Hello,

1. I have subscribed to your news via google.
2. To be honest, I found this website on a list of those participating in the Lenovo A70z Giveaway.
3. In terms of timing, this may be perfect, as my nephew after few weeks of playing web games on my pc, allowed my 4 yr old Dell PC to be infiltrated by all kinds of pc warms. Monitor is moody too, sometimes refusing to turn on! All in one desktop is the best all in one solution for my current situation. Thank you and good luck to everyone.

I’m connected several ways. I’ve been connected since the beginning!!
Let’s keep it simple. I’m in need of a new computer like 3 years ago! I’ve seen this machine, and I’m very impressed by it. Its ideal for my personal and professional use.

I’m winning!! Everyone else…sorry! :-)

I would like to have the Lenovo because I have decided that it would be an ideal kitchen accessory. After analyzing the space in our kitchen there is one wall that it could hang perfectly on and would be ideal for looking up and referring to recipes while cooking, watching or listening to downloads while doing tedious kitchen prep, and then a photo slideshow as background when not in use for other things. I also can forsee it being awesome for quickly looking up emails, directions, addresses, and other things before running out the kitchen door (we haven’t quite joined the smartphone age and therefore have to be prepared Before leaving the home).

Thanks for offering this giveaway.

Hello!
I connected to this site by joining the facebook page. And the reason I need this computer is quite plainly because my HP laptop that I poured my money into has died on me. Right now I’ve been forced to do my computing on a 7 year old Compaq laptop that won’t charge while its on, so I have to use my computer in short hour long sessions. If you don’t think I’m the most deserving then no big deal. I’ll continue with my old Compaq tank but if you do, it would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks a bunch,
John C

I need this so i can work on the millions of freelance projects i have going on at all times, as well as the million papers due – small business owner AND college student. and i’ve noticed i’m way more productive with a desktop!

I wish to win this computer for my little brother. His five year old laptop is breaking down and this new computer will help him a lot in his school work.

I am your twitter follower. My account is sunnyleemax

I really need this computer to help make my life as a college student easier. Right now I am using a desktop that I bought eight years ago because my newest one was stolen while I was walking back to my apartment one night. Unfortunately, I can’t afford a new one because money is very tight for me right now. So I have no choice but to use an old system that lags after one hour of use. This is driving me a bit crazy. To make sure that I don’t go crazy, I prefer to use the computer at the school library. That means a lot of the time, Ihave to stay overnight at the library to finish my projects. So as you can see, winning this computer would be a blessing to me.

14 Alison July 15, 2010 at 1:28 am

I’m subscribed, following you and loving The Art of Accessories. I miss seeing your posts on the weekends!!

I really need a new computer. My old laptop is ugly, slow and makes me crazy. I can fold a load of laundry, come back, and the stupid thing is still “thinking.” I would throw it at the wall if I could afford to replace the hole it made and the stupid laptop at the same time. Winning this would be the best thing to happen to me all year!

my computer is 6 years old already. Because the tuition fee is soaring, I cannot afford to buy a new one. As a computer science student, I really need a faster computer to work on my project and hw.

I am a twitter follower (@msk_will), a facebook fan, and a I have you in my Google reader. I could use this lovely computer because I am a mom blogger, creative stuff blogger, and writing my first blockbuster novel! All of these activities would be greatly enhanced by the Lenovo A70z! I’m thinking vloging with the assist of the integrated camera w/ mic, skype-ing my (future) literary agent, and basically just being able to be more AWESOME!! Currently I use a laptop for everything because my desktop has passed it’s prime and honestly, the disc drive won’t even open anymore *sad lil momma face* Whew, was that long winded enough?

I wish to win this computer not for myself but for my wife. She has worked very hard throughout her life yet something bad always happens to her. Just three years ago, her life took a major turn when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Yet she still had to work despite her illness because our savings were not enough to pay for her staggering
medical bills. We even moved back with my parents so that we can squeeze as much money possible out of our expenses. It was perhaps the toughest three years we have ever lived. Thankfully she is a strong woman and has since recovered. Unfortunately, in another twist of event, she was laid off from her job. After couple months of actively
seeking employment without much luck, she has decided to go back to school to get her master degree as to improve her chance of employment when the economy gets better. Right now, she is taking summer classes
at our local college and working part-time as well. As for me, I am juggling two jobs right now. The two of us share a desktop computer that is a bit outdated. My wife often expresses her frustration while she works on her school work because our clunker would either freeze or lag terribly after some time of use. And adding one GB of ram only improved its performance a little bit. Sadly, we couldn’t afford to buy a new computer because we could barely get our ends meet every month and our debts seem to keep on growing despite our best efforts. So as you can see, winning this computer would truly be a huge blessing to our life. It would really put a big smile on her face and

I could really use this…my old P4 (single core, no hyperthreading) system needs to retire, as well as this PIII-M laptop I’m using right now :/

30 Darlene O'Brien July 15, 2010 at 2:28 pm

I ‘m following on twitter.
I would love a new computer with all the features.

