My original concerns were unfounded.

    It's going on Ebay!
    It's a good laptop but it is a high end business laptop, something to show off in the boardroom, not so great for movies, music or games.

    For that money I could get a cheap 42" plasma TV and an upgrade to my desktop PC

    i need to get involved with these competition type things - did you enter it from one of the ones over on the competition site??

    I got the link from here:

    Normally I don't go in for these things, I mean? What are the chances of winning these online competitions?? normally just email harvesting and scams!!!

    That link caught my eye because someone had actually WON something, also there were reports of people winning Office 2007 and actually receiving them.

    This is the first comptetion I have entered in donkeys, I registered a new throwaway email account so I couldn't be bothered if it was used for ill gains or not.

    When I won I used my real address, name and a payg mobile number just in case it was a scam. To be honest, I didn't believe it until my neighbour knocked my door with it in her hand!!

    Competition finishes tomorrow (15 Dec) so one more chance to win!!!
