Neowin Giveaway: Lenovo A63 - Winner Announced -

[bdsams Veteran]

From the front page

"Up for grabs this time around is the Lenovo A63 which Neowin reviewed earlier this year. The unit will also come with two 22in monitors that work quite nicely with the A63?s dual screen ready configuration out of the box.

So what do you have to do to win this rig? It?s simple, visit this thread and enter your dream A63 configuration. How do you build your A63, visit Lenovo?s website here and use their online configuration tool to create an A63, then paste the specs into the forum thread. You can do this one time per day (dont enter more than once per day, we can tell) for the duration of the contest. A winner will be randomly selected from the entrants.

The contest will run from June 24th to midnight on June 28th EST. As this product is only sold in the US and Canada, the contest will be restricted to US and Canadian participants only. Sorry to all the other readers but we don?t make the rules, but don?t worry, we will cook up something for you all too in the coming time.

Quick Notes:

? To enter, visit this thread and

? Paste a custom configuration from Lenovo?s A63 website found here and

? One entry per day and

? Must be a US or Canadian citizen."

The winner has been selected, its Relativity_17, Congrats!

[Richard Hammond]

Fail US only.
