Lenovo VARs: Win A Free Notebook

Forget the Wonka bars and the golden ticket. The VAR Guy has stumbled onto a special Lenovo “Sizzling Summer Sweepstakes.” Lenovo’s channel partners will have a chance to be “one of our weekly winners of a Lenovo G530 notebook,” according Lenovo’s promotional text. Sweet. Here’s the scoop.

The VAR Guy loves suspense and drama, so he’s going to write a few distracting, time-consuming words before telling Lenovo partners how to enter the sweepstakes. The sweepstakes are sponsored by Intel, a chip supplier in Silicon Valley that was founded in July 1968. Perhaps you’ve heard of Intel and Moore’s Law. If not, you wouldn’t enjoy dinner with The VAR Guy. He tends to talk about Silicon Valley too much. And his table manners are awful.

Oh, and about that Lenovo Sizzling Summer Sweepstakes: Smart move. The fastest way to build buzz around technology products is to put the products in the hands of channel partners and VARs. And Lenovo’s sweepstakes will achieve exactly that. The VAR Guy will tell you how to enter the sweepstakes after this quick commercial break.

Commercial: Readers, please take 30 seconds. Look around The VAR Guy’s web site. Great content, eh?

Look Here Right Now

Welcome back. We’re ready to reveal how to participate in Lenovo’s Sizzling Summer Sweepstakes. Simply follow this link from Lenovo.

Full disclosure: Lenovo sponsors TheVARguy.com. But writing blog entry had nothing to do with the sponsorship. The VAR Guy loves telling readers about “free stuff.” And when he stumbled upon the Lenovo sweepstakes web page, he wanted to spread the news fast across Lenovo’s partner channel.

For the record, The VAR Guy does not plan to enter the contest since that would be a conflict of interest.
