Netbooks News, Hacks and HowTo’s

If you dream of owning a Lenovo IdeaPad S10 netbook for FREE, then you might probably be lucky one of these days if you tune in to Magic 89.9 every morning at 6:00 AM HKT. The crew of Good Times with Mo is announcing that they are giving away Lenovo IdeaPad S9 and S10 in the coming weeks, though no exact date has been mentioned yet.

Good Times with Mo is a famous morning radio show in the Philippines hosted by DJ Mo Twister, Mojo Jojo, and Grace Lee. The said show is very credible, as it’s not the first time they give away huge prices like this. Some of the prizes callers have won already is a Canon DSLR, couple of laptops, thousands of concert tickets, including certain amount in cash up to a Php 100,000. The largest prize given away so far is a brand new Chery QQ car courtesy of Chery. Another car is possibly be on their queue coming up.

If you’re good at guessing games or category games, then you might get the prizes. Beware though that getting though the line during the show is the most challengin part.

Lenovo’s first installment for the Netbook category is now available for purchase and shipping. CompUSA has listed the IdeaPad S10 for 429.99 in white and pink. Both models come in 10.2″ screen @ 1024×600 with Windows XP Home Edition and up to 3 hours battery life. Still not close to one day computing.
