I want to give someone in Africa a free laptop!
Here is what i have to offer:
Lenovo Thinkpad Edge
2GB Ram
Dual core CPU
250GB HDD
Charger
Windows 7
The unit is second hand, tested and working, ready to plugin and start using.
It sells here in Australia for about $80-100AUD.
Now i am sure many people want this.. so to make it fair we will have a little competition!!
To get this free laptop.. all you need to do is take a picture of yourself in Africa.. holding up a sign or piece of paper saying:
@jimbojones I want a free laptop!!
Whoever posts the best picture, decided by upvotes from the community will win.
Get creative.. post some nice scenery from Africa, wild animals, something funny or something interesting!!
A few simple rules to this competition:
You must reside in Africa.
You must be one of my followers to win.
Laptop will only be shipped to an address in Africa.
Picture must be taken in Africa.
You must be holding the sign with the writing "@jimbojones I want a free laptop!!"
Once you have received the laptop, i would really appreciate a pic of yourself, the laptop and a smile :)
This competition will run for one week.. winner will be announced 30/08/2017
Once a winner has been picked, shipment will be made within one week, ill provide my email so you can send me your address.
Shipment will be made via Australia post registered mail with tracking number.
Good luck guys.. i hope we can get some awesome pictures going!!
Nice, am in Kenya, Africa thinking of being a contender.

Although, if you don't try 100% you won't win.

If you check my post here:

I may sell some more of these soon for very cheap. I will check how much the shipping is once the competition is over and see if i can do more :)

You got a lenovo Y50?

That model looks very new.. mostly i get 2-3 year old stuff :)
I do certainly get some nice ones like that from time to time but not as often as i would like :)

Laptops in general are not good for gaming because they always overheat if you play them for long hours.
The best lenovo laptops that i would get in for gaming would be the T400 series.. they have a decent graphics card and some good ventilation.
If this promotion does well in the future i could give away much better computers.. time will tell :)

Jimbojones that is cool. Only if is not a cheap trick for personal benefit. However you have my vote. I want to do real business with you about your post concerning laptops trading.

Oh it's certainly a cheap trick for my own personal benefit :P
I am doing this competition to promote my steem account yes.
Although i do have a soft spot for Africa and would be delighted to send some hardware there..
So i call that a 360 win for everyone.. which is the only way to do business :)

How are we sure you would send the laptop
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

This is a good question :)
I currently send about 2000 computers per year to Africa.
One more won't hurt :)
And besides that.. the purpose of my promotions here on steemit is to build my following. I want to be popular on steemit and do well.
If i rip people off.. its going to have the opposite effect.. i will be mr unpopular.
Once the competition is over i will add the tracking number to this post.. so everyone can see the item is sent.

I do IT recycling for schools and companies.
Much of the older stuff can't be used much here in Australia anymore so much of it goes to Africa, Pakistan, India.
I am glad i can help people in poorer countries get computers :)