31 Coria July 15, 2010 at 2:38 pm

1. i’ve already been alot of those things so i just subscribed to the rss feed!
2. I need this computer because im in college and writing papers at the public library is frustrating. I also need it for social networking for my friends because doing it on my phone is weird.

32 Amanda July 15, 2010 at 2:40 pm

I’m a twitter follower ( @amandapersists )!

I would love a new computer – Mine is 10 years old (That’s like, 100? in computer years). I was OK with it’s sub-par performance because we live in the country and only had dial-up available to us, so movies, music and games were off limits. 6 months ago they finally brought DSL out this way and a whole new world has opened up, but I can’t experience much yet because my machine can’t handle it! I would love love LOVE an upgrade. Thanks so much for the chance!!

Hi,
You have a great blog. I’m on the fringe of style, so every little bit helps.

I signed up for your newsletter.
A new computer would replace my 10-year old Dell desktop that sits in my kitchen. I’m making a noise and I have a feeling it’s ready to go.

34 Gerald Loiselle July 15, 2010 at 3:24 pm

Hi! I follow on Twitter @GJLoiselle and I would like to win because my old computer is outdated and I can’t afford a new one. Thanks for the giveaway!

35 Dan Bailan July 15, 2010 at 3:31 pm

Hey there. I followed on Twitter @zorobailan201. I need to win this computer so that I can replace my current desktop that has given me nothing but headache. I am too broke to buy a new one myself.

36 Daniel Han July 15, 2010 at 6:09 pm

I became a fan or liked the fanpage in facebook.
I need this computer because I am currently going to be a junior in high school and most people say that junior year was the hardest year in high school. I’ll be needing this for projects, essays, powerpoints, etc. Plus my computer had gotten a virus about 2 years ago so i haven’t had a computer since and my family has been sharing 1 computer which is a real bother when it comes to doing homework. That is why I need this computer.

oops I left one out of my original entry!! I’m now following you with Blog Lovin’ too. :)

I just want to add that these computer giveaways are great to get visitors to your site, but most people will unsubscribe right away if they don’t enter. Yes, I admit I’m bad about that too. But your blog is an exception. I’ll definitely still be following you long after this giveaway is over. :) Keep up the great work!

arggh! I meant to say “most people will unsubscribe right away if they don’t WIN”. My fingers can’t keep up with my brain. LOL! Or is it the worn out keyboard on this ancient dinosaur of a computer?? I need the new Lenovo!! :)

I need this because my PC is too slow. And I don’t feel like spending any more money upgrading it because it’s just not worth it. So hopefully I can win the Lenovo. By the way, I like your M&M !!

45 CSH July 15, 2010 at 11:31 pm

DWJ!!! Well, of course I was already connected x2 (Facebook Page and Twitter Follower). I had to complete the other 5 connections (for a total of all 7!) – using my iTouch. I was unable (for some reason) to submit my comment using my iTouch so I am using my husbands laptop. Which brings me to one of the reasons I NEED the computer -my poor laptop is no longer among the living :-( While I LOVE my iTouch, it can be a bit tedious to fill out forms using it. The most important reason is that my 7 yr old son and my 1 1/2 yr old daughter really do need a desk top that they can use regularly. It would also come in handy to store information from my new “gotta get” – the iPad!

By the way, I must say, you are doing great things with The A of A. I look forward to seeing what you have to share each day. Keep it coming DWJ!!

Like a lot of people, my computer is too old and slow to be much useful. If I win this computer, it will greatly improve my efficiency. Then I would have more time to do something else.

47 Ryan Long July 15, 2010 at 11:52 pm

I need to win this computer so that I I can replace my dinosaurlaptop. That computer has accompanied me since middle school. I thinkit is about time that I get a new one. So winning this one will be agodsend to me
