Not gonna get my hopes up too much with all the talent I have seen so far. But, I am hoping to at least make it somewhere in top 8th for originality, effort, uniqueness and creativity.

yeah i hope i win one of the laptops so i can finally give my wife one so she doesn't hog mine. :crazy:

I don't even own a laptop, using my trusty AMD Sempron 1.6 GHz to participate. Winning one of the notebooks would be a definite step up in life. But however this contest turns out, I had fun participating and seeing the different creative entries. Good luck to all and remember, its all in good fun. At least I can turn mine into a wallpaper. :D

I didn't get a chance to enter anything.

Ah well.

Some look really good, will be interesting to see who wins.

Though maybe next time something like this is held, maybe the person entering could write something about it,, even if it was only revealed afterwards, would be interesting to see how some people did here's, and why, lol.

Ok now that it's over I would like to say that weather screwed me. Last week we had -8?C and I was working on ice sculpture of Neowin.net logo. It was 60% done the only thing that was missing were finnish touches that would make ice transperant. I had everything prepered candels,different set of background things like wood,carton,bushes etc. Logo was 1,3(width)x1.20(height). Everything was in front of my garage and then one morning I woke up and saw that sculpture is gone!!! That night was +6?C and at 10pm was already 12?C!!!

What can I say, I hope this kind of competition will be more often.

And good luck to every participians.

Why, you only signed up here to enter the competition, there were 120odd entries the odds of you being in the shortlist let alone the top 8 are next to none.

*sigh*

The competition is open to anyone, except Neowin related staff or ex-staff, as stated in the first post. If you registered 2 days ago and submitted yesterday your entry would still be legit. The judges don't look at the date you registered nor do they look at the amount of posts you've made. No, they judge the picture on its contents and creativity.

Sorry, it's time to get out of your shell. An earlier registration date or a bigger amount of posts does not make anyone more than someone else.

    • Valve finally confirms Steam Machine prices, starts at $1049 for 512GB option

      By Parallax Abstraction · Posted

      I understand the position Valve is in with hardware pricing thanks to the AI bubble, but as others have said, this is DOA at this price point. There's no world in which a machine at that performance level is worth that price. My girlfriend's a console gamer and after meeting me, wanted to try PC but wanted something she could use on her TV with a controller. The Steam Machine is basically tailor made for her, but only at what it would have cost before the hardware crisis. I took my old Lenovo Legion laptop with a Ryzen 5800H and a 3060 Mobile 8GB, put Bazzite on it and it does the same thing with the games she's interested in very well. She still likes the Steam Machine, but won't be touching it until component prices are back in the sane range. I know Valve isn't a charity, but I don't know why they're not willing to at least partially subsidize this device or even take a loss on it during the component crisis, just to build some market share. Then again, the Steam Deck is also a complete ripoff at its current price and they can barely keep them in stock so...
