  Hi there Chio Bu, I'm pleased to inform you that you've been shortlisted among the candidates for the LG notebook user trial exercise. Before we can confirm your selection, you are required to answer one simple question and send me [b]a recent picture of yourself.
  
  Question: Apart from being a mobile workhorse, what do you think notebooks of today should perform as well?
  
  Warmest Regards,

  they need geeks

  Need geeks or pictures?
  
  Most likely a scam. Just like credit card companies won't ask for your password through an email or calling you up. And I bet no such trials. Better check email headers. Unless you are some regulars who test things out, otherwise, I would rather be on the safe side.

  they dont want good reviewers...they let the specs of the notebook speak..but style and class can be increases with 'chio bus' la...so they anything goes...since they charging premium for their 'style'...LG and samsung lappies...overpriced...
