Few MAJOR drawbacks: Vista, preinstalled 60 day-Norton, Adobe reader, AOL music, and unknown Softthings Restore solution. Not pure Windows. Wow, it even has numeric keypad, HDMI input and a remote. I want one too

eh, there's always an "uninstall" place, which I bet the person who gets will be dying to use as soon as they get it.

 I can see what you post! Group: Members Posts: 6,313 Joined: 14-February 05 From: Somewhere in North East Ohio Member No.: 12,053 |
Great specs! I'm looking forward to the contest. This would save me a lot of money on my student loan if I can win this instead of buying a dell/alienware laptop.
(I normally don't prefer HP stuff, actually I despise it, but heck I'll take it if it's free! )

QUOTE(Grinler @ Apr 29 2008, 10:54 PM) Yes, this is an international contest. All countries are elegible. Sorry for a stupid question, but you said its international. Is the software reflecting that too? Or is the winner receiving your testing machine? Just asking because Germany doesnt even have "AOL" anymore lol. That postage bill must be humongous lol.

Everything being offered is international. Good question on the software whether or not there are international versions, multi-language, or just english. Will look into it.

All countries eligible. What about BC members? Are BC Advisors, MRU Students, News Reporters, and HJT Team members allowed to join?
I'm going to continue HJT training regardless, but I want to make sure. >_< -------------------- "If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it.
