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. Details on our contest and a list of the other participating sites after the jump.

3. One winner will be chosen at random at some point 7/2 from all the valid entries and will be posted here.

Rules

1. Winner must be located in North America (Canada/US), as the PC you’ve been evaluating is only sold in US and Canada.
2. This contest is not open to anyone affiliated with The Gadgeteer (writers or their families).
3. You can only fill out the survey one time per person.
4. Individuals who’ve won at another site are ineligible to win a second time.
5. If your entry is chosen as the winner, you must respond to my email within 48hrs or another winner will be chosen.

CONTEST CLOSED – the WINNER is entry #158 – Dennis. Dennis has 48hrs to respond to my email, or I’ll choose another winner.

Update 7/5/10 – Dennis failed to respond to my email after more than 48hrs, so I’ve chosen #32 – BJ Swanson as the winner, and he has already claimed his prize.

91 FRAN SMITH June 28, 2010 at 9:42 pm

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.

92 Jose Molina-Clemen June 28, 2010 at 9:45 pm

Love your reviews & would love u even more if you pick me as the winner ;) … THNX!

93 Gary June 28, 2010 at 9:49 pm
