We have a winner! Congratulations to jz48 who responded about as I would have, "Wow, I'm the winner!!! I can't believe it! Thank you so much!!..."
Thanks again to all who participated. We at FatWallet are excited to have the opportunity to bring a reward of so much value to the community we value so much.
FatWallet is giving away the Ultimate Laptop . . . to you, the ultimate authorities!
How well can you max out our $4,000 at one FatWallet Merchant? Our merchant partners have oodles of customizable top shelf laptops that would look swell in your hands and be the envy of your peers.
You're the experts–show off your ultimate laptop configuration. Maybe it's trickin' out a new Dell XPS M1730, or using one of our other examples below? We're betting you can build your own impressive machine. Your only restrictions are:
1. Final cost of configuration and components: Up to $4,000.00 retail. (Does not include sales/coupons/rebates)
2. Laptop must come from one FatWallet Merchant
3. Your configuration must be all inclusive from the manufacturer (which may include options such as additional memory, bigger hard drive, faster graphics processor, extended warranty, etc. and does not include third party software and/or accessories)
To ENTER:Sign up or Sign in and then reply to this topic between April 21-25. Preferably, reply with either your laptop configuration (within the restrictions listed above), one of the four example configurations below (i.e. "Cache me in with Configuration #1"), or reply with "My cache is full" (or something "PC-like") that indicates you want to participate.
Eligibility: Eligible entries will be received between April 21, 12:00 a.m CST, and April 25, 11:59 p.m. CST. Limit one entry per eligible individual. (Keep posting if you choose to engage with other participants, but this will not improve your odds to win.) The winner will be chosen randomly and must comply to the information listed above and in the Official Rules. Please read the legal terms of this giveaway.
Please remember to check back soon after the end of this promotion. Winning member will be notified by PM (private message) and listed at the top of this thread upon confirmation.
