Lenovo set to auction off Olympic-themed laptops for charity

Remember those cool-looking Lenovo laptops made to commemorate the 2008 Olympics in Beijing? Lenovo has announced that they’re only going to make a small run of these, and you’ll have to duke it out with other buyers to get your hands on one.

The laptops will go up for auction starting on February 8th of next year and run up until the start of the games. Some of them will even be signed by athletes competing in the games.

When a company puts their wares up for auction, there’s usually a charity that gets a cut. This is no exception, as all proceeds will go to the Lenovo Hope Fund charities. These focus on brining sports to children.
