MY QUEST TO WIN A LENOVO YOGA TABLET 8

This past Saturday twenty five Bloggers attended the first Durban Bloggers event at the #Hashtag restaurant in Durban.There was so much hype about the event in the days leading up to the "Big" day and all I can say is....
"it certainly exceeded all our expectations and didn't disappoint and really was the most awesome event" and 
a huge "Thank You" must go to the organizers 
Verushka, Michelle and Nicola.

The women that attended were a mixed bag of beauty,foodie and lifestyle bloggers,but another thing that we all had in common was the need for a computer,laptop or tablet in order to write our words of wisdom, so the fact that Lenovo were there to talk to us about their latest tablet was a perfect collaboration.

I must make it very clear to everyone that I am not the kind of person that enters every competition out there, that was until, the Lenovo ladies told us that one lucky blogger could win the Yoga Tablet 8. 
Entry requirements were simple, just tweet about something that you were prepared to give up in order to win this little beauty. 

For those that read and follow me regularly know my absolute passion is Chocolate and that is what I was prepared to give up...yes you read correctly! They didn't say for how long, but I do eat too much and the scales are testament to that., so I was seriously going to give it up, especially in readiness for my trip overseas at the end of May. My rationale was to loose some weight in order to indulge in my 
"chocoholic" tendencies overseas..

Back to the competition...which lasted for the 2-3 hrs of the Bloggers meet. I had such a good vibe about this prize after all, I had a 1 in 25 chance of winning, so I thought I would share my tweets and you be the judge..
I even tweeted a photo of a beautiful mug of hot chocolate, headache tablets and my lenovo laptop loving its new lenovo bag!

Start of the Tweets on my quest to WIN with lenovo

Unfortunately in the end I lost out to a charitable blogger, so you can imagine my disappointment...

Not being an IT boffin, you won't be getting any of the high tech stuff from me, but I do remember that all of the following appealed to me as a blogger and especially as I have just started a career in Vlogging (well.. doing 1 Vlog is a start to my career)

Once you read the below you will have a better understanding of what could have been...

One consolation...I get to eat Lindt Chocolate bunnies at Easter!

Dazzling Audio

Unlike most tablets, the Yoga Tablet 8's speakers face front — toward you — rather than to the side or out the bottom (much better as my tummy won't block the sound whilst it sits on my lap) Combine that with Dolby® audio enhancement and you have a rich, immersive sound experience.

Front & Rear Cameras
The 5.0M rear and 1.6M front cameras let you take high-definition pictures.
(great as it will improve my non existent photography skills) 

Battery Life
Up to 18 hours (which means I can happily blog away all day and then sleep for 6 hours and begin all over again) Yoga Tablet's unique, cylinder-shaped side chamber allows more room for battery storage (also doubles up as a grip, far better than the slippy fruity tablet I have at the moment)

Microphone
Integrated microphone with noise reduction (this sounds good, hopefully it will improve the sound of my voice)

Ports
micro-USB, audio jack, micro SD card (a must) 

Ultra Sharp Visuals

The Yoga Tablet 8's  8" Vision Full HD (1280 x 800 resolution) display delivers sharper, more detailed images and high definition video with a 178° wide viewing angle. Plus, adaptive display technology auto-adjusts screen brightness and colors to match where you are, making reading more comfortable.

Great Connectivity Options
Intergrated Bluetooth, WiFi, GPS and 3G HSPA+ connectivity.(all important)
