    The ThinkLive contest celebrating the 15th Anniversary of the ThinkPad has come to an official end. And as such, we have selected the lucky winner of the $5,000 value ThinkPad Reserve notebook.

    That winner is Scott Hildebrand from California. Scott was randomly selected from the database of ThinkLive event viewers. He happens to be a member of our forums (though there was no requirement to be a member of the forums to have won the contest). Though the chance to win a ThinkPad Reserve has passed, you can still watch the ThinkPad 15th Annivesary video in which NotebookReview.com and Lenovo team up to see where the venerable ThinkPad line has gone, where it is now and where it's going.

    The ThinkPad Reserve Scott has won is a special edition notebook from Lenovo that is clad in leather and comes with a unique 3-year support warranty where you get same day support service virtually anywhere in the world. Under that exterior leather coat it's a 12.1-inch screen ultraportable notebook ready to do work on the go.

    Congratulations to Scott and thanks to Lenovo for the providing this great prize!
