Win a Speck SeeThru Case Every Day This Week

**THE GIVEAWAY ELEMENT OF THIS IS NOW CLOSED**

You all know me by now… one of the first things I do when I get a new laptop is to put some sort of case on it. With the elegance of Apple design, it is always nice if I can achieve this without too much bulk being added. For an example of how this can be acheived, check out my review below of the Speck SeeThru Case.

Every day this week I will be randomly selecting one winner, who will get to choose a Speck SeeThru case of their choice from the selection below. This giveaway will run from Monday 30th January 2012 at 1am GMT through to 5th February 2012 at midnight GMT. I will randomly select the winner the following day, with the last winner being announced on the 6th Feb. You can enter as many times as you want, max once per day. Any age is welcome to enter & available worldwide.

Are you Visibly Smart? Asus Competition

ASUS UK, alongside partner Intel, has announced the launch of the 'Visibly Smart' short video competition; a celebration of the creative strength in British filmmaking and a chance for talented teams to win a video commission from ASUS UK as well as their own N Series notebooks. 


The Visibly Smart video competition invites moving-image makers from across the UK to create a 2 minute piece of work that commends being Visibly Smart, reflects the ASUS global ethos (Inspiring Innovation, Persistent Perfection) and cleverly incorporates an innovative feature of the N Series range of notebooks. 

All entries will be uploaded onto the ASUS consumer portal (Here) from 20th June 2011 where the public will be invited to engage through comments and voting. 

Everyone that votes or comments on the videos will be entered into a prize draw to win an N Series laptop for themselves. The visionary team behind the winning video will each receive an N Series laptop (up to 4). What's more, the talented filmmakers will be profiled on ASUS' global website and commissioned to create a video for ASUS UK later in 2011/2012.
