Lenovo launches EExtraordinary hero contest

BANGALORE, INDIA: Do you think you have what it takes to be a hero in just 10 seconds? Or do you know one? Lenovo wants to know!

Starting August 1, Lenovo, in conjunction with Microsoft Corporation has launched EExtraordinary 10-Second Hero Contest in recognition of its Enhanced Experience 2.0 (EE 2.0) for Windows 7 program, which allows select Lenovo PCs to boot up in as little as 10 seconds.

According to the release, the global contest calls on "DOers" in countries around the world to submit 150 words explaining a good deed they or an organization they know of accomplished in 10 seconds.

Shailendra Katyal, Director-Marketing, Lenovo India said, "At Lenovo, we understand every second can have a big impact on our customers, which is why we created Lenovo’s Enhanced Experience 2.0 for Windows 7." 

He added, "Our proprietary RapidBoot technology allows Lenovo PCs to boot up 20 seconds faster than any other Windows 7 PC on the market today - a small feat that makes a big difference to users every day. Through the EExtraordinary contest, we are excited to uncover how others are making a difference by helping their communities in the same amount of time.”

The release further added that Lenovo will award $50,000 to a charity of choice based upon the person or organization who made the most significant impact in the same amount of time it takes to boot up a Lenovo PC with Enhanced Experience 2.0.

“We are pleased to support the EExtraordinary 10-Second Hero Contest,” said Soren Lau, GM OEM product marketing, Microsoft.

“Whether it's a business or individual, it doesn’t take more than 10 seconds to be a hero or make a difference. We believe putting time back in our customers’ day with Lenovo’s RapidBoot technology will make a difference to them as well," added Lau.
