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.

    • A coalition of publishers sued OpenAI and Microsoft over scraping content without consent

      By sagum · Posted

      Just the price of doing business. The scamble to pull as much from the web as possible is happening, and it's happening before a case like this changes how or what is legal do to with AI in terms of data harvesting. But even then as we've seen with the likes of Google who ignore cookie requests and just accept the fact they'll get fined, it's built into their business price model now. AI is here, its not going away. Their reward if any from the court case would be best suited to trying to incorprate AI or licence their end points as authentic human verified content. The problem is, as we've seen these same news papers are using AI themselves.
    • IBM reveals sub-1nm chip technology, production expected in another 5 years

    • This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of by Hamid Ganji While companies like Apple and Samsung have been relatively conservative with their devices’ battery capacities in recent years, Chinese manufacturers have taken the competition to the next level by introducing significantly larger batteries. However, the latest report from China suggests that a local company may already be developing a smartphone with a whopping 14,000mAh battery. Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station claimed on Weibo that a smartphone maker is developing a device with a 14,000mAh battery. If true, it would be the largest battery ever used in a smartphone and could, in theory, provide up to a week of battery life on a single charge. The leaker did not reveal the name of the company behind the device, but there are some clues. This week, HONOR unveiled the X80 Pro Max in China with an 11,000mAh battery and 90W wired charging support. The company also launched the Honor Win in January, which packs a 10,000mAh battery. HONOR, a former subsidiary of Huawei, has a proven track record of developing smartphones with unusually large batteries. However, other Chinese brands, including Xiaomi, have also launched devices such as the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max with 7,500mAh batteries. Though Chinese users on Weibo also believe the company behind the new battery is HONOR. Interestingly, Digital Chat Station said the device with the 14,000mAh battery weighs around 220 grams, making it lighter than the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max (233 grams) and slightly heavier than the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra (214 grams). The iPhone 17 Pro Max currently packs a 5,088mAh battery in eSIM-only versions, while the Galaxy S26 Ultra features a 5,000mAh battery. Neither device is expected to see a dramatic increase in battery capacity in its next-generation successor. So when it comes to battery comparison, Chinese brands are unbeaten. HONOR smartphones are currently available in the EU, but the Chinese brand has no official presence in the United States due to restrictions imposed by the U.S. government.
