In celebration of the "one-year-out mark for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games," Lenovo has just announced that it will be conducting a series of back-to-back, week-long auctions to gift high bidders with its svelte Olympic-themed machine. Beginning on February 8, 2008, a "Cloud of Promise" laptop will be available for bidding each week leading up to the Olympic Games, and a number of them will even be "autographed by athlete ambassadors." Reportedly, "100-percent" of the proceeds will be distributed through the Lenovo Hope Fund to select philanthropies, including Right to Play, and the auctions will take place at the currently unavailable www.lenovohopefundauctions.com website.[Via TechDigest]
"Cloud of Promise" laptop = vaporware?
No, that would be the Medison laptop.
Olympic computers eh? Who wants to bet the fastest of the bunch is Kenyan?
Um, no. The fastest would most likely be Jamaican. The Kenyan model would have the longest battery life. But that is one sweet looking laptop.
All for charity =)
