ChargeTech
My beloved Samsung Series 9 laptop is on its last legs — not because of Windows issues or a worn keyboard or anything like that, but because its nearly three-year-old battery can no longer hold a decent charge. At this point I’m lucky to get 2 hours of runtime.
If you know this kind of pain, you’ll definitely want to enter today’s contest. Four lucky winners will receive a ChargeTech portable power outlet, a mobile charger that’s good not just for small gadgets like phones and tablets, but also for laptops!
Here’s a rundown of the prizes, their charge capacities and approximate retail value (ARV):
- ChargeTech Ultra – 27,000mAh, $200
- ChargeTech Extra Large – 24,000mAh, $150
- ChargeTech Large – 18,000mAh, $115
- ChargeTech Small – 12,000mAh, $85
Needless to say, you want one of these. And you can quite possibly get one, just by answering one or both of these simple questions: If you won a ChargeTech charger, what would you charge with it? And if you could rename the product, what would you call it? (My vote: “The Plug Buddy!”) Leave your answer(s) in the comments.
The complete rules, along with obligatory legalese, are below. Good luck!
