Giveaway season begins at TechSpot
Welcome to TechSpot's first giveaway of 2010. This is one of many more to come as you may recall we had a pretty nice run last year getting those prizes out there to you.This time we are giving away an Acer Aspire Timeline 14" 4810T Laptop, similar to the one we reviewed last November. The Acer Timeline 4810T is a solid system that offers exceptional battery life (8+ hours), good portability and modest performance at a competitive price. It's a pretty neat system, valued at $550.
What it takes to win
- First leave a comment below and let us know you want to join the contest (that's not all, keep reading).
- Become an active participant in the news comments starting today and until next Friday, March 19th (roughly two weeks from now).
- For every comment you make you get an extra chance to win (e.g. if you've posted 20 times during the contest, you get 20 chances).
- To make this a sane competition we will cap the number of max comments during the giveaway to 50 total (~4 posts per day on average).
- If a participant posts nonsense comments recurrently we will automatically remove him from the giveaway without any notification.
- Quantity is important but QUALITY will be taken under serious consideration.
- TechSpot staff members will monitor and join the conversations. Our usernames are highlighted in blue.
Other rules and regulations
- We will randomly select one (1) winner using weights depending on the number of comments posted during the giveaway time frame (per the rules above).
- We won't limit participation based on geographic location. We will ship the laptop from the U.S. to the location the winner designates. We shall not be held responsible for any customs import taxes or additional fees incurred in the process.
- The prize is not an off the shelf item. It is however practically new as was only used for evaluation on the site. The manufacturer (Acer) has granted us permission to give it away to our readers.
- The winner will be notified via email. Only TechSpot community members can participate as we will use your account's email for notification. As always, you can register here free of charge.
- Once selected, the winner will be notified via email and have 3 days to respond and accept the prize. It will also be announced at this location. If we don't receive a response by the fourth day, we will select a new winner in his/her place.
Good luck everyone!

Shoot, count me in. Anything is better than than the slow crap that I own. It'd be nice to own something nice for once, especially since i'll be starting school. Thanks for the contest, TechSpot.

I like this Timeline, count me in please!
-
i'm in for this contest need a new laptop
-
Nice laptop, grandson could use it for school. Count me in!
Is there a reason the laptop has Vista loaded versus Window 7? Would seem that Win 7, even the starter version would make it quicker than Vista.

I want to join this contest, well about this laptop..what I really like most is the 8+Hours of battery life which is hard to find on some other brand with same specs...Acer is always improving..Thank you techspot for this opportunity, good luck to all of us...

count me in

I already posted - asking to get in, but just in case it helps make sure my posts are counted : I know what i would do if i got. My brother is going to Belize with the peace corps at the end of the month and could really use a newer and more importantly smaller computer with better battery life. His currently one is 4 years old, weighs a ton, and battery life is down to like 30 min. Was fine for a desktop replacement in his dorm room, but not so great for travel. Anyway - it goes to him if i win :-D
-
Awesome, thats the perfect laptop for me.
-
I'd love to be a part of this contest.
-
Its a nice chance to win a laptop now.. Count me in.. I wanna compete.. Not for the sake of the laptop but for the sake of participating and keeping myself updated with the news through out the 2 weeks .. Hope its fun..
-
i would like to enter into this contest, thanks. =]
Just a thought: is the RAM expandable beyond 4gb? and is there an optical drive and/or burner on this? Ok, thanks for your time.
