>>Write a blog post on the things that you think will keep you hooked to a "Transformed" T100 when you're on the move.

May be we have to write down why we would love to use the product and not want to put it down even when we are busy.

Abhimanyu Singh
from Raipur |

But we havent used that product, so how could we write about it, do we have to write imaginary things about the product.

Gaurab
from New Delhi |

Yes, they should now send a sample product to everyone Money mouth

Any early birds and indipattanis in this one?

Ranjith

None! If there were, then it would have been mentioned on the contest page explicitly.

HR

You can blog about "What keeps you hooked on to technology even when you're on the move? Is it playing your favourite games, talking to friends, catching up on some work you love doing?" Write about it :) and win...all the best for all participants.

What's the order for winning a mouse, backpack and the pullover ? I think this needs some clarity.

Ranjith
from hyderabad |

Normally, it is top to bottom and left to right. I think that will be the order here also and I think price of mouse > backpack > pullover ( not sure )

But then, it should have been 20 backpacks and 25 pullovers Innocent 

Gaurab
from New Delhi |

Now one has to write good enough to win a pullover but not that good to win the mouse Undecided

101X Eee PC ?  I wish they gave away Transformer Book T100 in prize, coz anyway thats what they are promoting. I've left Meego OS long back, can't think of returning to em after having a taste of Android and Windows 8.1.  I wish the prizes were more awsum .. tech is my thing and I'd have been very interested. Frown

HEY i wanted to know if i can list my blog in two different category? i just got it posted in a category sports-adventure. but i want to change it. can i do it?

Ranjith
from hyderabad |

Are you talking about a blog link you submitted on IndiVine? You can choose only one category.

If you are talking about this contest, you can't choose any category. There is a default category. You should submit your post using the ' Submit'  button on the contest page and not IndiVine.

Contest after a long time :)

The Sorcerer

Asus is a Taiwanese based brand that has presence and management in India. Last time I know (till the time I was in good relations with them), the management is divided into components and mobile devices- like laptop, tablets, etc.X101 EeePC is an obsolete netbook based on Intel Atom N2600 processor:

http://www.asus.com/Notebooks_Ultrabooks/Eee_PC_X101CH/specifications/

AFAIK, Intel phased out Atom and therefore all notebook manufacturers seized making netbooks a long LONG time ago. Asus and Acer was among the last to discontinue. FYI, the processor is phased out, and it was available on Q4 2011:http://ark.intel.com/products/58916/Intel-Atom-Processor-N2600-%281M-Cache-1_6-GHz%29

So....basically its obsolete, phased out, 1 gen that I am sure its going to be more of a headache even for day-to-day use. Not a good way to clear out remaining stock...of 1.

Pointless contest and if I was a person who is participating in this contest, I would be insulted if I got the X101. You're giving away a netbook based on 1gen Atom that barely works properly even for basic use anyways. Back in 2011, the MRP of X101 was Rs. 13,000 (minus Rs. 1 for the "999" thingy). Not sure of the fonepad, but if there are any DIY PC hardware enthusiasts, they would probably aim for the ROG hoodie.

The Sorcerer

Atleast arrange a meet in some cities so that people can have a hands-on with it? Didn't HP do the same thing? Atleast in Mumbai? Heck they even give away a decent enough AIO PC in the meet itself. Contests where obsolete junk is given certain degrades the overall value of contest writers/promoters....errrr....bloggers.

Anant Aggarwal
from Faridabad |

@The Sorcerer Though I agree that the processor is old, obsolete and phased out, but its not quite a headache for day to day use. I have an Acer netbook powered by Intel Atom N570 bought around 3 years back and its still sufficiently nifty, of course not comparable to even the barebones laptops these days. Very frankly, you cannot use it as your primary computer, but having one to supplement or complement your laptop, it can come in quite handy specially for bloggers writing DIY or how-to articles. Anyways, if I'll participate in this contest, it would definitely be for the Fonepad. Smile

The Sorcerer
from Mumbai |

I have tested Asus 1015PW Eee PC- and I think there's a slight clock speed bump over this. worst thing ever. Pretty sure its a 1st gen too. Even during tests, you barely can do most activities properly. Tests also indicate that netbook's performance stutters with 30% battery reserve. Older AMD processor and the later arrived fusion can do certain activities pretty well, though none except HP brought such units due to overall negativity towards AMD in India. Another point is that the minute you start giving importance to contests that give away obsolete and commercially phased stuff, consider the entire memberbase to be considered as an uber cheap promotion. Choice is in your hands (not just Anant).

Nandini Deka
from Bombay |

how much is its value now...or it doesnt sell anywhere?

The Sorcerer
from Mumbai |

Netbooks were phased out long time ago, more than a year. I don't think you can sell it for 4-5k and above unless you're dealing with an idiot.

Nandini Deka
from Bombay |

okie..dint know all that

vaisakhi mishra
from thane |

Nandini the cost in market is actually 8k-11k depending on the stores but I doubt prominent stores like croma reliance or vijay sales would ever keep its stock.....more over I agree with the Sorcerer....Intel Atom is obsolete so are net books these days...I had used Acer Netbook wih Intel Atom n2600 and it worked for exactly 1 yr 3 months Frown...gave it for repair at the Acer house in Malad, got it back after a month and post that it worked exactly for 6 moths and 2 days - 2 days i remember coz the warranty period had ended Yell. So not very cool first prize...would really want the Fonepad though..but writing for this contest will give Asus cheap publicity so am very confused now...Undecided

The Sorcerer
from Mumbai |

I am also assuming that its not one of those used media samples that's usually given to media and reviewers for posting reviews about the unit. I am seeing such trend of getting rid of used samples in gaming tournaments, so why not in such contests. I might be wrong, mind you! But its best if one asks Asus India directly via facebook to get clarification.

I would prefer some clarification from Indiblogger, too.

Ranjith

So, the price of the first and second prize is the same? Surprised

If the situation is actually what TS has mentioned and the product is out of the market then they should have definitely given more of these are prizes Money mouth
