in-one desktop. I am keeping my fingers crossed.
Love your reviews & would love u even more if you pick me as the winner ;)… THNX!

Would love to have this one, maybe I could let my college daughter have it and get my pc back or visa versa. (I found it pretty comical that you were interested in the reuseable bag I visalized you opening the box, grapping the bag and throwing the computer aside.)
I left the comment in the wrong place yesterday, I put it under the review instead of here. Sorry for the doubles.
