Legendary pool player, Fast Eddie Felsen, once said: ".....Money won is twice as sweet as money earned....." Unfortunately not all of us have the skill to earn moolah in pool tournaments. However, the generous folks at LaptopMag want folks to experience that Fast Eddie feeling, by offering lucky punters the chance to win a free Systemax notebook PC.
WalterTevis's legendary character, Fast Eddie Felsen, once said -"Money won is twice as sweet as money earned."Unfortunately not all of us have the cue skill to win wads ofcash fleecing saps in pool tournaments. However, Laptopmag wantfolks to experience that winning feeling, by offering us luckypunters the vehicle to win a free laptop - a Systemax Pursuit 4220to be exact.
We've heard very little about Systemax here at Laptopical,however, we do know they assemble their own PCs and laptop computers, and market them in North America and Europe.
The Systemax Pursuit 4220 notebook has an eye catching redchassis and weighs 6.5 pounds. The 4220 is powered by an Intel 1.8-GHz Pentium M processor, and boasts an 80GB hard drive, 1GBof RAM, and a 15.4-inch SXGA Active Matrix WidescreenDisplay.
Wireless connectivity, 4 USB 2.0 ports, a FireWire port, DVD burner,and a 3-in-1 memory card reader are also on the menu.
UPDATE! - The competition closed on the 20th of september 2005.
